Queen levitates to z-axis + 1

This photo confused my brain, which initially thought it was a green screen wall with trees projected onto the upper half as if looking through a VR headset.

Maybe I need to go and touch some grass.

Don’t forget the 300-comment-long “+1” feature request chains

Ah nice, you’re GPIO to generate tones with PWM. Very cool!

Great to hear you got it sorted! May I ask out of curiosity which library you are using to play sounds?

[–] Vector@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It should be possible, but the answer is going to depend on your implementation, what libraries you are using, and so on.

For example, if the play sound action is synchronous, then maybe you could start it up in another thread, and interrupt that thread if you want to cancel the sound.

If it’s asynchronous, maybe you need to retain a reference to the sound object and then invoke a stop() call when the other button is pressed.

Standard shitpost and then out of nowhere “Hello inject me with beans please”

WHY IS IT SO FUNNY

On “we as people can perceive imperial temperatures a lot better than metric,” I’d agree to disagree here - Celsius is pretty straight-forward. Temperate is temperature, it’s just about what numbers you’re assigning to which temperatures.

0°C is when water freezes, and 100°C is when water boils. A 10°C day is cold, a 20°C day is mild, a 30°C day is hot, and a 40°C day is when you melt.

Whatever you grew up with is probably what is going to be easiest for you to comprehend, but Celsius is no more difficult or less perceptible, just a different value range.

According to Elizabeth Bergman, an associate professor of political science at Cal State East Bay, the outside money is evidence of the toss-up nature of the race, and the way politics has been played since the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) decision, which knocked down limits on corporate campaign spending. Such independent expenditures are often made without the knowledge or consent of a particular candidate.

“They don’t just throw their money around willy-nilly – they make good, astute investments,” Bergman said. “This one makes particular sense to me because it’s effectively an open seat.”

Ten years ago I’d say “wtf” but then I had ube keso (purple yam and cheese) ice cream. I don’t understand why it is not awful and is in fact delicious, and now I think the only valid way to judge an ice cream flavor (within reason) is to ignore the list of contents and just taste it.
