Use the time and space machine on a ruler and send it back in time a pico second, then a millisecond, then a thousand, then a second, then a minute. You just have to calibrate with measurements first.

I was just introduced to errantry by jrr Tolkien. This thing is fire.

There's a polygon video by Brian David Gilbert where he explains the triplet flow used by a lot of mumble rappers, and then he goes on to rap the three -syllable Pokemon names. Great vid and a great rap. I mention it because the triplet part has always stuck in my head and gotten into my own writing. It was interesting to find triplets in an old jrr Tolkien poem.

Anyway, was jrr Tolkien the first mumble rapper? ~~Ant~~ Any other good old poems that use triplets?

Impedance, floating (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world to c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world

What's the difference between impedance and when a pin on a microchip is floating?

I get the basics of impedance. I'm capacitive impedance it's a build up of charge. Like air in a balloon. In resistive impedance it's a build up of the magnetic field, like a flywheel.

A floating pin isn't connected to anything reference voltage so it can fluctuate with surrounding interference or whatever.

Why do some ICs have tri state, low, high, and high impedance? Isn't high impedance the same thing as floating?

If it is high impedance that means it had to be connected to something, right? ~~Don't~~ Some kind of big capacitor or inductor in the chip?

Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

It’s Illegal to say something like, “I want to kill the president.” Like crazy illegal. It’s ok that I just said it because I was just telling you it’s illegal.

Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

There was an author before lovecraft, I believe he was an ambulance driver in ww 1, or something. I know he was on ww 1 and one of the stories talked about how much that shit sucked. I think he's died young, like 20s. Had a few published stories.

Ring any bells for anyone?

This is the guy who's dad -- upon hearing that his son shot up a gay club -- immediately thought that his son might be gay and was worried about that, but then was relieved that the son had only killed gays.

GPL + butt hole? (lemmy.world)

License stuff came up the other day. Got me wondering.

Could I use something like the mit or GPL license, but add a requirement that anyone that uses the software had to send me a pic of their butthole?

What is the use case for this GPL + bhole license?

Memes mostly. It world also need to have an age of majority clause.

Then if the library actually gets picked up somewhere it would be a good extortion tactic.

Messing around with Linux for the first time in a bbb.

I've learned things like ls -1al, those types of basics.

I'm getting the picture that Debian for the bbb is kind of bare bones, no pun intended. Is that right?

I'm interested in some bigger picture basics like that. Any suggestions for resources?

With Google podcast dying I'm looking for a replacement.

I'd like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I'm not interested in another pod catcher that'll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.

Retcon 6 chapters (lemmy.world)

They're really changing like 6 chapters? This seems crazy

Op isn't answering shit

For the likely large overlap this audience might have with dnd, it didn't make 100mil a year so it gets to eat shit. It doesn't help that the video game license isn't counted in that total. Other Hasbro brands do make 100mil a year.

I thought magic was one. It is surprising to see layoffs there.

Anyway, of course a corporation does evil shit. The only moral is the line going up.

Get open back headphones. They're specifically for audiophiles who think headphones aren't the same. I have some and love them. Ear buds and normal headphones feel like you're trapped in your head. Open back simulate being in the room with music.

Also, fuck you if you play your sorry ass music loud enough that your neighbors can hear it or feel it. I don't care if it's just the sweet part of Fade to Black or the riff on Aerodynamic, if a neighbor plays that shit pound enough to broadcast the muffled remix, it's fucking war.

Edit: actually an unpopular opinion, upvoted
