@relee was it ever tied to dysphoria? the only reference point we have for that is transmedicalists who are insistent that you can't be trans if you're not dysphoric and that's a widely reviled opinion

@ziphi Liquid state drives (mercury acoustic memory)

@relee you absolutely count as trans if you want to

@owashii@plush.city @LexYeen Still give it a try. Doesn't cost you anything and they've been known to make exceptions.

@trysdyn The math actually works out perfectly--the fact that an accelerating reference frame is indistinguishable from a gravitational field is actually the central tenet of special relativity
-F

they're still useful because they're better than silicon mosfets in terms of having both high blocking voltage and high current capacity

now we have SiC mosfets that can replace IGBTs in most if not all applications, but they're still much more expensive and it's still a developing technology, they only became commercially viable about five to ten years ago
-F

IGBTs really suck for what they're used for

they're really slow and have really high on-state loss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Vyi3Gi5dE this uses a neat way to emulate the sound of a bass guitar (starting about 2 minutes in)

every note is preceded by like 1 frame of noise, which gives a feeling of like, fingers rubbing against the string before it's properly plucked

@WAHa_06x36 this algorithm makes no sense and yet it appears to produce pretty good results

@NinTheFolf stream of what?

how exactly does peter piper pick a peck of pickled peppers

were they pickled while still on the vine or something? how did they get pickled
-F

@sharkNserg what are backrooms and bendy and the ink machine?

@DarkOverord i keep meaning to ask, is this incredibly tall aspect ratio your phone or something? because that's an incredibly tall phone if so
-F

apparently medieval people thought that peasants ate poor-quality food because 1) they preferred it and 2) high quality food would be literally poisonous to them

whee, classism

@KaffeineKaiju ah i'm sorry, i forgot to check

i don't think they're what you want anyway though, they're not noise cancelling
-F

@KaffeineKaiju you're welcome! I hope you can find something good and noise-cancelly
-F

@KaffeineKaiju we've also had them for about eight-ish years now and they still work fine (though some of the padding is tenuously attached right now and needs to be glued back on), so longevity is good

i don't remember which specific model we have, it's in the car right now, but if you care i can check when on the way back from work tonight
-F

@KaffeineKaiju The only problem is the cost, we're not big on Fancy Headphones so maybe they're normal in terms of price, we just wanted comfort and they definitely give that
-F

@heatherhorns if their name isn't Guy i call shenanigans
-F

@KaffeineKaiju we've found Sennheiser headphones are usually pretty good for fitting with glasses, to the point that I don't think we ever considered our glasses as a thing that needs to be considered? we've had a couple pairs from sennheiser and they just work and are really comfortable

i dunno about their frequency response but i know sennheiser is a really well regarded brand among people who care about that--we just get them because they're comfortable and good over-ear headphones are hard to find
