At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".

-"with lime" means call the police.

- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.

- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.

You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"

beige.partypaul (@amiserabilist@beige.party)Attached: 1 video i did not know about the hand signal for help me, and my stupid ass thought she was flirting. The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used over a video call or in person by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help.[1] Originally, the signal was created as a tool to combat the rise in domestic violence cases around the world linked to self-isolation measures that were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers.[3] It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible. The Signal for Help was created by the Canadian Women's Foundation and introduced on April 14, 2020.[4] It soon spread via the TikTok social video platform and was adopted by the international Women's Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from Canadian[5] and international[6][7] news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_for_Help

But we can simplify this.

I'm not putting finished effects into standalone metal #boxes at this point; I'm #experimenting, not producing a product. So I have a simple #modular system I cooked up to connect arbitrary effects #experiments together. One of the things it does is handle the power-supply stuff, so each effect board doesn't need to do any of that. It just receives a nice 0V and buffered #Vcc (9V) it can rely on, along with a buffered 4.5V to use as a #bias voltage when AC coupling #signals, since this is a single-supply system.

So we can chop out all the power stuff from the schematic, which fills basically a ninth of the image - divide it into 3 rows and 3 columns, like the Brady Bunch intro, and the left-middle square is basically the power section.

But there's a bigger chunk we can strip out. Boss (and many other) pedals of the era frequently used "soft switching" to enable / disable the effect while playing. If you go back in time, real physical #switches were used, so the signal was actually totally disconnected from the effects circuitry when in the "off" position. This is called "true #bypass", as opposed to the soft switching.

#Soft #switching involves having two signal paths through the effect. One applies the characteristic effect, and the other basically just buffers the signal and bypasses the rest of the effect stuff. This is implemented with transistors and latches.

okay fedi, i finally caught up a little on the #cc #creativecommons #signals thing.

so like... there just isn't going to be a CC-NFAI (No Fucking AI) option? CC's idea of being proactive is helplessly embracing this shit and then asking the owners of AI scrapers to pretty please give credit and maybe some money based on *their* financial means? I wouldn't say this to a fellow human under normal circumstances but with respect to AI scrapers, how about fuck your financial means, you should have asked the price before you stole my shit?

Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole thing, so feel free to clarify anything I stated incorrectly.
