Yeah that looks good. IMHO, too much vinegar is the key. I suggest modeling in LTSpice

original pressing!

They really nailed that indie alt rock sound that I love so much.

Might just be me, but other than the faces being overdone I think the lighting looks fantastic. That being said, I'm a 5090 owner and play with settings maxed out, so I care more about image quality than most. The new GeForce tech has typically gotten this reception initially, so nothing new from the usual suspects in bitching about it.

Dang! I would at least do the gallon jug thing and then cross my fingers and hope for the best. I had considered the DIY route as well but Tobasco and Franks Red Hot are good enough for me from the store. Plus my kids always buy me hot sauce samplers so I'm always trying something new. Here's something to try 10-15 arbol, 5 guajillo, and 1 ancho peppers - all dried (you can re hydrate or simmer for longer) 2 garlic cloves 1/2 tsps of cumin, pepper, oregano 1 Tbsp of salt - (Salt and vinegar are key to a Tapatio clone) 3/4 - 1 cup vinegar Water to balance the solution so it barely covers the ingredients. However, you should have much more vinegar than water. Simmer for a LONG time. 15-30 mins. Blend and run through a mesh to pick up any dried bits of pepper.

Yellowbird Jalapeño is my go-to hot sauce at home, but I always look for Tapatío at restaurants. As mentioned, DIY is probably your best option. Sorry to hear that — everyone needs at least one vice. I have too many to mention.

I feel ya. My personal tastes are much more varied, but...I get it. Sometimes, there is just nothing else like it. Condolences/sympathies.

Even this guy gets the role.

Yumi was out of town for 8 days last week. I guess the cats were so lonely they started bonding (they are from the same litter - 2018). This never happens!

Calling him a cunt is too kind. RIP Bob Mueller

Which president would you respect more? What a fucking cunt. The second one, to be clear. Note: Brent's image won't load for me, so this may be partly repetitive.

Multiple on both accounts... I might have a bit of a hoarding issue...

or maybe this one

maybe you have Halo Acoustics EH-1 ?

This is how I found out Robert Mueller died today.

DIY is the way!

Spoiler alert!

Now that was a race! Pogi! What a beast.

This is my personal apocalypse. I don't drink booze, I don't smoke or vape. Weed makes me paranoid and miserable (edibles make me trip balls in addition to being paranoid and miserable.) I sure as fuck don't mess with any powder or pill drugs. While I am a believer and advocate of the use of natural psychedelics for purposes of therapy and personal growth, I'd never do them recreationally. Tapatio is my one drug. Long term listeners may recall when I told the tale of driving to a Walmart Black Citadel Super Center in W.Mass to buy them out of Tapatio. I've done that two other time, but not photographed it. I did the math once and I went through ten 32oz bottles in 2 1/2 years, or about four per year. I've had dozens of other brands of hot sauces. Many are weak, some are insanely spicy (extracts are just dumb), and most taste rather bad. Tapatio isn't the hottest of the widely available brands, but it's the best balance of heat and flavor. Vulture capital is the ruiner of all things good. I fully expect Tapatio to turn into something on par with Frank's Red Hot in the next six months. I posted in the hot sauce subreddit and already people are panic buying. I'm seriously considering buying a box of four one-gallon jugs and a pump (usually sold to the restaurant market.) This is a nightmare.

Happy birthday! I miss that particular hangout. 🍺

Yes, dual opamp seems to be the way to go. Only changes to the old board are added opa445, opto coupler and three resistors to each bias servo. All operating point unchanged. So, I didn’t follow Kevin’s suggested servo in full. Now the new CFA3smd has been in service a week and I’ve made a few changes to the servos. Increased gain of opamp, increased current through the bias set trimmer and omitted opto coupler. Diagram shows the behavior for servo with and without opto coupler. I also added 7K and 1K resistors (to simulate R36 and RV2, see Kevin’s schematics) and got the yellow (opto+resistor) curve. Schematic showing the final (for now) servo.

^Got a nice thermos bottle with NASA gravity fed flow technology engraved with the logo of my local bike shop / brew pub. 👍🏻

Not late, for those on the Best Coast! Happy Birthday, Al! Hope you get lots of bike stuff!

Sorry to be late to the thread. Happiest of birthdays, Al. You're the best, man.
