    I kind of like people surfacing twitter stuff to me here, because twitter is a garbage website with a garbage layout and garbage navigation moderated like garbage, so I never go there myself.

    So I'd miss some stuff I'd otherwise like to see.

    i don't know why we bother having forums

    This is passive aggressive as fuck

    People enjoy sharing things they like with friends on the forums, who may not be on Twitter

    idk why but random twitter links without any context just kinda irritates me for some irrational reason

    There is context

    They are podcast personalities and its the podcast thread

    Noone is forcing you to read them, but other people like them, so... just dont read them

    there are plenty of tweets that get linked that I have no clue what they refer to

    and it kinda sucks! cause it's a big in joke that everyone but me is in on!

    It's a pretty big blanket thread, there's no way everything in here can be for everyone.

    I'm thinking about grabbing a mic, for voice chat and roll20 games and maybe podcasting.
    I'm quitting my job of a decade and some, in april, and moving to place with less concern for waking up neighbors.
    Gonna be studying for school, but should have more time and freedom for online Dnd or whatever.
    I know folk point to blue yeti USB mics as a suggestion.
    I've also heard problems with USB mics in general, what do y'all suggest?

    If you're not planning on doing anything complicated or fancy, a decent USB mic should be fine and the Yeti and Snowball are both fine choices.

    That is an unreasonable request

    No one is going to, or should be expected to, post the history of an in joke for comedy bang bang before posting the joke

    Because the assumption is people who are interested already know it

    It's ok for everything in the thread to not be accessible to everyone because people who loke those things can go seek them out

    It's not the posters job to bring you or anyone else up to date before posting anything

    It's less intense than touching an electric fence but leaves a nasty taste on your tongue. Not really a worthwhile experience

    Clarification: 9-volt, presumably other batteries would be a different experience

    pretty sure some adult told me, when I was a child, that licking a battery is a good way to see if it has any charge left

    I have to imagine it'd be pretty harmless

    I have no point of comparison for this but from how people have made the switch carts sound, I think they probably taste worse, but without the lingering physical sensation you get from literally shocking your tongue

    Well, they're not wrong per se, but "enough charge to feel on your tongue" and "enough charge to power electronics" are not necessarily the same thing so what you really gotta do is get a voltmeter and lick a bunch of batteries at different voltage levels until you can identify the voltage by the intensity of the shock.

    Like iirc the 9v we used for wireless mics stopped being reliable at around 4v and you're definitely still gonna feel that good

    the best non metered test is to drop it on its butt

    If it stands up its got fuel, if not it falls down

    Oh hey, Off-Book stuff:

    Their facebook group hit 1000 members, so they did a live stream that I think probably just ended?

    Also, in addition to their live show with Rachel Bloom, they're doing a live show at San Francisco Sketch Fest with Arden Myrin and John Michael Higgins(!!!!!!!!!!!)

    At my last job my co-worker kept licking batteries no matter how many times I said not to.

    each week the hosts improvise an entire musical with a guest, and it's almost always way better than it has any right to be

    I used to love licking batteries.

    I was also not fed very well back then, and now I wonder if there's a correlation.

    realistically there wasn't enough lead in the solder they were...holding? with their mouths? to cause any real damage, but it's like...hey, maybe don't make putting lead in your mouth a habit, huh?

    ohh like, holding it between their lips? Fuck I've done that--soldering can be finicky and you only got at most two hands. I thought you were talking like, full on ingesting it.
