then again one of the tubes was a pentagrid converter and i don't think you can copy that using just one transistor

...but also one of them was the rectifier diode so maybe you could use two transistors for the converter and still have a total of five if you don't count the diode as a transistor (which pretty much no one would anyway)

i wonder how easy it'd be to adapt the all-american five (a five-tube radio design that was really popular in north america) to a five-transistor radio

it kinda feels a little strange that external combustion engines are so much more efficient than internal combustion engines, but I guess that's down to scale--external-combustion steam engines are much, much larger than the internal combustion engine in a car

we need to fix up our audio library... got some albums with wrong names and stuff, or with the album field filled in as "(Album) disc 1" and "(Album) disc 2" which our player reads as two separate albums, which is annoying when you get cases of four+ disc sets

and then sometimes some tracks in an album have the album field as "(Video Game) Soundtrack" and others as "(Video Game) OST" and others still as (Video Game) OSV" and it's a mess

what happened to mp2, anyway? you get mpeg, which i assume is mp1, and you get mp3 and mp4, but where'd mp2 go? and why can't mp3 do video?
