edit: actually this does not refer to who you were referring to. He seems more like your typical Usian liberal.

If I had to place a bet, I would replace "Americans" with "Russian Trolls". You look at this guy's account, all he does is stir up shit. I honestly have trouble believing that anyone in the USA has the time to sit and troll all day. That requires a wage, such as they exist in St. Petersburg.

I suspect you are still a child yourself, but if you had children, visualize someone waving a gun in their face and threatening to kill them.

You're lying to someone, or else you are too young to really understand what has taken place here.

They threatened children with guns.

IANAL, but if it's true that a lawyer only needs to create Reasonable Doubt in the mind of a single jurist... I'm pretty sure I could do that. Of course, her lawyer will probably be a gig economy worker too, so they might just pepper spray her and plead guilty while she chokes. Badum. Tish.

(Marxist) But also, this woman, and all gig economy workers besides, is basically a sharecropper without land. I don't specifically think that what Nat Turner did was right, but I do understand why it happened. Likewise, someone who probably lives in their car 75% of their life because that's about all they can afford, forever, at the door of some comfortable warm secure home of a person who is participating in your exploitation just so they don't have to go retrieve their own extreuded meat paste sandwich... well like I said, I don't think what Nat Turner did was right either.(/Marxist)

More generally: Back in the 80s when everyone had a suburban home and nobody suffered, you still wondered if those teenagers in back of the McDonald's were messing with your food... and they were. And those kids had a bright future, or so they believed. We didn't appreciate what we had.

This is the LSCD (Late Stage Capitalism Doomer) version of a little extra sauce on your burger. Pillorying this prole won't even actually make anyone feel better, and it sure as shit is not going to fix a motherfucking thing.

They know that whatever their money religion's ministers say, at street level, NYC will be a great place to live, if Mamdani gets his way.

I display my movies and music in the order they were added by default, but I do recall a lot of historical problems with that functionality. It has not been a problem for me the last year or two, I would say, but I do remember it being a problem.

There's still lots of room for improvement, to be damn sure. But can't beat the feeling of freedom, you ask me.

That's full-on Newspeak, is what that is.

I figured my shit out by reading John Elder Robison, and followed him in medias for a while. Some time back, 5-10 years, he tried out a thing where they stimulate an area of your brain with (IIRC) electromagnetism, and he talked about it the way some people talk about being born again (the Jesus kind of born again). "I once was blind but now I see!"

I'm sure a google will turn up how that's going, it was just a study or something that he got to participate in at the time I think.

Just for the record, I'm going insane wondering what the thing is.

Bad week for me. Tandoor had become the home of quite a lot of recipes, and well, I'm never gonna just pull a docker container again without a backup, cause I did a pull and the bastard stopped working.

So I setup Django and got started doing my own recipe server cause I was never very enthused about Tandoor, too much netflix-like Presentation bullshit and did not allow for the very simple thing I wanted, which was, a compact list of my recipes by alphabet that I can swiftly click on the one I want.

I also need to get my Python chops back cause I think there will be jobs again, soon enough.

Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions of a better recipe app? Needs to run as a Linux server, that's about it. I can go Tailscale if it has no security. If I get mine to something usable I'll make it available.

 

Hey folks, I have a Mackie 802-VLZ4 mixer which does this narsty pop when you turn it on; I'm pretty sure it's what killed one of the woofers in my monitors. It has been put out of service and I will either harvest its many through-hole organs or else fix it.

I could not find a schematic, but I don't assume it can't be found, I just haven't yet. It's not a big board but it's all analog from what I can see.

There appears to be a separate power supply board which feeds

+15 AGND -15 GND +48

to the mixer, which is two boards connected by thick soldered wires.

I have looked with magnifiers on at all the caps, none appear to be leaky or swole, but I'm assuming this has something to do with the power supply putting out a spike at power on. The power board has a lot of really tiny caps, I still don't really understand power supplies that well. I need to do more studying of them I suppose, they're pretty central.

Edit: I have a little tiny oscilloscope that I bought years ago and haven't used yet, just figured the day would come. This is probably that day, to measure that spike from the power supply. From the looks of it I'm pretty sure that if I can just get better quality, non-spiking power to those connectors it should be fine.

Anyways this board would be very handy right this second if I felt like it was safe to let it touch my good kids, but at the moment it's the unfavored child who won't stop hitting the others. If anyone would like to see them I have/can take photos. The boards have codes on them, presumably codes that Mackie employees could use to dig up schematics, but will they? I suppose I'll try to find out today. It's past warranty of course.

 

Hey c/dogs, meet Bo (left, mine) and Marlo (right, his visiting cousin). They are hanging out by the poo, like they do.
