People across the world probably really think I’m gay from these jokes 😆


making people uncomfortable is a good time.
Nobody believes you are gay. If you start hanging out with or defending Maggot, Maser, DeathBeforeDismount, or Hillary there might be some questions raised. Just don't wear high heels on casual Friday anymore and you will be okay.
 

That last image isn't accurate.

"It isn't really "two sides". The two channels are cut at right angles to each other, each at a 45 degree diagonal to the record plane. The polarity is such that the sum of the channels -- L+R -- causes left-and-right groove wiggles while the difference (L-R) causes up and down. <BR><BR>This was originally very important for compatibility with the huge installed base of mono pickup cartridges -- a mono cartridge is sensitive only to the left-to-right wiggles and so automagically picks up the L+R signal. Of course it was later found that mono cartridges typically had poor compliance in the vertical direction and so would chew up the groove bottom... <BR><BR>Incidently, the two channels aren't all THAT separate. Crosstalk in phono playback is only around 30 dB."


I took some very high res SEM and phase contrast light microscopy images of vinyl grooves and CD pits back when digital was getting popular in the 80's. CD pits aren't all that pretty, but a high res image of a vinyl groove is a thing of beauty.

Direct to Disc vinyl is pretty amazing although I'll admit that modern digital can also be amazing and is the future. For now anyway.

Hey, I learnt sumthin’ today. 👍🏻
 
Not sure how it happened, but… my wife hates jewelry, makeup, and flowers. She shops at thrift stores and basically wears the same thing everyday.

Now you know how I can afford all those cool NODs and Pew. 🥰

It’ll be 30 years of wedded bliss this May.

thanks for that! Very cool.

Just sent it to my daughter who’s in college getting her speech pathology degree; one of her current classes is the physics of sound waves. I told her there was an error in the comments and told her it’s pop quiz time!

What should I offer as a reward if she figures it out?

Oh, I know; how about I pay for her degree! LoL

Awesome/not awesome pic of the destruction of our yard as they run the lines for the new septic system; all because we just had to add a bathroom to the detached garage/casita/pool house. This is just one small area, but because of the terrain and stand-off regulations it has to go around 3/4 of our property, so almost every piece of actual yard is getting destroyed to some extent and will have to be re-landscaped.

Le sigh…first world problems.

…and yes, we knew this was coming, and it’d all get destroyed, so the weeds are way out of control for now!

They "made" you do all of that, even though you're not adding a bedroom or increasing the occupancy load? I've seen a grinder pump system work in many situations like that. Just push the waste over into the existing system. Best of luck.

We‘re keeping the same basic system, but because State regulations changed since our system was installed 10 years ago (thanks Austin commies!), and we’ve added a lot of rock vs. grass to our landscaping, we have to replace our sprayers with leach fields. The tank itself isn’t changing (just barely meets the new capacity requirements, thank God), but we had to add substantial drainage to get to the capacity requirements for the number of bathrooms now dumping into the system.

And the routing is due to the 10’ standoff from all property lines. Unfortunately, we built the casita on the ‘wrong’ side of the pool for optimum septic routing…but it had to be there for the plot layout to work.

Just a damn expensive bathroom in the end, LoL.

Again, first world problems.

Rules: But at least it’s gonna be a nice bathroom:

Time for more press therapy, followed by ballistic therapy later this afternoon!
