And give their first impressions of the Mircea Cărtărescu novel, “Solenoid”.Music by Johnny Hawaii.
Solenoid is a novel by Romanian novelist, essayist and poet Mircea Cărtărescu. A bizarre work of alternate-timeline autobiography, Solenoid is the diary of M.C., and details his attempts to escape from his life through dream magic, hypercube contemplation, scabies-mite transfiguration, solenoid levitation, tuberculosis recuperation, and much, much more. It's a truly dizzying, high-dimensional novel.Here to help me (Jack) talk about Solenoid is professional Romanian Alexandru Constantin of the Black Ibis Social Club on Substack.Alex's Various Projects:Deceneus Journal/Black Ibis Social Club: https://deceneus.substack.com/Insect Songs: https://insectsongs.substack.com/Telios Music: https://teliosmusic.substack.com/VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi
For our solenoid driver, we have individual transistors for driving each output, which means that we need to protect them with flyback diodes. The important things we need for a flyback diode are to handle the maximum reverse voltage (30V or so) and be fast—there is a peak current of an amp or so, but it's near-instantaneous, so we're not as worried about continuous current. We'll also need 8, so let's make sure they're not too expensive!

Wrapping up last year with display and LED PCB projects, including GC9A01A round display protos and Sparkle Motion boards. Solenoid driver testing underway, fixing WLED/mic interference. Great Search: Picking SOD-323 flyback diodes for solenoids, balancing specs and cost.
In this episode of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast, host Suzan Chin-Taylor speaks with Chad Morin, co-owner of Gould Solenoid Valves, a fourth-generation family business with nearly 75 years of experience. Together, they explore the critical role of solenoid valves in wastewater and industrial operations and discuss how small investments in quality can save significant downtime costs.
La Iași este în plină desfășurare Festivalul Internațional de Literatură și Traducere (FILIT). O secțiune specială a acestui festival este dedicată, de la prima ediție, traducătorilor. Mai ales celor din literatura română în alte limbi. Pentru că ei sînt adevărați ambasadori ai cărților autorilor români în străinătate. Vorbim în această ediție cu doi dintre ei: Lora Nenkovska, din Bulgaria, și Sean Cotter, din Statele Unite ale Americii. Lora Nenkovska predă limba și literatura română la Universitatea din Sofia și a tradus în limba bulgară din autori precum: Max Blecher, Dan Lungu, Simona Popescu, Claudiu Komartin, Andreea Răsuceanu, Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu. Sean Cotter predă studii de literatură și traducere la Universitatea Texas din Dallas. A tradus din opera mai multor autori români, între care Nichita Stănescu, Mateiu Caragiale, Magda Cârneci, Mircea Cărtărescu. A cîștigat împreună cu Mircea Cărtărescu Dublin Literary Award pentru romanul „Solenoid”. Și recent, i-a apărut în limba română volumul „Traducerea literară și destinul României în Comunism”, în traducerea Danei Bădulescu, la Humanitas.

Auf dem CUTS-Discord ging es, was diesen Film betrifft, in den letzten Wochen hoch her. Für einige der beste Film des Jahres, für andere der schlimmste Müll, den sie seit langem gesehen haben, auch wenn er in der breiten Öffentlichkeit eher positiv weggekommen ist. In dieser Folge schaut sich das Arabella Wintermayr zusammen mit Antje Wessels (Kino+) und Sophia Derda (Filmrauschpalast) nochmal genauer an. Was erzählt Coralie Fargeats "The Substance" über Schonheitsstandards, macht er das zu unsubtil und wieso sollte das überhaupt ein Problem sein?

An afternoon with a piano tuner I recently played in an orchestra, as a violinist accompanying a piano soloist who was playing a concerto. My 'stand partner' (the person I was sitting next to) has a day job as a piano tuner. I loved the rehearsal, and heard nothing at all wrong with the piano, but immediately afterwards, the conductor and piano soloist hurried over to the piano tuner and asked if he could tune the piano in the hours before the concert that evening. Annoyed at the presumptuous request, he quoted them his exorbitant Sunday rate, which they hastily agreed to pay. I just stood there, confused. (I'm really good at noticing when things are out of tune. Rather than beat my chest about it, I'll just hope you'll take my word for it that my pitch discrimination skills are definitely not the issue here. The point is, as developed as my skills are, there is a whole other level of discernment you can develop if you're a career piano soloist or 80-year-old conductor.) I asked to sit with my new friend the piano tuner while he worked, to satisfy my curiosity. I expected to sit quietly, but to my surprise he seemed to want to show off to me, and talked me through what the problem was and how to fix it. For the unfamiliar, most keys on the piano cause a hammer to strike three strings at once, all tuned to the same pitch. This provides a richer, louder sound. In a badly out-of-tune piano, pressing a single key will result in three very different pitches. In an in-tune piano, it just sounds like a single sound. Piano notes can be out of tune with each other, but they can also be out of tune with themselves. Additionally, in order to solve 'God's prank on musicians' (where He cruelly rigged the structure of reality such that (32)n2m for any integers n, m but IT'S SO CLOSE CMON MAN ) some intervals must be tuned very slightly sharp on the piano, so that after 11 stacked 'equal-tempered' 5ths, each of them 1/50th of a semitone sharp, we arrive back at a perfect octave multiple of the original frequency. I knew all this, but the keys really did sound in tune with themselves and with each other! It sounded really nicely in tune! (For a piano). "Hear how it rolls over?" The piano tuner raised an eyebrow and said "listen again" and pressed a single key, his other hand miming a soaring bird. "Hear how it rolls over?" He was right. Just at the beginning of the note, there was a slight 'flange' sound which quickly disappeared as the note was held. It wasn't really audible repeated 'beating' - the pitches were too close for that. It was the beginning of one very long slow beat, most obvious when the higher frequency overtones were at their greatest amplitudes, i.e. during the attack of the note. So the piano's notes were in tune with each other, kinda, on average, and the notes were mostly in tune with themselves, but some had tiny deviations leading to the piano having a poor sound. "Are any of these notes brighter than others?" That wasn't all. He played a scale and said "how do the notes sound?" I had no idea. Like a normal, in-tune piano?

Acum cîteva zile, cei de la editura Impedimenta din Madrid anunțau că toamna lor literară va începe cu publicarea masivului roman al lui Mircea Cărtărescu, „Theodoros”. Invitata acestei ediții este Marian Ochoa de Eribe, traducătoarea în limba spaniolă nu doar a romanului „Theodoros”, ci a aproape întregii opere ficționale a lui Mircea Cărtărescu, de la volumul de povestiri „Nostalgia” la varianta în proză a poemului „Levantul”, de la trilogia „Orbitor” la romanele „Travesti” și „Solenoid”. De asemenea, Marian Ochoa de Eribe a tradus și din opera altor autori români contemporani: Gabriela Adameșteanu, Tatiana Țîbuleac, Valentina Șcerbani. Vorbim despre aceste traduceri și despre entuziasmul cu care au fost receptate în spațiul de limbă spaniolă, care cuprinde nu doar Spania, ci și un vast teritoriu din America de Sud. Marian Ochoa de Eribe: „Cînd am tradus Theodoros, a fost o mare bucurie. A fost ca-ntr-un fel de parc de atracții, pentru copii. Mă plimbam pe acolo ca și cum aș fi vorbit cu Cervantes, care n-a scris doar Don Quijote de la Mancha, ci și nuvele bizantine, care se petrec într-o atmosferă foarte asemănătoare cu cea reprodusă în Theodoros, cu pirați, cu sechestre, cu insule, cu lupte. Am avut ocazia să trăiesc în lumea lui Cervantes și în lumea lui Cărtărescu în același timp. (...) A fost un fel de joacă mirifică: am intrat în lumea lui Theodoros și m-am plimbat pe-acolo de mînă cu Cervantes. Dar nu pot să neg că a fost o muncă titanică.”„Theodoros” a apărut la finalul lui 2022 și, după un an și cîteva luni, e gata deja traducerea în spaniolă. Ce presupune munca la un astfel de roman masiv și sofisticat?Marian Ochoa de Eribe: „Un traducător are nevoie de disciplină, capacitate de muncă și capacitate de sacrificiu, într-un fel. Eu, de exemplu, sacrific foarte mult timp liber ca să citesc și să recitesc fiecare manuscris de mai multe ori. Cred că Solenoid l-am citit de opt ori și cred că tot cam așa am făcut cu Theodoros. Citesc cartea pînă nu mai vreau să mut nici o virgulă.”Traducătoarea vorbește și despre pasiunea ei pentru literatura română și cărțile pe care le traduce, cărți foarte iubite de publicul de limbă spaniolă.Marian Ochoa de Eribe: „Succesul traducerilor mele este succesul literaturii române. Pentru mine este un motiv de bucurie imensă să fac ceva pentru această țară la care țin atît de mult.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu Un produs Radio România Cultural

This is: Things Solenoid Narrates, published by Solenoid Entity on April 13, 2024 on LessWrong. I spend a lot of time narrating various bits of EA/longtermist writing.

I expect non-celebrity[3] human narration to be essentially redundant within 1-2 years. AI narration has some huge advantages too, there's no denying it. Probably this is a good thing. I dance around it here.

LIVE! From City Lights celebrates author Mircea Cărtărescu and his latest publication, “Solenoid.” Grounded in the reality of late 1970s/early 1980s Communist Romania, Solenoid ruminates on the exchange possible between the alternate dimensions of life and art, as various, monstrous dimensions erupt within the Communist present. Mircea Cărtărescu is a Romanian novelist, poet, short-story writer, literary critic, and essayist. He has published more than twenty-five books. His work has received the Formentor Prize (2018), the Thomas Mann Prize (2018), the Austrian State Prize for Literature (2015), and the Vilenica Prize (2011), among many others. His work has been translated in twenty-three languages. His novels include “Blinding” (published by Archipelago Books,) “Nostalgia” (published by New Directions) and “Solenoid” (published by Deep Vellum.) You can purchase copies of “Solenoid” directly from City Lights here: https://citylights.com/solenoid-tr-sean-cotter/ This was a virtual event hosted by Peter Maravelis, in conjunction with Deep Vellum and the Romanian Cultural Institute, and made possible by support from the City Lights Foundation: citylights.com/foundation.

All new LessWrong posts will be available as AI narrations (for the next few weeks). You might have noticed the same feature recently on the EA Forum, where it is now an ongoing feature. Users there have provided excellent feedback and suggestions so far, and your feedback on this pilot will allow further improvements. How to Access: On Post Pages: Click the speaker icon to listen to the AI narration. Podcast Feeds: The existing "LessWrong Curated" podcast feed will host Curated posts and those with over 125 karma. The new "LessWrong (All Audio)" feed features all posts with over 30 karma. (Spotify), (Apple Podcasts) (RSS/Other) Perrin Walker (AKA Solenoid Entity) of TYPE III AUDIO will continue narrating selected curated posts for now. Send us your feedback. Please send us your feedback! This is an experiment, and the software is improved and updated daily based on user feedback. You could share what you find most useful, what's annoying, bugged or difficult to understand, how this compares to human narration, and what additional features you'd like to see. For comments on a specific narration, use the feedback button on the audio player or visit t3a.is. For general feedback or suggestions, please comment on this post or email us at lesswrong@type3.audio. Writers interested in having their work narrated or requesting a particular narration, please contact team@type3.audio. Is this just text-to-speech on posts? It's an improvement on that. We spoke with the Nonlinear Library team about their listeners' most-requested upgrades, and we hope our AI narrations will be clearer and more engaging than unimproved TTS. Some specific improvements: Audio notes to indicate headings, lists, images, etc. Image alt-text is narrated. Specialist terminology, acronyms and idioms are handled gracefully. Footnotes too. LaTeX math notation handled gracefully in all cases and narrated in some simple cases. We skip reading out long URLs, academic citations, and other things that you probably don't want to listen to. Episode descriptions include a link to the original post. According to Nonlinear, this is their most common feature request! More podcast feed options. We'd like to thank Kat Woods and the team at Nonlinear Library for their work, and for giving us helpful advice on this project. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Reflective journal entries using GPT-4 and Obsidian that demand less willpower., published by Solenoid Entity on April 15, 2023 on LessWrong. Something I've wanted to do for years, but can't make myself do consistently because I'm bad at forming new habits and seem to have a limited reservoir of willpower that is generally depleted by the end of the day: Write a short journal entry at the end of every day, summarizing the day and reflecting on it. Put this in Obsidian, and identify key concepts and make them back-links. Enjoy as, over several years of consistent writing, the map of my life unfolds through the graph in Obsidian. Maybe this generates helpful insights, shows me patterns. Mostly it's just useful as a resource. It's a lot of effort to be detailed and reflective, and it's a lot of effort to add the back-links. The solution: Rather than having to create a detailed, reflective entry from whole cloth, I can just write some short, abbreviated, incoherent mumbled paragraph, like a surly teenager at family dinner, and then ask ChatGPT to ask more questions to flesh out the story. This works shockingly well. It's surprisingly easy to write detailed answers to specific QUESTIONS about your day. It's like a good listener, it can draw you out with its insightful questions. Then you can ask it to mark all the key words, names, etc, with double square brackets. The end result isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and much, much better than I would ever do all by myself. It takes less than half the time and virtually no willpower. Here's what I prompted ChatGPT today (That diary entry is roughly the level of writing I'm capable of at the end of the day.) Ask me 10 questions about the following diary entry, aiming to 'flesh it out' with extra details. If there are inconsistencies or missing information/context, you can ask for clarification or further information. Your aim is to ask questions that help make this a more complete and coherent account of the day. Some of the questions should relate to the theme of 'gratitude', and help provide more context and identify things to be grateful about in the text. Here's the text:Woke up early for no reason, lay in bed for 20 minutes thinking, then got up, said goodbye to Xena, headed off at around 7am for the train up to Waitara. Ended up missing the stupid thing because I was waiting on the wrong platform like an idiot. Still got to coffee in time with Adele, which was a relief since I've been an unreliable friend recently. Good coffee with her, turns out the guy who owns the cafe knows her as a regular and she doesn't even have to order, he just brings her french toast as soon as he sees her sit down. Anyway we talked about her new startup, then I left and caught up with my friend who's building a paperclip-optimising machine, which sounds stressful for him tbh, but his new girlfriend is nice, they seem like a good match. Got the late train over to Emu Plains and finally got to see my parents. Hopefully cook something nice with Mum tomorrow before she goes to line-dancing club. Response: My continuation: 1. She's my friend from a long time ago, but she's been super busy with her job as a warrior princess and doesn't have much time for friends. I was there the night before to have dinner and drinks because she finally got a week off work, ended up having more drinks than planned. Her couch was not very comfortable which is probably why I woke up early. 2. Really annoyed with myself, it was such an avoidable mistake. Honestly, it was pretty positive because I was only 10 minutes late, and Adele was running late anyway. I was able to find a good alternative train route using the app, so it worked out ok. 3. We try to have a phone call every couple of weeks, but it's hard because her life is so unpredictable what with the record d...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Repugnant levels of violins, published by Solenoid Entity on April 12, 2023 on LessWrong. This is a rambling post about the repugnant conclusion, mass-manufacturing, metis and woo, and the fragility of expert discernment — through the lens of my experiences playing, repairing, and selling violins. (And eating discount sushi.) Epistemic status: Discussing utilitarianism-related issues that I'm poorly educated on. (Through the lens of violins, on which I fare much better.) Come for the interesting violin stuff, (don't stay for the philosophy unless you want to watch me repeatedly hitting myself on the head.) If you work in a violin shop, answering the question "how much should I spend on a violin for my child" is hard to do without revealing that you're a huge nerd. Playing violin is great. It's the most important instrument. Teaching it is a challenge. How do you help someone progress from playing like 'oh no' girl to, like, 'wow, she's only three?!' to a really, really good college graduate to being literally Jascha Heifetz? And more fundamentally: what makes Jascha Heifetz sound so damn good, and how did he get there? I think if you zoom out far enough, there are three interlinked factors at play in a violinist's ✨ sound ✨: What does their technical ability facilitate them doing, restrict them from doing, and what does it lead them towards doing? This comprises all of their movement-based competencies, the 'muscle-memory' they develop, the actual physical mechanics of how, through decades of intensive practice, their body has perfectly exapted the violin as the physical part of their aural proprioception. What are the bounds of their audiation? This is their musical creativity and imagination, the sound they hear in their head when they imagine playing. It's the mental and emotional component of their aural proprioception. Even though classical violinists are playing music written by someone else, there's creativity and emotion in their interpretation. Compare this, this, this, this, and this. Just like developing your own writing style, some of this you get from listening to other violinists play. Some of it you generate yourself through your own practice. Do they have a good instrument? Some violins sound better than others. The best violins in the world are prized (partly) for their unique, beautiful voices. Violins are usually made of wood (normally spruce and maple), and even now are almost all handmade to some extent (with more and more machine assistance for mass-produced ones). Very small differences between instruments make a big difference in sound quality. The craft of making really great violins is shrouded in centuries of metis and woo. There'll be a whole post on this, at some point, but suffice it to say that the people who make amazing violins, today, don't even themselves know precisely how they do it, and they contradict each other and themselves constantly. They sure do make them, though. Just take my word for it that a good violin matters, a lot. The above implies six one-way interactions between the factors. For this post, I just want you to take my word on three of them (keeping in mind they're part of this ever-pushing-pulling triangle): Having a good violin helps you to develop your audiation. Having a bad violin makes it hard to develop good technique. (And the obvious) Better violins just produce better sound for any given input. A good player can make a bad violin sound good, up to a point. At a certain point, a good player needs a good violin in order to improve their technique and audiation. Like how your skill as a race-car driver is sorta independent of the car you drive, BUT at a certain point you're going to need a Formula-1 car to compete at the top level, AND you won't even develop the skillset to drive a car like that if you've ne...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The UBI dystopia: a glimpse into the future via present-day abuses, published by Solenoid Entity on April 12, 2023 on LessWrong. Disclaimer: This does risk being a little culture-war-adjacent. This is more political than I normally see on LessWrong, but the spirit of it is intended to be less "Smash Capitalism" or "Become Ungovernable" and more "look at these things that are happening in Australia." Inspired by: Basic Income, Not Basic Jobs: Against Hijacking Utopia, SSC Gives A Graduation Speech. Summary Some bad things are happening today to people who depend on the government for money. This suggests that similar bad things could happen in the future if more people depend on the government for money. If you're an advocate for UBI, or it's a linchpin in your plan for how we'll live well post-AI, it's important to consider two connected worries carefully: Creating the scheme as truly universal (and keeping it that way) may be politically untenable in a democracy. In many likely worlds, some people will depend on this non-universal UBI for survival, leaving them vulnerable to coercive control and arbitrary punishment by the government (lawfully), government officials (unlawfully), even corrupt bureaucrats. Worries along the lines of "UBI could make us all serfs" and various techno-futuristic dystopian visions are already common enough. There's also a growing part of journalism/civil society/activism concerned with an industry that "farms the unemployed" — billing the government for services it ostensibly provides to poor people, while in fact spending their time on coercive control and a moralistic form of discipline. A "digital poorhouse" per Virginia Eubanks. I think the average LW reader has also probably heard worries about Government Issued Digital Currency (GIDC), which is certainly part of the concern here. Others have expressed worry about payment processors and banks being politically manipulated. But I think many people here are less familiar with arguments about problems within the social welfare system that already exist today. These problems are suggestive to me that, absent a change in the culture of these institutions, a UBI might lead to serious abuses. After listing some reasons it might be hard to actually make an actual universal policy, or 'make it an inalienable human right', etc., I then briefly survey some of the abuses of welfare recipients that have recently occurred in Australia, due to the ability of the government, public servants, and employees of private companies to 'turn off the tap' on their money. Two main problems 1. You probably can't make it universal, and you probably can't keep it that way. The most compact way to pump this intuition is to imagine a caricature of a political debate, where a outrage-stoking populist politician is tearing shreds off a nervously stammering, principled, liberal, establishment centrist candidate. Are you seriously proposing to give access to our hard earned tax dollars to migrants? Refugees? Oh, you're not? How can we trust you on this? So you'll demand government-issued photo-ID and proof of citizenship for people signing up? Ok, what about convicted terrorists? What about people (accused of) traveling abroad to join terrorist organizations (accused by members of the government or security agencies without a trial)? What about 'terrorist sympathizers?'We won't be giving it to convicted felons, though, right? Oh we ARE? But not while they're in prison, right? And obviously child sex offenders are barred from the UBI for life, right?What about people who refuse to get vaccinated or vaccinate their children? What about people who take part in unpopular protests?What about draft-dodgers? Taxpayers would be paying for them to sit on their behinds while everyone else who gets conscripted does their duty a...

Great friend of the show Michael Box joins the program again for an update on all things Sustainable Village. Michael gives us an update on his bottomless pot tech, and how the team is still dialing in cap mats to work with this interesting plug and play soil bed style. This leads to a conversation about new BluMat technology, where they are allowing the carrots to trigger a circuit to activate a solenoid switch- allowing for a high outflow of water for irrigation... Michael discusses the new irrometers available on his website, and how they differ from a traditional hygrometer - being far more accurate at measuring actual soil water tension, but also far more delicate and frail. Finally Michael also gives us a little history lesson when it comes to the BluMat system, and highlights a story where the owners visited his headquarters all the way from Austria! *Code GROWCAST is now LIVE AGAIN for a LIMITED TIME at www.sustainablevillage.com - grab yourself a Blumat now while they're on sale, use code GROWCAST for 10% off!* *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about pilot controls. He talks about the old-school ignition systems on gas appliances and some similar pilot functions on residential A/C units and heat pumps. When we think about a pilot light on a gas appliance, we can think of it as a small standing flame that sits there ready to ignite the burner whenever gas is flowing. Pilot lights were necessary for old-school gas furnaces, and many of those pilot lights worked with a thermocouple. In many older furnaces, pilots also prevent excessive carbon monoxide from unspent gas. In other words, the pilot is not the main burner; it merely sets up the main burner. On a typical A/C system, the 24v power is similar to a pilot on a gas appliance; the 24v “pilot” control energizes the system and has a small amount of voltage (compared to the high voltage needed for all of the components to work). The reversing valve on heat pumps also has a pilot valve; the 24v signal activates the pilot valve with the solenoid, which redirects system pressure to allow discharge gas to slide the valve. That's also why you can't shift the operating mode when the system is off. Solenoid valves in general tend to have pilot functions; they rely on a refrigerant pressure differential that results from 24v electrical signals, not the signal itself. In short, we don't rely on the pilot light or the 24v electrical signal to power the entire equipment. Pilot controls merely help the equipment get started; they have less load on them and trigger or control parts and processes that are more complicated.

We talk about more characters and moments in the cyberpunk epic, Gunnm, including a very supernatural dude who uses psychometry. Plenty of coil guns and stone tape theory talk in this one. skip summary @5:00 and remember, BLM always and forever. Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com 072: Battle Angel Alita vol. 7 Chapters 36 to 41 “The Grounding” and “Dual Man” By Yukito Kishiro Translation by Stephen Paul Lettering by Scott Brown The Cyborg Alita leaves her love at his fishing town of Al Hambra so that she can continue her journey as a TUNED agent. She promises to return but her quest to find the villain Nova is what drives her. Alita gains a new TUNED operator, the Zalemite Lou Collins, who provides intel and help for Alita. When attacked by ninjas Alita is helped by the drone known as Gabriel. And one of the dying ninjas streams a video to Alita. Through the ninja, Nova says that in order to find him Alita must find Den of Barjack first. Den happens to be a gargantuan cyborg terrorist, who intends to attack the city of Zalem. Meanwhile Alita saves a young girl from a gang of bandits, the girl is non other than Koyomi, the baby Alita saved years ago, Koyomi is now a proud owner of a familiar cyborg dog as she journeys to find a radio host called Kaos. She gives Alita much insight into the scrapyard and what her past friends have been doing. And although Alita works for Zalem she regards the scrapyard as her home. Soon afterwards they are swallowed into a sinkhole, Alita saves Koyomi from drowning but damages her lungs in the process. When Alita wakes, she finds that she has no connection to Collins, that Kaos has saved her and has also fallen in love with her. Kaos can only speak using radio waves and so one must use a receiver to understand him, but Kaos also has the unique power of telemetry and through touch he can see the memories and emotions of a person's past. Kaos tells Alita that her real name is Yoko and that his father is Nova. On their way to Nova, they are pre-emptively stopped by Den. Den wants Kaos to surrender Alita and pledge his loyalty to Barjack. Alita chooses to fight Den whilst Kaos escapes. The fight is in favour of Den until Collins links back online to Alita and air drops the Solenoid Quench Gun. Koyomi, who is upset by Kaos' obsession with Alita, is swayed over Den's words of rebellion against Zalem. Reunited with her dog, she sides with the crippled Den and Alita decides to spare Den's life so to catch up with Kaos. Eventually a rainstorm begins and Alita reaches Kaos to find him digitally possessed by Den, Den already having a transmitter implanted into him. Den fights Alita once again. Topics: Alita's introspective moment and epiphany. Yasmin as a tragic figure. First impressions The Kaos character Koyomi Other references: Al Hambra translates to “the red one” and implies that the war chronicle arc is set in California. The real-life city of Al hambra is eight miles from Los Angeles. Aztec Sun God, Telemetry (a.k.a. “stone tape theory” or “psychometry” or “pscychoscopy”) the stone tape term came from parapsychologist T.C. Leftbridge. Joseph rodes Buchanan coined the word Psychometry and describes as such that “The Past is entombed in the Present! The world is its own enduring monument; and that which is true of its physical, is likewise true of its mental career. The discoveries of Psychometry will enable us to explore the history of man, as those of geology enable us to explore the history of the earth.” EPR paradox The drone “Gabriel” is a biblical reference. The "BFG trope", shown with the Solenoid Quench Gun. This acts as a coil gun or a rail cannon, The word Solenoid implies that it is an electrically charged coil. Whereas a rail cannon specifically would use rails. It's also the type of weapon that is seen (if somewhat fantastically) in the videogames Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 3. Demolition Ranch have a video on using a rail gun. Technically the Large Hadron Collider itself is a coil gun. For more info you can always check out this video from Hacksmith Industries.

Season 2 Episode 6910/11/21We tweaked a few things in the rig. We had a water leak whilst hooked up to city water. I thought there was a loose connection somewhere. Actually the line coming into the rig was kinked and the back pressure caused it. I took off the line straightened it out and viola fixed. Also, we installed curtains in the bedroom. Wow what a great upgrade. Heres a video showing the curtains https://youtu.be/D5Y5zNK4CzI We have stayed at almost 100 Boondockers Welcome locations for over 200 nights and 16 Harvest Hosts. Heres a link to discounts on those memberships https://relaxrv.org/discounts-to-help-lower-your-stress/ So on October 1st 2021 we pulled out of our driveway and headed north west to another boondockers welcome location about a half hour outside of Syracuse New York. We pulled in our host met us helped us get set up and we engaged in nice conversations. While I was talking to her I heard a crash inside the RV I looked at our house and I said I think Trish just dropped the coffee pot. She did. So we had plans on heading to a local park to do some hiking but instead we decided to go buy a coffee pot at Walmart near Syracuse. Then we went to Green lakes State Park and did a phenomenal hike around their green lakes. And the reason we were up here was to do the Big East powersports show at the State fairgrounds in Syracuse. The show was focused on snowmobiles. Back in February we ordered a 2022 skidoo 2 up sled. And we have concerns of when it's going to be delivered because of Chip shortage. So we headed over we actually got to sit on the sled that we ordered. And this really wetted our appetite. While walking around the show we saw a guy selling Garmin GPS's with preloaded snowmobile maps of the Northeast. We talked to him about price and then we went and looked at the GPS we had selected on Amazon and also the maps of the Northeast that I've been waiting to purchase. Buying the GPS and maps through his company https://netrailgps.com/ was phenomenally priced.We were told by a Skidoo rep that the dealers have received a list of delivery dates on some sleds. So we contacted our dealer and he said we are on the list for a November delivery. We are hoping that the sled comes in complete with all chips gadgets lights everything.The next day we decided to walk around the city of Syracuse and in less than an hour we are ready to do something else. So we went over to Onondaga State Park in road or bike for about 10 MI on the shore of the lake. Very pretty. Everything came back to the rig I looked for my phone and I couldn't find it. Trish grabbed her phone and she saw a text from my daughter that a guy found my phone. So I reached out to the wonderful gentleman got his address and took a ride to his house. Apparently when we were loading the bike onto the car I laid the phone down and left it down and left it there. And also apparently cuz I backed out of the parking lot I ran over the phone and cracked it, thank goodness it's still functioning. Paul take a nice deep breath let It go just relax. That night we had dinner and rig the next morning we said goodbye to our host. Or driving over towards Troy New York when Trish found a winery along the way so we stopped in for a glass of wine.Afterwards we pulled into our campsite in Troy New York. I ran the hydraulic levelers but it would not level. I looked and only one Jack was down. I reset the keypad try to retract that one Jack would not go up the others would not go down. I knew I could manually override the system but wasn't exactly sure how so I googled it and found the video I then retracted the one Jack that was down. So at least we were not stuck in place. I then started checking wires and fuses but couldn't find anything wrong. I had Trish run the Jack's well I sat by the motor and I could hear a metallic click I reached out to lippert they emailed me things to check but by this time we were already on our way home. We pulled in to our driveway we unpacked and remember I am no electrician I did what I thought they wanted me to do to me it sounded like possibly the motor or the solenoid. I emailed them what I found and they said nope we don't think that's your problem they suggested other things that I check I quickly got out of my comfort zone. I reached out to George fry our local RV repair guy in Hudson Valley. We have another trip down through New Jersey in a week and a half from now at the jacks aren't working and we can't get it level we can't get the slides out safely. So hopefully George will be able to guide me into a simple and inexpensive fix. The motor runs around $1,200 ugh. While waiting on George who is swamped and crazy busy. I decided to call Lippert again. They patiently walked me through testing the solenoid and motor. Our issue was a bad motor. They suggested I replace the Solenoid when I replace the motor. They switched over to their parts dept and she suggested that I replace the sealed coupler when I replace motor. So we ran down the price of motor was just under $1100, is solenoid was $98 and the sealed coupler was $31. So all the parts are $1200 then in one of their emails they gave me a code for 10% off. Which was LCIcares. My next question to them was how bad is the shipping going to be for all this and she said well in order to use that discount you have to order the parts online but she reassured me that the shipping was not going to be much at all. I went online ordered all the parts took the 10% off the shipping came out to just over $5. They had all the items in stock and they would arrive at my door in 3 days. I'll tell you what I cannot believe the customer service I received at lippert. In fact the next day after I ordered the parts I called their tech support for the third time and I said I just ordered all these parts I just want to make sure it's the motor can you guide me through how to test the solenoid and the motor again and the gentleman said absolutely it took his time because I don't know one thing from another lol. We confirmed that it was a bad motor. While I was waiting for the parts to come in the mail I started taking apart the old leveling system.The only issue with the pump motor was the mounting bolts were different than what they described in their PDF and when I called they didn't know about these two additional mounting bolts I made a video about the issue and here's a link to the video https://youtu.be/yxLx0ZQKFzQ But the leveling system now works great. And off to our next adventure. So what do you do to help manage your stress? Do you know someone who would benefit from listening to a stress mange exercise? I have 3 FREE Stress Management recordings at https://relaxrv.org/stressed-2-2/stressed-2/ If that ain't your thing I made some videos about the improvements I mentioned and I posted them on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzwH6GhSMBDJ7qKxsLng-TA Or you can watch them on https://relaxrv.org/videos-the-good-the-bad-and-the-modifications/ There are discounts on my website to Boondockers Welcome , Harvest Hosts., Renogy Solar and Mattress Insider for all of your RV bedding needs https://relaxrv.org/discounts-to-help-lower-your-stress/ Here's a link to my RelaxRVPodcast Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Relax-RV-277623782811787/ I'm on Instagram as @relaxrvpodcast https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=hsxp0gjpugbz&utm_content=5h4872a My podcast can be found at https://www.spreaker.com/show/relax-rv-podcast Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

The shrouded myth of Advanced US Military Weapon Systems and Clandestine Alien Technology were partly exhumed by Dr. Daniel Fry and Co. during the early 90s, which for a brief time in publication, suddenly shunned in public attention. But as we revisit the text and analyze its content, Alex and Jason unraveled more than just misunderstood Extraterrestrial Phenomena. Let's join them as they discuss the second chapter of the Alien anomalies in White Sands Beach. Let us now continue with the extraterrestrial enlightenment of Dr. Daniel Fry as HDL narrates his account. www.higherdensityliving.com

Întâlnirea cu Mircea Cărtărescu are un pretext: publicarea în Franța a cărții sale, Melancolia. Le Monde sau Le Figaro vorbesc la superlativ despre Melancolia lui Mircea Cărtărescu, la fel cum s-a întâmplat în anii trecuți cu Solenoid, de exemplu. Cărțile sale urmează acum la publicare din Germania în Statele Unite. "Melancolia este cea mai bună scriitură a mea", mi-a spus Mircea Cărtărescu. "Niciodată nu am stăpânit mai bine această artă". Mi-a povestit și despre cum s-ar fi descurcat Marcel și Isabel în pandemie și o să vă las pe voi să descoperiți. Inevitabil am vorbit, însă despre lumea care ne înconjoară și funcționarea noastră ca o comunitate. Scriitorul mi-a spus c-a fost bolnav, dar c-a evitat să meargă la spital.
A recent service call lead to me to a faulty rapid cycle solenoid valve used in hot gas defrost. The solenoid valve was slightly bypassing causing an elevated evaporator temp. Check out www.hvacknowitall.com for more HVAC/R related articles and tips.

Bukarest als Weltzustand - der neue Roman des Rumänen Mircea Cărtărescu ist eine riesige Wundertüte des Erzählens. Eine Rezension von Wolfgang Schneider.
Die Realität als Sonderfall des Irrealen: Mircea Cărtărescus mystischer, phantasmagorischer Bukarest-Roman gleicht einer fliegenden Kathedrale: für alle, die sich von den Detailmalereien nie gesehener Ereignisse in den Bann ziehen lassen.Rezension von Wolfgang Schneider.aus dem Rumänischen von Ernest WichnerVerlag ZsolnayISBN 978-3-552-05948-1912 Seiten36 Euro
Stefanie de Valesco erzählt in "Kein Teil der Welt" klug und rasant vom Ausbruch aus der Gemeinschaft der Zeugen Jehovas: unser Buch der Woche. Die Realität als Sonderfall des Irrealen: Mircea Cãrtãrescu erfindet in "Solenoid" ein magisch-mystisches Bukarest. Die Lehrerin und Bloggerin Katharina Herrmann macht sich in dem Band "Kein schöner Land. Angriff der Acht auf die Gegenwart" Gedanken über Literaturvermittlung in Zeiten des Internets - und es gibt eine packende Wiederentdeckung: Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz erzählt von den kleinen Leuten im Berlin der 1920er Jahre, die viel verloren haben und trotzdem weiter feiern.Stefanie de Velasco: Kein Teil der WeltRomanVerlag Kiepenheuer&WitschISBN: 978-3-462-05043-1432 Seiten22 EuroRezension: Brigitte Neumann Kein schöner Land: Angriff der Acht auf die deutsche GegenwartC.H.

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys talk turkey on the latest hacks. Random numbers, art, and electronic geekery combine into an entropic masterpiece. We saw Bart Dring bring new life to a cool little multi-pen plotter from the Atari age. Researchers at UCSD built a very very very slow soft robot, and a broken retrocomptuer got a good dose of the space age. A 555 is sensing earthquakes, there's an electric motor that wants to drop into any vehicle, and did you know someone used to have to read the current time into the telephone ad nauseam?

This podcast captures a conversation with John Gammel, an Applications Engineer for Silicon Labs Isolation devices. Several questions are answered to help you better understand the market for PLC designs and the benefits of using Silicon Labs' isolation products. What is the PLC market like? Where do the Silicon Labs isolation parts fit in PLC designs? Do these solutions apply to architectures that use "field bus"? How can engineers quickly design with these isolation devices.

We bought an Aoyue 932 vacuum pump and modded it with a solenoid valve (-0.5 bar, 12V) and a footswitch. This is a manual pick'n'place test to see how well the footswitch operated solution works.
Proper mounting of the expansion valve, distributor nozzle and solenoid valve are essential for a correct installation to produce desired equipment performance.
