Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it

Sure, but only fourth grade logic is required to see why that’s wrong.

Trump: 50,000,000 votes

Kamala: 50,000,000 votes

Other candidates: 1,000 votes + 3,000 votes + 7,000 votes + …

When an primitive voting scheme is used that says “winner takes all and you can only vote for one candidate,” a vote for any other candidate is essentially the same as not voting unless the masses gather behind a single third party (which will never happen, especially with the internet).

A voting scheme more sophisticated that allows people to pick multiple candidates, in something like a ranked list for example, would make third party votes worth something. But that disrupts the status quo and doesn’t help career politicians, so we’ll never see that unless heads start rolling.

Nice. The only ones I played were on PS1 so I’m unfamiliar with the newer ones haha

Here’s my attempt with no Googling

Edit - that’s GTA 4 not SA, I thought that didn’t sound right

They say you need to be home all day to make bread and now I see why! Lol

Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful response, we’ll try it out next weekend!

My girlfriend and I are on a huge sourdough kick right now, and we’d love to start making it ourselves. Do you have a recipe you’d recommend? Any tips and tricks you’ve learned from experience?

Not necessarily. Buttons and switches introduce contact resistance, which in the case of the mushy Duracell buttons, is relatively high and also dependent on how hard they’re pressed.

Ideally, the buttons are pressed very hard to ensure the entire contact area is closed, minimizing the contact resistance from the buttons. A good switch should have little resistance.

Poorly closing the contacts by not pressing the Duracell buttons very hard would result in higher contact resistance (because there’s physically less contact between both halves of the switch), which means less current flows through the strip and less heat is generated. This would look identical to a deader battery with the buttons pressed well.

Thinking about buying one to play Project Zomboid on. Has anyone here done that? Happy with the experience?

This is Figaro.

ChatGPT apparently lol

Why though? I thought impedance of the human body is lower at 50/60 Hz than at DC.

Also, holsters are a thing

I haven’t, but I’m also an electrical engineer so I’m pretty familiar with the issue haha

Fun thing you can do, is open your mouse and look up the PN of your switch on DigiKey. Filter for components with the same package/footprint, then sort by actuation force. Get a few different ones and try them out. They sell good brands there.

I play a lot of shooters, so my left click is real easy to press, and my right click is ~3x harder.

If you have basic soldering skills and care enough to do this, the mouse buttons can be replaced for less than a dollar each. Not that this excuses Logitech’s poor QA, but my g502 g305 will last damn near forever if I keep replacing the switches like I have been.

Thanks for the reminder that English is dumb
