    There are too many damn anime communities on Lemmy
  • They chill until they post sexy pictures of 16 year old characters.

    Then you post the age of the character in the post. That more fun than blocking.

    Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
  • even the idea of altruism is a lie.

    Wow. You're right. Helping others is as politicized as abortion. One of the tribes can't even fathom uplifting their neighbors because that could be equated to socialism and it would get them kicked out of their in-group.

    Is there a name for a rememberrey like this, but it is a very specific meme crossover?

    Like, a t-shirt with the Mario font but the text is bros before hoes, or something mainstream pumpkin spice like that. That's a normal crossover.

    I only like crossovers when no one else in my life will understand them, whatever you call them.

    Alcohol from peppers?
  • Before you put in the work of making this yourself, try some hot pepper beers first. Jalapeno especially imparts a waxy aftertaste, and the heat his differently in the back of the throat because your drinking rather than eating. Too close to a heartburn sensation for me

    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?

    T-shirts sleeves that poof out

    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?

    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.

    Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there's just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There's really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a time.

    I know this might not matter for measurement resolution. Especially if you're polling at like 115k serial or something, but...

    That's 8 bits per axis, and three axis. Now that's at least 34 bits. To sample each axis we're down to only 4.5k samples per second. Plus whatever other cycles the controller has to handle... even if I spent half that time doing microcontrolle cycles at like 2k we're probably still well with the best star craft apms or whatever. I'd still like to find some way to really over engineer this thing.

    I read a little about tdm, but that's out of my league and I don't know if you could even have 3 simultaneously signals that way

    I'm thinking a microcontroller for each axis, and a usb port for each of them. So it appears like 3 different controllers to the computer. The user would just have to map the axis from the 3 controllers into 1 in their game software. I assume the steam remapping could do this.

    Is it just going to get smashed back into one thread in the computer's usb hub anyway?

    Any other suggestions?

    I get it. High heels are hot. Tighten the calves. Lift the butt. Taller. More step on me energy. They're hard to walk in. All valid points.

    However, the sound of heels, its like an insecure toddler stomping down a hallway. Just imagine a normal pair of shoes doing the heel - toes slap. Clop clop clop. Cringe.

    I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn't getting the hint.

    Is this what it's like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it's their best move, then get bitchy when you don't drop your pants for a two step?

    I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I'm still curious if anyone's experienced similar in the game. Maybe I'm way off thinking there's some empathy lessons in here. It's obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

    Sneaking is op because you can start a battle with a sneak attack from Astarion and then the combat tracker is just Astarion and the enemies that saw him, or maybe only the little pillar of light that shows up.

    Once Astarion gets locked into the combat tracker you can still maneuver everyone else around the enemies sight lines and get a few more alpha strikes in outside of the combat tracker. My paladin -- in full plate -- can walk right up to an enemy that's frozen in the combat tracker as long as he doesn't walk into the sight cone.

    I beat dror, m, and gut in the goblin camp all without any of them taking any turns because I was able to alpha strike them into the dirt by just starting combat with the whole party sneaking, and then walking them right up outside of the combat tracker.

    Is there a party that can really exploit this? Ranger, wolf barb, shadowharts +10 party sneak, and an assassin rogue? Just alpha strike everything.

    No shit skip, of course they shouldn't turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it's perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

    Why don't sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

    Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.
