Funny how complicated people make this very simple concept

It matters somewhat, in that you may be able to sync things between mobile and desktop if you use the ios version of your desktop browser

There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

Absolute banger of a game. Loved it when it first launched, excited to jump back in with the new content. Just in time for Halloween, too

Yeah, I love it and actually prefer it to my old reddit experience for general browsing.

What isn’t quite there yet is the ability to like, sit down all day and scroll and post in a community dedicated to my current hyperfixation of the week. Be it guitar maintenance, some indie game, or whatever.

But reddit also didn’t have that when I started using it. Excited to hang here and watch the garden grow

I use both at the same desk. I even use the same (windows layout) keyboard on both, and somehow I’m even able to reflexively remember to switch which hotkeys I use, such as win+c and win+v instead of ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy/paste. I did eventually have to switch the default scroll direction for my mouse wheel though, those being different was just too much lol

Oh now I see what you’re saying, thanks. Yeah I thought maybe there was something about showering I’d been overlooking all these years lol

I’ve been looking into some smart lights!

But I’m a bit confused, what do you use them for in the shower?

External* testicles are legit really cool though, they change their distance from your body to regulate temperature

*they also can and will retract all the way inside your body if it’s cold enough

Nah he definitely does angle. Maybe not super well or anything but there’s clearly some angling happening

This guy angles

For me personally, the solution I prefer to see for “Our idea for this game is shaping up to be packed full assets that will swamp development” is for them to find some excuse to cut the content. Genuinely. Artistry thrives in the presence of limitations.

Have an AI naturally grow the forest. Wait, there are plenty of games already doing that

What games out of curiosity? You don’t just mean normal procedural generation which has been around forever? It’s not the same as using AI to generate a million different haircuts.

For salt I just grabbed a small diner style salt shaker, it’s really cute and makes it easy to control portions

A nice pepper grinder! Makes every meal better

there should be a subtle difference between the two signals

Not really. It sounds generally like you’re overvaluing the role of a plane relative to the magnetic poles. The string moves somewhat circularly, like a jump rope. It doesn’t matter how you angularly orient the pickups, all else being equal.

As for per-string pickips, hey, I’m all for it. Give me 6 output jacks as well so that each string can get its own effects chain.

Have you ever considered getting into synthesizers? Based on your thoughts I feel like you’d really enjoy making synth patches

a guitar pickup appears to be more of a two dimensional sensor that picks up the motion of a ferromagnetic string in the two primary directions of motion

It’s actually not a 2 dimensional sensor. It’s 1D, the velocity of the string induces a current in the coil (Faraday’s law)

there are more complex harmonic motions present than a pickup can register in two dimensions

Again not sure where 2d is coming from, but the current perfectly corresponds to the velocity of the string, which we already know is identical to the sum of the velocities created by all of the harmonics (Fourier Transformation).

How did you reach the conclusion that some harmonics are missing from the resultant signal?

the coil and slugs of a pickup are surrounded by a single large winding, yet the strings each have very different frequencies

The human ear also has different sensitivity to amplitudes at different frequencies, with higher pitched sounds not needing as much energy to reach the pain threshold. The distance between each string and the pickups is also adjusted during setups, sometimes including tilting the pickups themselves depending on the type of guitar.

Just a few thoughts I had while reading. This style of pickup really is just popular just because the’ve been popular for so long and they’re supremely reliable even with as much abuse as we put guitars through. There are others; you might enjoy reading about the physics of a piezo pickup, and the problems they often create for players haha

I’m still crying about that :( olli olli world is such an incredible fucking game. I had just bought rollerdrome when I heard the news

Baseball cap! Been getting more into them lately after never really wearing hats. I started because a friend said they’re useful for hiking, but after getting compliments I started just wearing them in general as well.

Ah, I’m sorry I know this isn’t the point, but the depicted movement doesn’t hit biceps or shoulders at all. That’s like a lat pulldown and a tricep extension. Maybe a little hamstring activation too depending on what happens with the head after

Fair enough, yeah I’ll check back in on the thread too in case someone knows what it is. Very intriguing symptom
