Ep 45 & 46: Xbox Underground

Ep 92: The Pirate Bay

Both are fantastic.

Steven Seagal fatly going around corners.

Noted!

Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.

Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn’t know I needed.

Thanks!

Well written.

I think an important concept to introduce is Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM for short.

Normal AC Power coming out of wall looks like a sine wave, in that it smoothly cycles between +110/240V and -110/240V. This means that 50% of the time the voltage is positive and 50% of the time the voltage is negative.

PWM usually deals with signals which are either entirely on or off, with no transiton between them. This way, you can vary the amount of “power” delivered by varying how much of the time the signal is on and how much of the time it’s off.

Dimmers usually modify the sine way in a way that tries to accomplish the same thing, by chopping up the signal to make the effective “on” time be shorter than 50%.

With non-dimmable LEDs, this messes with the AC to DC circuitry in the lamp in the way slazer2au says, because the lamp doesn’t retain enough power between two on-cycles to stay on.

It is. I still wish it “Politics” would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it’s own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the “World” prefix.

They’re slowing creeping in here in Denmark.

There is one around the corner from where I live. It doesn’t display anything but time and temperature (yet), but every time I walk past I secretly hope they’ve fired up the rave machine.

To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

…and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

What’s left ain’t right.

I knew this!

On the off chance that one of you needs to model an Icosahedron / D20 in CAD, constructing three golden rectangles is often the easiest way to go, as it removes the need for calculating face angles.

Slight correction: A zealot barbarian, who would have otherwise been dead, has such a low amount of HP that they’re vunerable to the sleep spell.

Zealot barbs have the same mountain of HP as every other barb, so they need winding down before Sleep will touch them.

No.

Netanyahu gotta go. Don’t condemn the population of a country because of the actions of its leader.

Wait, you don’t have anthropomorphic animals in traffic in tye US?

Baphomet flipping you the bird, even.

Eggs.

I’m curious as to how quickly BG3 rule changes will start making their way into tabletop house rules and 3rd party supplements.

My guess is pretty quickly, if my own group is any worthwhile measurement.

I like it a lot.

I have pretty narrow ear canals, so I can’t really wear airpods without fear of them flying out while biking. The ear hook design solves that. I misplaced a pair of KZ AZ09s on holiday this summer, but I’ve since replaced them with a set of Fiio UTWS3.

I have nothing but good things to say. The weight of the Bluetooth hooks negligible, especially because the majority of the weight is resting on your ears. I hardly feel them when I’m use (besides the feeling of the actual IEMs in my ears), and having a button on each ear is really convenient.

The case is on the big side, but it fits well enough in my pockets to not be that big of a deal. The battery in the units are big enough to last for ages, and the battery in the case being an actual big battery means I charge them once a month, at most.

Better yet, you can get Bluetooth ear hooks for both 2-pin and MMCX IEMs, if you ever want to lose the cable. They last longer than airpod types, offer better sound quality, and you can replace them without replacing the IEMs themselves.

I have a bunch of friends in middle management positions. Almost all of them cite being a raid leader in WoW as being a formative experience.
