I am curious about your references. The de-dollatization stuff comes directly from BRICS and Chinese propaganda and I think you have something mixed up with the WTO and SWIFT, specifically when the EU was dropping Russian banks from SWIFT in March. (Everyone seems to be fed up with the WTO at the moment.)

While you have every right to be pro or anti on anything you want, launching a new account direct into specific multi-paragraph narratives is kinda sus.

I looked into that and the only question I really have is how geographically distributed the samples were. Other than that, It was an oversampled study, so <50% of the people were the control, of sorts. I don't fully understand how the sampling worked, but there is a substantial chart at the bottom of the study that shows the full distribution of responses. Even with under 1000 people, it seems legit.

There is a place for that. It's called 4chan.

Well, the administration supposedly made some kind of minerals deal to continue to support Ukraine. (It was just bullshit PR for Trump "making deals".)

Still, I doubt any partner was surprised by this as the Trump administration is pointlessly unpredictable.

In this study, we conducted a survey (n = 742) including a representative U.S. sample and an oversample of gender minorities, racial minorities, and disabled individuals to examine how demographic factors shape AI attitudes.

I have a Zoom L12 for mixing/recording my synthesizers, PC system sound and additional PC audio interface. I got it used for $500.

You can get super cheap mixers as well, but the quality will probably be hit-or-miss. (Proper grounding and interference being the biggest issues.) I got lucky with a $40 4 channel mixer that I use when running too many synths and just need to route sound somehow.

It been 30 mins for ads and trailers for as long as I can remember and I am in my 40's.

This also happens when the water is not good enough to drink. (That is a theory on why we even have beer at all.)

tankiejerk is also acceptable.

Whelp. I did catch a clip of is voice on the YouTubes and yeah, I do agree even more he is based in the US.

 

Just a quick note that Instance upgrades appear to break Connect. It's no biggie! Just re-login and all is good. (Some of my existing connectons worked, some didn't.)

 

[Edit: Scroll back to top after refresh fixed!]

Not sure if feature request or if bug.

When a feed is manually refreshed, the page does not automatically scroll back the the very top of the feed. It does, kind of, but the position is ~10 posts below the top.

A "return to top of feed" button would be cool as well if it was located on the opposite side of the screen of the "+" overlay button. (IMHO, it would be a great button to have, but it would be super annoying if it was easy to mis-click.)

 

Howdy y'all! I am diving extremely deep into mycology and am on a quest to catch up on all modern research on the subject. I recently discovered 21st Century Guidebook to Fungi (Free from the authors!! https://www.davidmoore.org.uk/21st_century_guidebook_to_fungi_platinum/) but I need MORE! I'll list out some conditions and wants to see if that gets me in the right direction.

  • I am looking for fairly advanced books that are college level or higher.

  • Diversity of authors and research is awesome. (Conflicting data between books is also not a problem as this is a "relatively new" field of study.)

  • Detailed information about genetics, breeding, etc.. Information about different methods to breed and cross fungi would be a huge plus. (I am entering this hobby with a minimal understanding of genetics. I do understand that Mendel only scratched the surface on genetics with highly controlled studies about peas and his theories have a metric ton of caveats.)

  • If anyone can recommend a good "bible" for mushroom identification, that would be great. I have one, but it is lacking. Any phone apps I have found are OK, but those are better supported with core knowledge first, me thinks. (Side note: I have been hearing rumors that identification of fungi may be slowly changing. While classification has typically been by fruit characteristics, that might not be the full story.)

  • Aside from a focus on genetics and identification, what books have you found to be super interesting? (How to Change Your Mind or Fantastic Fungi would be examples of something in the "interesting" category and may only be slightly related to mushrooms.)

  • What universities are on the forefront of research of fungi and psychedelics? UC Davis, UC Berkeley and a couple others have been releasing lectures and studies recently that are super interesting. (As a side-topic, I am enamored by the potential of psychedelics. While there is a great deal of spiritual self discovery to be had, I am super interested in the science behind it all.)

Thanks in advance for any information dump you can provide here!

 

The alien.top instance block will not be applied correctly after filter is added. I believe part of the problem is that they use a generic name, selfhosted.forum, maybe?

Edit: So, when I Block Instance through the main feed, 'alien.top' is added to the list. Manually adding 'selfhosted.forum' works and the instance is now blocked. That instance is mis-reporting its name and confused Connect.

This is a post example that still appears on my feed:

 

Preamble: I have been pushing the "I believe" button for way to long when it comes to crystal oscillators and their supporting components. The concept is simple, as they generally consist of proper loading and some kind of (pre)amplifier. "Small thing shake fast and you amplify". However, the full concept has never "clicked" in my brain and it feels like a huge knowledge gap that I should have filled years ago.

Asking these questions is horrendously embarrassing since I am a licensed ham and I should intuitively understand how all resonant circuits work by this point in my life. (Hopefully, y'all have a better way for me to visualize resonant circuits in general.)


From this schematic, all I see is a DC source, an amplifier, and maybe a super-simple RC tank circuit (of sorts) and the wave should never drop below 0v:

Some of the most basic crystal schematics (concept diagrams?) show a crystal connected directly to an AC source.

The concept of a crystal is simple: Apply a voltage and it moves, remove that voltage and it returns to its original shape. That kind of explains why kick-starting oscillation is needed, but that is not really where I am confused.

My questions are:

Is the crystal more closely related to an inductor in a basic RLC circuit? Is L being an approximate relationship to X a good way to visualize this?

Does the crystal "force" an RC resonant circuit to operate at a specific frequency because of its tendency to only operate efficiently at a given frequency in wildly different environments? (This question is a result of the first: Does an inductor act like a crystal in some ways?)

Since basic BJT amplifiers are generally shown with super-basic crystal schematics, is that amplification a functional part of generating a wave form? So, if the BJT was removed, the circuit would still function but it would be at a much lower current? (TBH, I am getting a gut feeling that the BJT is functionally related to an opamp with feedback in the above schematic, maybe?)

Thanks in advance for any education. Cheers!

(Oh, I do understand we are mixing AC and DC circuit concepts here, so that isn't an issue for me either. I also could just "look at the formulas" for building crystal circuits, but I need a better understanding of the core concepts first.)

 

There is a federated instance that seems to be doing 1:1 post copies from Reddit. Not only are the questions copied, all the users are bots and entire comment chains are copied. This is not entirely a bad thing in some edge cases.

However, reposting questions in fake(?) tech support communities with fake comments is annoying as hell and a waste of time for people who really want to give genuine advice. alien.top is one of those weird instances, for example.

I can easily block the instance on my client, so there is that. If this is actually an issue, it should be blocked, defederated, whatever, at the lemmy.ca instance level.

In fairness, I don't have a full grasp of the details of how federation actually works, and personally, I don't really care at the moment. (I'll dig into it later as time permits.) Heck, for all I know, there could be a legitimate connector built to facilitate easier transition for users that are migrating from Reddit to Lemmy. (Is that even a thing?)

Cheers. Sorry if I sound stupid. This was just bothering me a bit.

 
 

For my conditions, it seems that 50/50 hardwood saw dust/wheat bran is performing better than standard masters mix. It's probably a hair too humid for it in my tent, but it's gotta be higher for the oysters that are fruiting now.

(That is a 5lb block of substrate)
