I officially hate prelabs, but multisim is pretty cool.
Also, built a circuit in the lab and it's not working. Someone reminds me we can jam a capacitor across the op-amp's power source into ground to eliminate noise, it goes from an ugly-ass blob to a beautiful sinusoid. Fuck circuitry.
Teletoon detour was good too, so many shows I haven't seen in years

It was on Teletoon that I head the word "fuck" on television uncensored for the first time, while watching some British cartoon called Bromwell High.
One of my favourite scenes from that show is in this video, from 3:55 to 4:12

I do work with industrial control electronics, jamming capacitors across noisy signals is basically all that we do.

When building the circuit, and it wasn't working, I replaced some diodes on it with LEDs just to see what would happen. I discovered my lab kit contains very shitty, weak LEDs. At times, I'd get saturated waveforms with the LEDs before putting the caps in.

It's even better when the filtered circuit looks no different on a scope yet there's a noticeable change in the circuit's behaviour.
Black. Fucking. Magic.
Il neige sur Toronto.
Tabarnak.
Was sur the right word to use, or would dans be better? Can dans be used the same way "in" can in that sentence in English, or does saying "on" make more sense in French? I know saying "It's snowing on Toronto" sounds weird in English, but is it okay in French?
I'm not a native french speaker but I'd use en

En is tricky. It's [i]usually[/i] used for locations, but when you're talking about a city, you use "à", so «il neige à Toronto.»

Sur is used in French exactly like in English: you only use it in cases like "it's snowing on my head", or "on my lawn", or on some other object.
I kinda thought it might be à, but I remembered that's usually "to" and when I thought of it like that the sentence made no sense to me, since it became "It's snowing to Toronto."

Yes, it's weird. Prepositions in French don't have a one-to-one correspondence to English. You really have to learn all of their contexts separately. "à" is "to", "at", or "in", depending on the context. That's why good French teachers will try to teach you to think directly in French, and feel the meaning by relating it to other similar examples you've learned in a similar context, instead of just translating to and from English in your head.

I remember in grade 2 asking the teacher if I could "aller sur l'oridinateur" and being told no cause that would break it.
If I recall "à" is always used when referring to a city/town/province/state. "Au" or "En" are used for nations depending if their names are masculine or feminine.

The same «au/en» rule actually applies to provinces and states too. «à» is only for cities/towns. Also, you use «en» even for a masculine state/province or country if it starts with a vowel. And to make things even more complicated, for masculine states/provinces, you might hear people using «dans le» or «dans l'»; it's an alternate form that's also correct.

Sometimes I wish I'd taken French all through highschool. Then I keep seeing things like this and remembering why I hated French in highschool.
I think I'll still learn it some day, but for now, Japanese.

Are you saying Japanese is easier than French? I can't even...
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;46490445]Are you saying Japanese is easier than French? I can't even...[/QUOTE]
No, I'm not, French is most certainly easier (I have a feeling if I'd started studying it over the summer instead of Japanese then I'd be near fluent already, given that I took French from grade 4 until 10). I'm just planning on going to Japan before I plan on going anywhere unilingually French, running for public office, or applying to a job where being bilingual in both official languages would be an asset.
It's about time to update my Avatar with a Santa hat
Is the avatar thread made yet? heh
I'm not sure, I went out and got a santa hat, so I can just record myself winking again.
I've had a Santa hat since Oct 22.
Constantly annoying everyone by wearing it early.
Remembrance day is over, I'm in full Holiday mode.
I fucking love this time of year
I forgot what temperature it was outside and threw a cup of water out the front door...
Now I made a small patch of ice...
Everything is now covered in snow, it begins.
It snowed, then it rained. Ice storm here we come...
Avatar is ready for christmas
Was your original one that pixellated? I thought the non-christmas one was cleaner.
[QUOTE=Daemon White;46515512]Was your original one that pixellated? I thought the non-christmas one was cleaner.[/QUOTE]
It was, I just made this in like 2 seconds. This one is more pixellated but at a higher framerate.
I'll probably make a better one when I'm not tired

It's been sub-zero for days here. It tries to snow but it's just a very dry cold. Everything has frost and it doesn't go away during the day. I parked my car for a day and a half and there were massive ice crystals forming on the roof and windows.

It cold.
