This is a truly beautiful picture and sentiment which has set my weary soul at ease, thank you.

I don’t doubt you or the people. Please don’t shoot the messenger, but the image that I see is more like economic possession. I don’t see any Afghanistan style occupation or conflict, but rather economic control by proxy and that there are those amongst your people that will sell the rest of you out. The aristocrat class will remain as usual and they will align with US interest. I hope I am wrong because I prefer a world where power is balanced as much as possible.

I don’t either, it’s totally rational response. I feel sorry for Canadians too because they are powerless, and also because I unironically, sincerely, not-trying-to-be-an-edgelord believe that they will become a property of the US in the future.

I been playing >30 years. You DO NOT have to create music that has ANY commercial value.

I was happy to play whatever I want all this time. I am dope, I do not need any confirmation from anyone.

If I play a song you like, you will say I am good. If I play something you don’t like, you will say I am bad.

I will not change what I am doing to make money off it. That’s it.

Play what you want. I encourage you to create a new style of music, what could be greater as a musician?

Intel would be an example of a chipmaker that should fail but they won’t let it because it’s also an unofficial asset. It will literally never fail no matter how backward it gets and they have been backward for decades.

Do me a favor and practice what you preach.

The key is that you persist. I call it survival or I like to say, despite whatever is going on, “yet I still persist”. Finding new and different reasons to help you maintain this persistence are also very important. Stay here don’t leave. That’s it.

Made the right choice BTW, stay strong.

I don’t listen to or follow any of the sources on the chart, and I don’t like politics. That said, as a passerby I thought it was an interesting chart. One thing I thought about, the legacy media that is highly manipulated in my opinion is dominated by so-called left and the pseudo independent in my opinion voices in red on the chart are dominated by so-called right.

I believe most people no longer trust the legacy media and are turning to just about anything else as an alternative.

I think most people mistakenly think that some of these voices in red are independent of or not affected by persuasion, coercion, other. Some of these voices in red are also potentially literal government agents.

All that said, I also find it interesting that there are not more blue dots: pseudo independent so-called left voices.

Does this mean that the so-called left audience is captive to the legacy media? And/or does this mean that the so-called left audience does not trust independent voices?

I will check some of the comments to the original post to see if anybody has thoughts on that.

Anyways, thanks for your time.

Thank you, will check this out.

Thank you, perhaps it is the CMRR that I need to explore? Perhaps this explains the noise floor difference? Thank you.

Thank you, yes I specifically saw a breakdown in my sin wave at ~60 kHz on ua741, and NE5532 got to ~650 kHz before I saw distortion. I thought that was awesome. I will study the layouts as you suggested. Any other advice? Does this also explain the noise floor difference or no?

I will check this out, thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much for your advice, I will follow.

Awesome, yes can just do the chemical outside if volume is small and time is fast. I see there a number of how to, thank you for the inspiration, I will be trying this for sure.

Okay, I will also spend time here, please let me know any advice for newbies. Thank you for your consideration.

I am open to try this because it appeals to my sensibility. Do you have any advice to get started because I am interested and will try this if it is feasible in my garage environment? I am serious. What are the minimum materials needed/must-have requirements? I am down for this shit.

I have a laser jet printer, what kind of ventilation are we talking for the chemical? I have fume extractor on my soldering station,

Okay, I am going to spend time with this then, please let me know any advice for beginners. Thank you so much.

Me too brother, amen. I use it on my bicycles.

Great job exploring your feelings! You are a superstar!
