Modern DSP stuff is so drat cool. With a $40 microphone and less than an hour of time fuckin with free software, you can dial out all those weird little resonances and phase shifts and stuff, and make a speaker perform in ways traditional analysis says isn't even possible. The filtering and analysis techniques aren't new, but the accessibility sure is and man is it a game changer.

could you explain a bit more about this, with what software i would use to do this, and how? sounds neat

I use Room EQ Wizard with a Dayton UMM-6 to measure stuff and generate some basic minimum phase filters. Then I export that to rePhase to turn those instead into linear phase filters, and drag some sliders around to even out weird phase/group delay stuff. It will do some math and spit out a filtered impulse response that you can throw into something like Equalizer APO for PCs, Viper or JamesDSP on android, or obviously a dedicated DSP if you have one nice enough to support impulse response correction. If I'm doing multiple discrete channels in a weird configuration like a car, I'll use REW again with the filters active to measure for time delay again and get the soundstage right. It looks pretty daunting at first but it's pretty easy and cheap and fast and extremely effective.

awesome, thanks much Lowclock. i'll have to check out what i can do w/ a basic mic and these

also some say the flavor/smell compounds, called terpenes, have a significant effect separate from (or perhaps in combination with) the cannabinoids in the different strains. i don't know if this is true or not, but i know the focus is in the opposite direction of blandness

one thing you can get is a cold press extraction, which they use to make live resin, full spectrum extracts. they may test lower % thc on the lab, but since they have so much more of the profile of the plant, overall you end up getting pretty high from them. they feel the most like just smoking buds to me, coupled with the potency of an extract

nvidia has a reputation for being a difficult company to work with, eg the apple spat that's ongoing, or evga peacing out from selling graphics cards going forward. it's also a waste of resources. i'd like to see graphics go the way of soundcards, and end up w/ integrated memory shared w/ the proc, just allocate it based on usage. that's where apple is going with it

i don't really use weed and am pretty sensitive to drugs of all kinds in general, so modern hyperspace superweed makes me Way Too High after a single toke, so that ditch weed looks pretty great to me

i feel like a lot of the perceived difference here in the 70s weed strains is illusory. how to put this politely.. grooming standards were different in the 70s, and weed used to be trimmed w/ the leaves still on and such. adjusted for modern trimming and all, it's probably more similar than different and nearly as potent

i tried to go through heating ducts. tried to go through the attic down to the basement as well by the laundry chute.

i refuse to go through the outside of the house, i'm not drilling through the brick exterior unless it's absolutely necessary.

my place has drop ceilings, was quite nice for running all the cables through there, i hardwired everything. just had to be careful of the sprinkler system.
although even w/ just wireless now, under good conditions you can get like 150mbps or more, which is sufficient to me mostly; i use that some, too. but if reception / speed isn't good it's more of a chore to take care of

you have to put it in a big pan, ideally on a rack or something so it doesn't go swimming, and cover it, give it ample time to cook and season it. it's not super involved to make a good turkey. making a great turkey takes some effort, like anything

i tend to agree w jabberlock. if digital painting tools were trying to recreate physical painting it'd be one thing, but half the point is that you can set precise values for opacity, change colors whenever you want, mash undo a bunch, etc. don't get me wrong, i very much want to play with this sort of thing because i've never really messed with physical painting on canvas and id love to play with a reasonable facsimile of it without the mess and expense - but this is a new feature imo, not correcting an existing problem

it'd be cool to have both modes available with a toggle. i suppose it's getting into a question of whether computer things should mimic the real world or not in their implementations; both can be useful

yet another reason why dark souls 2 was the best in the series

i've been replaying ds2, got the illusory rings the other day. fun game, but also the most divisive as far as opinions of it. i like it, but it's so involved to finish a full playthrough of it. it's way more tedious than elden ring. nice to replay, but i don't think i'll revisit it after i finish with this

here's a speedrun race w/ two speedrunners from esa (spoilers for ds2 obv):

My favorite part of DS2 is how they clearly designed it with the idea that you'd take the flame from bonfire to bonfire, saving it at various stationary torches, but abandoned the idea at some point. drat that would have been sweet though. I love that concept.

i played the beta, and they had powerstancing with different effects on the spells.
there are a lot of ideas in ds2 that didn't quite work, and they haven't revisited but it's kind of cool. like world / character tendency in demon's souls

they don't seem to be the same as regular quicktime files anyway (there is no atom structure that i can see and ffmpeg also reports that). i'm guessing they'd have to be opened with something like quicktime 4/5 and then re-encapsulated into the newer quicktime format (not re-encoded necessarily), but i don't have anything capable of doing that handy right now

you could probably do this fairly simply in a vm w/ say virtualbox, and a mac os from that time
