Fed should keep hiking as faked unemployment numbers are so great. All these layoffs and no one is out of work with the proper math.

This guy is still out there releasing music and touring and that's pretty cool #EddyGrant

I just repaired an inexpensive ice maker by replacing a limit switch. The part only costs around a dollar. A soldering iron and some Rohs silver solder was all that was needed besides wire snips and a Phillips head screwdriver.

Don't be afraid to repair your own electronics and appliances. Do read up on repair and electricity.

It's a shame how much ends up in a landfill. Repairing instead of replacing is something that needs to come back.

I have a job offer tomorrow, my first ever. I've been looking for a job for 3-4 years, and in that time I've built up pretty much every emotion in the emotion wheel on top of the event of "getting a job". My brain is going a bit haywire.

Years of postponing feelings, worries, and problems to 'when I get a job', always thinking that it was something that was just around the corner, are finally catching up to me.

I can't properly process and believe that it's actually happening until I get all the details tomorrow, so part of me is still going 'ah, what if you're feeling all these things and then you end up not *actually* getting the job.

Anyways, send emotional strength and good luck 😅

@AmpBenzScientist i haven't examined exactly what this chip supports in terms of transferring data that isn't audio to or from the codec, which happens via DMA. the experience of programming this thing feels more like a uC with DSP features than programming a pure DSP that can only do stuff like MAC and pseudo-branch instructions.

I wonder how Eastern Europe is. Ukraine sounds like a good place but they will likely crack down on rights gradually after the war. Some would say lawless and corrupt but that's just a way to say freedom for all.

I wonder if someone could die and have an identity in such a place.

my virtual analog synthesiser is getting bigger now, because i'm past the proof of concept phase and fleshing out an architecture for it.
