@freemo @thor There's also the 60 Cycle Hum that still shows to this day. The Humbucker is pretty impressive if you think about how elegant it is. I'd imagine college students today trying to use a raspberry pi to accomplish the same thing and probably using a very similar method.

@freemo @thor My God, someone else has needed to unplug a guitar because it won't shut up. If I recall correctly a G 5th will make a drum cage resonate with the correct amount of gain.

Waves are really cool.

@thor Wait is this a guitar amp? and with a guitar hooked up?

@thor @freemo On a piano those would be B-C and E-G in frequency. So there's something like a fifth chord occurring? Those are higher pitches to so maybe a guitar is picking them up and it's causing a resonance through the bridge? I believe the second and third strings are tuned to 5ths and the same with the fifth and sixth strings.

With stringed instruments many odd things happen. Trying to tune my guitar next to a piano would make it very difficult even if I muted the strings with my palm. The resonance makes other stringed instruments close to it vibrate at the same frequencies.

It seems like it is causing a set of 5th chords which is pretty cool even if it's a malfunction.

@freemo @thor This was the first thing I read and it's the most Ham thing I've read. I would agree with this as both seem to be common problems.

@freemo @lucifargundam @LouisIngenthron Ah yes, just like the beginning of The Grapes of Wrath. I have a bulldozing problem and I am powerless to stop bulldozing. I need a higher power to save me from not bulldozing houses and that higher power is a bank.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo They might have seen the mostly helpless babies and decided to see what happens when they raise them. I believe our brains release similar chemicals as other mammals when caring for an animal. It seems like affection is more likely than finding an animal as cute.

Perhaps this was done by very simple people with animals who were equally special or it could have been the brightest of both species. For cats it was likely manipulation from the start. Dogs would protect their pack.

Perhaps it's like marriage where both parties help when needed but otherwise avoid each other.

With some animals, especially milk producing animals, it can be found in our genetics. For domesticated animals, like the dog, they had a similar mutation that allowed for a diet with more grain. We likely bonded in harsh times and both wear a ball and chain because of our relationship.

I don't know how I feel about what I just wrote but I did write it.

people who specialise in one thing tend to get very good at it. for example, there are graphic designers who do nothing but book covers and are intimately familiar with that visual language and how to apply it effectively.

you almost always want to hire a specialist like that if you want something done on a professional level.

on my part, i know a little about a lot. jack of all trades, master of none, with the exception of software development, which i did for a living until i burned out 3 years ago.

@thor Was the DSP Programming more painful than your day job? I'm asking more about the amount of pain over a short period of time and the general contempt shown by the overlords.

@thor You ever wake up at a desk with several different projects within reach?

world-renowned psychiatrist Russel Barkley: people with ADHD will only change if the environment is changed

me:
- unemployed
- lives alone
- no change for 3 years

i need an external stimulus to get motivated. i know this for a fact, because i've had some small drips of that, and it always makes me super motivated for a week, but since it's only a drip, i shut down again after that.

if i'm going to do anything, i need external reasons, and i have none. i don't have an inner drive to speak of. i literally just kill time all day if left to my own devices.

i literally need someone to show up and get me out of here.

@freemo Transmitting on a military or FAA frequency is one answer that seems to work here.

@Draven I was able to disable it on my device back when Trump was President and I don't regret keeping it off to this very day.
