I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this:
i learned about a stupid looking bird today and i cant stop laughing
its called a crested satinbird (cnemophilus macgregorii)
Call me crazy but I believe ALL public buildings should be legally required to have a public restroom.
For those commenting that don't all buildings have restrooms available to the public, no. No they don't and as someone with a disabled parent who's been denied use of the staff only restroom it's appalling and should be illegal. As for the person who surmised that I've never cleaned a public restroom. You're correct. Thankfully, as I can't imagine how unsanitary that is and anyone who does so deserves a thousand dollars an hour. But the point still stands. All public buildings that offer a service should also offer accessible and free public restrooms to all.
i really hope lil nas x doesnât get incarcerated, i hope he isnât institutionalized against his will or as the only alternative to prison, i hope he isnât subjected to a conservatorship. i hope he gets a lawyer that is soooo fucking good at their job and has community and loved ones to rally around him. god. itâs just so awful. :( i hope those lapd officers explode
your kingdom honestly sucks. your princess replaced all of the knights with animated suits of armor :/
i stuck my hand inside the hollow suit of armour and it was wet in there
what's your problem
it was wet in there
I-
I think that might have been my handiwork?
It's at the very least the exact same model of phone and the jack is in the same spot??!
elvie. elvie what do you mean by this
The year is 2010, I am working on a senior project where I learn to play accordion. As a part of this, I join a local program that lets me sort of volunteer with the EMP/SFM, known today as the Museum of Pop Culture.
One of our primary jobs is that we are responsible for doing preselection of bands for MoPop's all under 21 battle of the bands, and attend all the shows involved. One of said bands has an old telephone handset that they use as a microphone. As a teenager still unable to distinguish between fun gimmick and thoughtful artistic choice, this experience plants a seed that will grow with terrifying rapidity.
I talk about the phone mic I saw a lot. I look up how different kinds of phones are built, and discover that most older phone handsets use what's called a "carbon button microphone", a device for capturing sound so simple that the only way to really damage it is to smash the thing with a hammer. The seed has begun to germinate.
2010 is one of the final, gasping years of the Radio Shack franchise. I think the decline of Radio Shack makes sense for a lot of reasons, but it's also emblematic of a cultural shift that I can't get over to this day. Any child in 2010 can acquire the parts required to fix a toaster, microwave, radio, or to build a Tesla Coil capable of broadcasting electricity 15 or so feet at the local Radio Shack, provided they have the money, time, and sick fascination with electronics or their own narrow understanding of communism. It is downright trivial for that child in 2010 to acquire a 1/4" jack, some wire, and ensure that yes, their father is in possession of a soldering iron. I ask my dad if we have a working telephone headset that I can render inoperable for use with a phone, and he obliges.
The beauty of a carbon button microphone is that in addition to sounding like you're radioing in from the antarctic, is that it's basically impossible to wire up to a jack incorrectly. The humble quarter inch jack doesn't carry electricity to power things, it's only job is to complete a circuit capable of turning mechanical wiggles into electromagnetic ones. I disassemble the phone, disconnect the phone jack present, and dispose of the speaker. To save myself having to drill a new hole in the handset, I install the quarter inch jack into the space where the phone jack originally was housed. I can tell that there won't be enough space on that side for both the inserted patch cable (the thing that plugs guitars into amplifiers) AND the microphone, so the wiring for that part has to be run through the central body of the phone to the other side.
I am then faced with a decision. See, the phone in question opened up by unscrewing the covers for the speaker and microphone, but the threading on the covers was identical even though the covers weren't. I could choose to place either the ear cover (lots of holes, slightly convex) or the mic cover (a few holes, fairly concave) over the mic. In the end, I decided to keep the mic cover with the microphone, which resulted in them being swapped from their original positions.
The mic got used in a few shows, including my senior project, and I had it at least until the end of college. At some point I decided I was done with the thing as I no longer had a band, and didn't have time to start one again. I think I gave it to Goodwill, either in Washington or Oregon.
I forget about the mic.
Thing is, I knew that phone mic really well. I don't want to say it was like, iconic, or anything, but it was a stupid project I was really proud of, and so I knew it intimately. The phone in that picture:
1) is at the very least the same model of handset that I modified.
2) uses a quarter inch jack that is installed in the same location/angle as the phone jack would be.
3) has the microphone and speaker caps switched from their normal positions, assuming there's not a hole for the original phone jack on the side we can't see.
I can't say for certain, but I think someone who knew a little bit about microphone and speaker tech bought my mutilated phone mic at the Goodwill. đ€·đŒââïž
holy fuck
bro we're so fucked they just integrated a ticking clock into the background music
broooo we're cooked the foley designers are integrating a boiling kettle into the soundscape
bro they just cut out the soundtrack entirely and focused really hard on the sound of my breathing and heartbeat we gotta get the fuck out of here
when I'm sad, this thing comes and bites me
Til the room smells like updog
sometimes youâll see some dickhead talking about some new dumbass version of social darwinism and âhuman natureâ and itâs like bro you would not have been popular in the hunter gatherer village. you would not be in charge of the hunting party bro. theyâd be talking shit about you around the fire every night bro like âgrug fell into a tar pit again today and i really thought about not helping him, but i did and he didnât even thank me :/â this is how your modern day neighbors talk about you too btw
