Honestly off the top of my head I wouldn’t know that the Niger is Africa’s third longest river, so I’m glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.

Besides… it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what’s tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"

It’s probably south of something though, unless you’re at the north pole

That’s a normal housecat. Not sure what people are confused about

I bet that spoon has some iron

Sounds like you dodged a bullet, if that’s how the CEO reacts to you declining the offer. Just imagine how they’d react to somone actually making a mistake at work

If he falls over, he can’t get back up because the feet can’t touch the ground anymore

This is normal for anyone who ever dumpster dived at a bread factory

Now i’m disappointed… i thought you took a picture with an old digital camera that scanned the picture line-by-line, and the cat somehow managed to jump up midframe, without ending up blurry

It’s a conspiracy, orchestrated by Big Adapter

They sure is!

That password is not very secure, you should come up with a longer one

Every frame will also have some handwritten info about the radio it was sent with, and possibly a photocopy of some dog in the corner

My thoughts exactly!

What about MiniDisc, the storage medium of the future?

ISS, as in: you get shot into space?

Oh, so they can’t get autonomous driving to work, thus the next step is to get people who are sleeping to steer the cars remotely

Based on the pictures I’d expect the consistency to be rather soft and a bit like gummy.

that’s correct. The outer crust is a bit harder than the center, and the center consists of layers, which come apart easily when cutting. Not sure how to recreate those…

Thanks for the other tips, I’ll try adding starch next time I experiment with saitan. Also haven’t tried to microwave it yet, usually I steam it or bake it.

Ah yes, that’s the one! Thank you so much, maybe now that I know the manufacturer i can find it somewhere.

I’ve checked multiple asia stores already, will continue doing so.

Regarding making it myself: the ingredients aren’ t special, but the texture is something i don’t know how to recreate

Great, good luck with that :)

Another thing that comes to mind: for audio purposes another technique used in ring modulators for audio effects is to use a mosfet switch to mix the signal with a square wave. This has more byproducts than mixing with a pure sine, but is a lot easier to do. Since you are downconcerting, it should not matter at all if you use a square wave, since the byproducts will all be (higher-order) harmonics of the local oscillator, which you’ll filter out anyway.

I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to do… do you want to build a radio? Or are all your signals in the audio range?

Anyway:

• w2aew has some great videos on diode ring mixers, like this one about winding the transformers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8ViWS61hsU
• You can also get ready-made diode ring mixers (including transformer and everything) like this one: https://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/SRA-1W+.pdf

Regarding Gilbert cells, the two popular chips are MC1496 and SA631. The 631 comes with a built-in oscillator, so it’s quite handy. Unfortunately both are hard to come by these days.
