    Doesn’t hurt to talk to someone about it, maybe you’ve aged out of it, maybe it’s slowly manifesting itself in a different way, there are professionals that can tell the difference.

    Nobody is going to hold a young adult accountable for minor things they did as a child, especially not a psychiatrist. It’s better to get checked when you have the awareness that something night not have been right, because when things are very wrong you won’t have the desire to get checked.




  • In theory it keeps your business card elevated / near the top, and has more volume to be grabbed from.

    I’ve only done it the one time (genuinely), maybe they were giving cookware to everyone from that morning as a show of appreciation or to make them feel special, maybe it was just luck of the draw and I’m batting 1000 in business card raffles, maybe I’m only remembering my successes (I don’t think I am), or maybe it actually worked? The mystery of 100% success makes for the better story, so I deliberately stopped the practice.

    (Also I have a way to always walk out of a casino with more money than you walked in with, not significant life changing amounts of money, but enough for dinner and drinks, but I like to tell people (genuinely) I’ve never walked out of a casino with less than I walked in with, the trick is to go to the concierge desk, tell them it’s your first time there, give them your name and address as verification it’s your first time there, they’ll give you house money, ever time you hit take the money out (it takes from your winnings before taking from the house money), at the end of the night compare how much you walked away with from how much house money they gave you, and that’s how much you’d have been down of your own money, my best is about 90% of the house money I put in as cash in my pocket, me and 3 friends did this and walked out with 150$ from nothing but a little time invested, the “real” gamblers hated being behind us as we checked out dozens of winning slips each)





  • Did you run the line under ground or through conduit? Disconnect it from both sides, attach string/fishing line to one side, pull cable out of conduit on the side without the string attached. Detach string from either meet cable, reattach string with Ethernet cable and the additional cable (speaker cable in this case), pull string from the original side until both cables make their appearance.

    Outside of walkie talkies (have you considered walkie talkie? Maybe put an antenna outside of the shop?) this is the simplest way to do it (imo, but I don’t play with raspberry pi’s)



  • From Amazon, I found “IS543 5/4/3 WIRE INTERCOM STAT-PLAST”

    It’s similar to what we had growing up, 1 in the shed, 1 in the kitchen 1 in the game room, push the button of the location you wanted to talk to, only 1 direction of communication at a time, over.

    I feel like you’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be, why would you involve a switch or processor when you’re just carrying sound waves? You don’t even need a modulator, it just needs to connect a microphone to a speaker like cans on a string. Is it the highest quality? No, will it record your conversation for posterity? Also no. Will it let you tell at someone to get their asses in for dinner, absolutely



  • Feynman, taught me it’s okay to question people, people grow when they’re questioned, and it isn’t wrong to speak up when you don’t know something even if everyone else seems to know that thing, because maybe group think has everyone assuming everybody else knows what’s going on, and that’s when shit can go seriously wrong.






  • Do you watch a lot of v-sauce? There’s a certain argumentative style that he instills in his audience that I’m picking up when reading your comments. There’s a lot of nuance and acceptability outside of the strict definitions that goes into the scientific process (as much as strict adherents don’t like it, science is done when we close those gaps, it isn’t immediate nor absolute)
