I was raised in a cult like religion and escaped it. I must now coexist with some of its believers or it will inevitably result in my homelessness and death.
The only two ways to combat dogmatic tribalism are either from within by infiltration, gaining trust, and leading, or by stimulating general curiosity and self growth in individuals. As a person grows, they will naturally question dogma.
Dogma is totally blind to all information sources from outside of the tribe. No amount of logic or emotions will override the tribal barriers of this collective dogma. In fact, opposition of any kind is a form of caring and serves to reinforce the tribal validity.
The opposite of both love and hate is indifference. If you are anything but indifferent, you are actually making the tribe and individual’s dogma stronger.
You must not care, or openly show resistance. This generally allows you to coexist with the individual outside of their tribal partition. Within this space, you may be able to stimulate a general curiosity that encourages self growth.
No one is able to force another human to learn or grow. Growth only comes from within.
You must also be open to tangibly supporting these people within your personal social support network. The cult’s primary authority comes from the mutually exclusive social support network. Even those that are more open to exiting the cult, are unable to do so as long as they are at a major evolutionary disadvantage of abandoning their personal mutually exclusive social support network.


I think personality compatibility has more to do with that relationship. I have very little emotional empathy, but plenty of cognitive empathy. I do not have narcissism like my parents and I am capable of independent thought and questioning dogma. All of this is totally incompatible with my family.
I don’t talk to my folks because everything is negative feedback and sadism.


I would be impressed if the servos are enough to power it. Skimming through a dozen pages of posts it was just the most interesting thing I spotted to try and post some content in a dead feed lull.


At one point a few years ago, I was following a UC Berkeley CS open course online. Nothing official, just following the lectures and posted stuff. I think it was getting into this subject with a custom version of the schema language. I stopped following along because I could not get a copy of the specific schema version and everything I tried was incompatible with what was taught in the course. Is that a better glue language for stuff like this on an operating system level?


Nutin wrong wit pizza & 6p.
What, – is not nearly as relevant as – how much. I got started halving my weight by playing counterstrike and only eating a single peanut m&m when I felt light headed, like some stupid pedantic self challenge.
May I have both please?
Commodity housing is a crime against humanity.


Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.


Go read Prelude to Foundation asap.



That is all of the main story pieces, in order, from bottom to top.

You really are worth less, as you are older than you were yesterday, and young organs sell for more.
On YT, CHEP is probably one of the best references for basic Ender setup and use.
You are unlikely to have the issue overall, but there is a nonzero chance of having issues with any aluminum extrusions based linear motion system. It is only a serious problem for a single digits percentage of people and the problem is worse on larger printers.
When aluminum extrusions are manufactured, the tolerances of faces are really good. However the one factor that is poorly constrained is twist. The amount is imperceptible without a metrology setup to measure the deviation. In the unlikely chance that you have triple checked every part of your setup, and you are still having issues, keep in mind this is a thing that exists. Try swapping symmetrical components where possible to see if the problem follows the swapped extrusion. This is one of those issues that is nearly impossible to find on your own unless you know to look for it.
If you need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out directly, or post. I’ll help you any way I can. Happy printing!


I have seen a ship and a moose.
They are a real person. You should not say stuff like this.


dam da bears! beaver pita!


So by using a transformer, I think you are essentially lowering the voltage to exchange for current. What I do not understand, assuming that simple assumed relationship is correct, is why it is still at thing people do. Like if we lived in the old days of vacuum tubes or bipolar junction transistors, sure it makes sense that a little more current might help. Now, in the era of rail to rail op amps with JFET inputs, I don’t understand why anyone needs to create the Eddy current losses of a transformer. Maybe it is safety from transients? But then why attenuate… and why not resistively for a more simple RLC element… very curious now…


What are the compact options short of a small wire and palm tree? I could probably etch that length on a couple of a4 size sheets of copper clad from ABC at around my minimum resolvable pitch size.
I’ve never really wrapped my head around impedance in this kind of context to the point of a functional fundamental understanding. I know the basic explanations and definitions well. It is like AC resistance; high impedance means low current potential, aka needs buffering or gain; low impedance is deadly microwave transformers and welding type stuff. I have wound my own I/E core transformers and built a dozen switching supplies, but I do not understand what you mean here by using impedance matching with a transformer. I would like to.
Thanks! This repo’s readme leads to gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. This then references Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus. That is available from the above linked archive.org page.
This is much closer to the real reason I was asking, as this little clock is intended as a primer for understanding object tracking for both astronomical observations and local rocket launches or transits.
