I can’t say I actually know how they made it work, because I’ve never designed or worked on one, but circuitry that cuts out when the voltage drops is pretty common. More of an electrical/electronics engineering type of thing than audio engineering.

I would be shocked to learn it’s cheaper than producing a CD. I can almost guarantee that it’s simply some kind of kitschy thing.

One time when we were tripping on acid, one guy found a blade a grass that he claimed was changing colors. A bunch of the other guys gathered around and they were all laying there in a circle on their stomachs looking at it, trying to figure out if it was actually changing colors or if they were just tripping.

They were being ridiculous so I was just laying there staring at the clouds laughing while listening to them debating it.

The best part was that after about 10 minutes, they concluded that it must actually be changing colors.

“You don’t wash the mushrooms? It says on the package, man, they might have poop or pesticide or whatever else.”

When we make something about the other person, telling them that they are wrong and, in this case, even disgusting, they are going to get offended and be less amendable to seeing your side and helping you out. They may get shamed into doing it, but I think this damages the relationship.

Just make it about yourself

“Hey, Im a bit squeamish about unwashed veggies. Do you mind if I rinse them for you?”

Gets the same point across, but makes it about yourself rather than the other person, so they have no reason to be defensive. They will also be more likely to open up to changing.

No need to fabricate some lie, as that might backfire at some point.

“Hey I would be more comfortable if the vegetables were washed. Do you mind if I wash them?”

Or just offer to help and start washing them.

The important thing is to not make it about them, but about you. Most people don’t get offended when you make it all about yourself, and not them doing something wrong.

You responded to me and insulted me, and I’m the one trolling. Lol you crack me up.

This sounds like the gym I used to go to. It was mostly massive powerlifters and female Instagram influencer…all super serious into fitness. And guys would ask me to spot them all the time, and we would often share racks and chat. The girls mostly kept to themselves, but the dudes were all pretty chummy with each other.

Although that being said, I still think this is made up because I’ve never heard anyone vocally bad mouthing other people at the gym such that they can hear, and the bad mouthing i have heard has absolutely never been about someone out of shape trying to better themselves. It’s always because someone was being a jerk, or selfish or something like that.

Painfully obvious even to someone sucking a dick. Wow, that must really sting

You absolutely should be giant assholes to those people doing the most damage.

But this does not preclude you from doing something to decrease your own, likely outsized, damage yourself. It certainly does not excuse you from doing nothing.

Knee jerk bs response. The poster didn’t say don’t participate in society, but that we all need to do our part.

Not smart. Not informed. Not okay.

Quite the trifecta there. I’m sure you’re killing it at life. Lol

Assuming no maliciousness, upvotes are not the equivalent of truth votes, but what people want to believe is true or think probably is true.

And make no mistake about it, Lemmy is no different. Might even be worse when it comes to voting along ideological lines.

Are you okay?

I didn’t ignore the point. You just reiterated the facts as I did, but pretended that they proved things that they do not. You probably think I know I’m full of shit, because you know you are and are projecting.

Also from the link:

The irony is that Sanders was a prime beneficiary of this bias, not a victim of it.

The original claim is that sanders got screwed by the DNC and Clinton conspiring against him, something the emails proved. The article here says he benefited from her and the DNC actions, the exact opposite of being screwed by her and the DNC.

If we are arguing that they’re problems with the nominating process and how the DNC runs things, what this article is actually addressing, then yes im 100% on board. We can start by getting rid of super delegates and implement something like star voting.

But to read that article and actually see it is as confirming the belief that sanders got screwed by Clinton and the DNC, is just mind boggling to me.

Literally, multiple times, the source explicitly contradicts the point…and are still you are trying to maintain that it supports your point?

So you don’t see any similarities?

Yes, I see similarities. But as I said, I’m not even sure what you’re driving at exactly.

So, other than the thing I pointed out, you have no evidence of anything.

I didn’t say they were the same thing; my whole point is that they are different. We’re talking about people thinking they’re talking to a human, compared to people attributing a single human attribute to a spoon. But probably not even really for the latter because if you ask someone if the spoon is actually sad, most everyone will say no.

I’m not sure what you’re driving at exactly, but keep in mind that these were private conversations that were made public. You’re talking about public comments.

But the funny thing is that the reason they were mad about sanders is that it was clear Clinton was going to win, and he was publicly attacking her.

Amazing, from your link

The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders.
