What comes after death?

Well, it appears that they acquired their capital as a company focused on a moral cause that people were excited to get behind/support and quality products people wanted to buy. It also appears as though once they achieved the goal of capital acquisition to a certain level (or they saw diminishing returns in the shoe business), they completely shifted their focus towards maximizing shareholder value with their acquired capital, and this would also appear to mean abandoning the customer base that put them there: people who bought the shoes that they sold.

It's an interesting example. It could, in theory, serve as a template: champion a moral cause to secure capital and abandon said cause after reaching the financial goal.

It could also be fair to say that they saw no future in the shoe business and the pivot was out of necessity. I would have to dig deeper, but this is as far as I go today, thanks for your time. Peace.

Keep going, get a reflow station and try some smd solder kits. Get all the solder kits you like, try chisel tips with your iron. Try to etch your own pcb.

Fanfiction/Please permit me to make wild allegations, I was also looking at this yesterday and wondered: is it the apple of knowledge of sexual reproduction? (I know the book says good and evil, I get it)

The other tree was the fruit of eternal life. They did not consume this fruit.

So, as for the story, humans could neither sexually reproduce nor live forever/a long time prior to eating the fruit of the knowledge of sexual reproduction. Life and death. Good and evil.

They ate it, wanted to have sex with each other and were ashamed and covered themselves to avoid sexual arousal.

The free will they received was the ability to sexually reproduce.

In the story, angels cannot sexually reproduce with each other?, but seemingly live forever/a long time, and angels supposedly did get very excited that they could now sexually reproduce with humans: nephelim. Hybrids. There are no female angels.

Two different technology trees: humans with sexual reproduction and limited lifespan and angels with longevity/eternal life/angel powers/no females.

This gave the world a third (unintended?) hybrid nephelim class and this upset the balance of power on earth/the creation.

The chaos that ensued inspired yahweh to flood his creation and try again?

Wild shit! For me these are the chaotic and confused retelling of a story of extraterrestrial influence on the development of the human species.

This particular chapter is focused on origins and bloodlines of humanity so it makes sense to me in that way 🙃

Thank you for your time.

Of course you can, but why would you do that? I believe that it is essential to understand the artist, the art, and their contemporary environment. All together. This is the deepest respect and appreciation that we can show to the arts. If you were to commit any error of omission in studying the art, that is your volition. Ask yourself: what is motivating me to make this decision? It starts and ends with you.

I wanted to add one more thing, I am sorry: I never cared for jk or Kanye to begin with so there is no conflict for me if I decide that I don't appreciate them as an artist anymore. I do believe that if you raise your artist standards to a high level you will inevitably do less backtracking and have less angst over this subject. Have more respect for yourself and for the arts.

Take a small example, a tip from me, take all of your money give it up to charity.

I tried it and really like how open and not contrived (compared to there language apps) it is. Can you add a grammar section? I am at the point where I have the hiragana down and am okayish with Katakana, I know a lot of words/vocabulary but still feel like I cannot do anything with it because I don't grasp the grammar and conjugation-like rules of the language. Thank you.

This is a truly beautiful picture and sentiment which has set my weary soul at ease, thank you.

You cannot demoralize me. It is not possible.

The most important thing we can do is to BREAK the programming. This is not okay and it doesn't matter if generations have been programmed to accept this condition. We must not accept this condition. We must BREAK the programming.

 

I built two circuits as similarly as possible 1) quad ua741 and dual NE5532. FFT on my Rigol scope showing peaks at 1k and 15k as set/expected (2 channels from Seesil generator are mixed with 1k signal at 80% of 15k signal amplitude) with this I believe I created a tool to do AM with my cheap Seesil generator and can also mix two audio signals.

That said, I have no clue what I am doing. I based my testing procedure off an Elenco radio kit.

So I guess I actually have two questions or areas where I am trying to understand better:

  1. What makes one op-amp better than another? I am talking about the IC itself, I believe. Why is NE5532 better than ua741, I see and hear the difference, now why?

  2. What should I be testing and/or what data should I be collecting to better understand and characterized?

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am 100% self-taught savage from the wilderness and stumbled into your camp, but we are not so different, I promise, just had to walk down different road in life. Thanks again.

 

Hobbyist/DIY guy in a garage. I use Linux. I have briefly tested Eagle and a couple circuit design apps but didn't like anything about any of them, did not spend sufficient time with them either, though. Eagle is going away? Any recommended apps for designing pcb and/or services? I am also open to more artisinal methods. What direction should I point my momentum? Not afraid to try things out but also not wanting to waste time. I have been breadboarding for a minute, learned to solder, benn making some pcb gadgets and think I am ready. Thank you. (Pic is audio mixer with two NE5532 and LM386)

 
  1. System76 Meerkat is my workstation with pop-os, I have 2. a Beelink s13 that I have installed and configured fedora server headless with podman for a development lab, and for 3. My vision was a NAS Samba plus Jellyfin and Homeassistant device. NAS supports 2 ssd plugged directly into usb which host backup for Meerkat and s13.

For 3., I have tried unsuccessfully with a raspberry pi 5, not saying I have any skill whatsoever but I spent a significant amount of time and got so fucking close but it was not a sustainable system that I created in the end I moved on next to a GMK G3 plus which, out of the box, and immediately could not sustain connection to the ssd via usb, I methodically tested all the usb ports with both ssd devices and concluded that there was no fucking way this unit will sustain a connection to these usb ssd for any amount of time. So I am not using that device.

I have ordered and waiting to receive Beelink s12 and going to try that next for my 3. vision.

All that said, I am in the struggle and if anyone had kind words or advice, yes please.

Also, please shoot me straight: am I removed? Is this a recipe for failure? Is it unreasonable to run those services on s12? Is it foolish to think I can sustain two ssd via usb and backup via Samba with s12?

S13 and s12 are ethernet connected to router, Meerkat is wireless connected.

I genuinely appreciate any attention here, thank you for your time.

*Also wanted to add, earlier I got one of the refurbished servers, Lenovo I believe, off Amazon. It was advertised with 1 TB ssd. When it arrived, there was no ssd and the ribbon cable appeared damaged. Just adding that for the record here as well.
