2024.05.14 19:20 DANJCOLEMAN1991 Sound Like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Pt.2: Kensuke Kita (2024 version)

Introduction

Kensuke Kita performing live, 2017

^(\This article is an updated version of my "Sound Like" article from 2021. I have reposted this article due to difficulties editing the original version*, and have included additional information and recommendations based on the increased popularity of amp simulator pedals*)*

Hello fellow musicians and Ajikan fans!
I have been a fan of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION for roughly 16 years and as a guitarist was greatly inspired by the band's alt rock sound.
After a few years of research I have written a series of "sound like" articles for ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION. The purpose of these articles is to provide context on how the band create their signature sound, and to support beginning musicians or tribute acts who may wish to replicate it.
At the end of each article I have drafted a Budget Rig, which you could use for both at home and in a live environment. I have also provided some general amp settings to tweak and try, which are based on the band's live sound and be can used to help replicate their tones.
This is a 3-part series and if you enjoy this article I would recommend checking out the other articles:
Sound Like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Pt.1: Masafumi Gotoh (2024 version) : AsianKungFuGeneration (reddit.com)
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Sound Like Part 3: Yamada : AsianKungFuGeneration (reddit.com)

To help you recognise the individual guitar tones, Gotch's guitar parts are normally panned to the left earphone and Kita's are panned to the right earphone on the band's albums. (On 2016's Sol-Fa, Hometown and some of the Planet Folks singles the panning was swapped, with Gotch instead in the right ear and Kita on the left)

Kensuke Kita

In this article we are focusing on lead guitarist and backing vocalist Kensuke Kita. Responsible for many of the band's iconic melodies and riffs, Kita's rig setup is a classic rock setup: A Gibson Les Paul into a Marshall-esque amp.
Inspired by 90's alt rock and Brit Pop groups such as Supergrass, Blur, Manic Street Preachers and Radiohead, Kita has constantly evolved as a musician and became more involved with the song writing process from Fanclub onwards. (Kita has writing credits on Blue Train)
This evolution can be seen clearly when you compare the punk rock style of Houkai Amplifier with the more experimental, pop inspired Planet Folks. While the earlier records reflected a focus on riffs and octave chord melodies, Kita now prefers playing major and minor third chords, triad chords and arpeggios, reflecting his "melody-maker" role in the band.

^{A triad chord} ^{is a chord made of 3 separate notes. They are commonly played on the higher strings and Kita uses them a lot, in tracks such as Aru Machi no Gunjou, Sayonara Lost Generation and Gekkou. Major and Minor third chords are sometimes referred to as Dyads.}

During live performances Kita will experiment with ambient tones, but remains the lead guitar sound, with Gotch acting as a anchor for the overall band.

GUITARS

Kita's primary guitar is a Gibson Les Paul. You want to capture the power and sustain of the humbucker pickups, so single coils will generally not work. Furthermore, I would not recommend active pickups, such as EMG pickups, and to avoid anything that creates too much gain. Remember, Kita sound is rooted in a traditional rock setup.
His most recognisable and iconic guitar is his Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue. Kita bought the 59's reissue in 2004 and has been a mainstay ever since, using it on every Ajikan album from Fanclub onwards.
Kita's Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue
Kita's backup guitar is a Historic Collection 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue, which is also used for Eb/D# standard tuning for songs such as After Dark, Yoru No Call and Empathy. Kita's other standout guitar is his Gibson ES-335, which is used occasionally for songs with a capo.
A good example of this would be the live performance of Natsu no Hi, Zanzou from the 10th Anniversary shows and live performances of Juuni Shinhou no Yuukei and Maigo Inu to Ame no Beat.
Kita has also experimented with Fender Telecasters, Jazzmasters and Stratocasters on the band's albums, although neither have been seen on stage so far. In a interview with Guitar Magazine, Kita confirmed that he used a Fender Jazzmaster on Empathy.

If you are looking to capture Kita's guitar sound, a Les Paul style guitar with vintage sounding pickups would be the best place to start.

^{Between 2002-2007, Kita armed his Les Pauls with Gibson Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position and the Burstbucker 1 in the neck position. Since 2007, Kita has used Custombuckers in both positions. Like Gotch, Kita uses Tortex Flex picks and are most likely .73mm or .88mm variants}

AMPLIFIERS

In the band's early years of success, Kita used a Marshall JCM 900-4100 head with a Marshall 1960A cabinet. In late 2005, Kita replaced the Marshall amp with the Bogner Ecstasy 101b and Bogner 4x12 Cabinet, which he has used ever since as his main live amplifier.
Kita's JCM900 amp, used during the early 2000's and Sol-Fa 2004 tour
The Bogner has 3 channel settings, with the "green" channel based on traditional Vox amp, the "blue" channel based on a Marshall JCM800 & Marshall Plexi and the "Red" channel as a higher drive channel. The Bogner also has a boost feature that Kita uses for solos.
Both the JCM900 and Ecstasy amps are based on vintage Marshall sounds, whereas the modern Marshall amps have a darker, more compressed sound.
Between 2000-2011 Kita would only use the Marshall or Bogner stack for live performances and simply switch between the amp channels. In 2012, Kita introduced the Shinos Luck 6V combo to his live setup.
The Shinos amps were set up by a former VOX Chief engineer and in general has a blend of Fender and Vox amps sound wise. They have also been compared to Matchless amps, which Kita has used occasionally on international tours.
Kita's Bogner Ecstasy 101b and Shinos Luck V6
Kita has experimented with more amplifiers in the studio and has been known to use JCM800's, VOX and Matchless amps on albums, but for the purpose of this article we will keep the focus on matching his vintage Marshall & Bogner tone.
Kita's clean sound can be heard on Angou No Waltz, Mustang and Yuugure no Aka, while his distorted sound can be heard on Standard, Re:Re: and Kouya wo Aruke.

^{Kita used 4x12 Greenback speakers in his Marshall cabinet (this was 2004 sound} & since 2005 he has likely use Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The Shino is likely set up with a Celestion Classic Lead 80 speaker.)

PEDALS

Alongside the amp pairing, Kita uses a wide variety of pedals that has only grown in recent years. Previously, Kita stuck to a small collection of pedals which included a delay pedal and a preamp pedal.
Kita's 2004 pedalboard, used during the Sol-Fa tour
This collection has since rapidly grown, but has generally included a compressor, phaser, wah and a delay.
During the Eizo Sakushin Shu Vol. 6 performance, where he used a Boss DD-20 Giga Delay, an MXR M-132 Super Comp, Boss PH-2 Super Phaser, a Guyatone WR3 Wah Rocker and VoxV847 Wah pedal. Kita also used a BOSS TR-2 Tremolo at this time.
Kita's 2009 Pedalboard, which was used during the Eizo Sakushin Shu Vol. 6 performance
The Super Comp is used as a boost for lead melodies and solos, and the Super Phaser can be heard in performances of Mustang and Shinkokyuu. The Giga Delay can be heard in tracks such as Night Diving, Re:Re: and Mugen Glider, as well as the band's ambient jams. The Wah Rocker can be heard in Kugenuma Surf & Enoshima Escar
Since 2010 Kita's pedal board has gradually evolved to include more delay & modulation effects. (Such as the Boss Harmonist and BOSS MD-200 Modulation) He has also used fuzz and distortion pedals from time to time. For example, he has added the BOSS Tone Bender and Earthquaker Transmisser for ambient noises between tracks.
In recent years, Kita has also used octave pedals for lead parts (which recreates what the guitarist plays but at a higher or lower pitch), such as Blood Circulator, Boys & Girls and Clock Work. The Electro Harmonix POG2, which can be seen on his current rig below, is used for the intro of Kakato de Ai o Uchinarase.
Kita's current 2022 Pedalboard: (1) FREE THE TONE/JB-41S (Junction Box) (2) Jim Dunlop/535Q Crybaby Multi-Wah (Wow Pedal) (3) Custom Audio Japan/RS 616 (Programmable Switcher) (4)MXSuper Comp (Compressor) (5) Electro-Harmonix/POG2 (Octave) (6) BOSS/TB-2W (Fuzz) (7)EarthQuaker Devices/Transmisser (Modulation/Reverb) (8) strymon/ZELZAH (multi-phaser) (9) BOSS/MD-200 (multi-modulation) (10)(11) BOSS/DD-20 (multi-delay) (12) BOSS/FRV-1 (reverb) (13) Electro-Harmonix/FREEZE (sustainer)(14) BOSS/FS-5U (foot switch) (15) BOSS/TU-2s (tuner) (16) RJM/Amp Gizmo (amplifier channel switcher) (17) FIREGLOW/PPS-05 (power supply) (18) Vital Audio/VA-08 Mk-II (Power Supply)
To help manage his massive pedalboard on stage, Kita has been using a Custom Audio Switcher to control his pedals, which also allows him to create "loops" of saved settings for each song. I've included a list of his pedals from the current board on the picture below.
The guitar runs into the Junction box (top right) and wah pedal before going into the switcher. Kita can control the Comp and reverb from the switcher, along with the amp settings.
The guitar line then runs from the Dyna Comp through the rest of the pedals, which are controlled in separate loops by the switcher, before running into an amp switcher for the Bogner and Shinos. You can see these loops below:

^{Loop 1: Dyna Comp} ^{Loop 2: Dyna Comp, POG 2, Tone Bender, Transmisser} ^{Loop 3: Dyna Comp, Zelzah} ^{Loop 4: Dyna Comp, BOSS MD-200 (using the tremolo effect}) ^{Loop 5: Dyna Comp, 2x BOSS DD-20s} ^{Loop 6: Dyna Comp, 63' Fender Reverb}

Kita has a few additional pedals on the board, such as the Electro Harmonix Freeze, which can hold a note for a sustained amount of time and a separate BOSS footswitch to tap in a count for his delay sound.
While this may seem complicated (and it is!) bear in mind that many of the pedals are to recreate certain sounds from the band's 10 albums, or to allow Kita to experiment during live performances.
You do not need to build a pedalboard this big to sound like Kita.
Instead, I would focus on Kita's main pedals, which include the MXR Super Comp, his two Boss DD-20 Giga Delay pedals, the Dunlop535Q Crybaby Multi-Wah, the Strymon ZELZAH (phase) and BOSS MD-200. (phase/auto-wah/tremolo)

Sound Like Kita ...On a Budget

Kita, Quarter Century tour, 2022
To buy Kita's current rig would cost thousands of pounds (the 59' Les Paul alone could be worth £5,000) so much like the Gotch's post we have a few more affordable options that could get you close. The idea is to create a rig that can be used at home or in small venues to perform live.
Also bear in mind that information provided are based on Kita's Live setup, which is aimed at finding a medium between all of the sounds formed on the albums. Please also note that these are personal suggestions as a fan and if you find that works better for you, then great!
The main areas to consider are:

A 50's inspired Les Paul
A Boutique Marshall style amp
A compressor pedal
A Delay pedal and Multi-effect pedals

GUITAR
In terms of guitar options there are plenty of Les Paul copies, but for look and sound Epiphone is a no-brainer. The Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard is the newer, more expensive option but is based on the 59' Les Paul model, much like Kita's main guitar. You can buy one for around £749.
Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard
The more affordable option is the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '50s, which is also a solid pick and goes for around £500.
AMPLIFIER
In terms of affordable amps, Bogner have recently released the Ecstasy Mini 30W Head which costs around £349. You would need a speaker to plug the head into, this solid-state amp would get you close to Kita's sound and could be used for gigging with a big enough speaker.
Bogner Ecstasy Mini 30W Head
You could also try out the Marshall MG50 and Marshall Origin amps as affordable Marshall amps with a classic sound, closer to the JCM900/Bogner style.
Another approach you could take would be to use the Bogner Ecstasy pedals, which are pedals designed to emulate the Bogner Ecstasy amps. (Please bear in mind that you would need to tweak the settings more to work with the amp you use)
The BOSS Katana series and Blackstar amps (which have a dial to set a more British sound) have Marshall-esque settings and could also work, but would require more tweaking.
PEDALS
There are a wide variety of pedals to choose from, but to keep the pedal suggestions simple but versatile. Because of its importance to Kita's sound, I would recommend the MXR Super Comp.
MXR Super Comp
A great example of how this would sound can be on tako wasa YouTube channel, who demonstrated the pedal on this live stream. (tako also has a solid pedal board that is worth taking inspiration from!) An alternative approach would be to buy a Booster pedal to create the same effect, such as the Xotic EP-3 Boost
A delay pedal is also must for a sound like rig (Especially those keen to play the Re:Re: 2016 intro) and so the recommendation would be a Boss DD Delay pedals. The DD-6 or DD-8 are more affordable options that can definitely do the job, while the DD-200 gives you a more versatile option and the ability to save pre-sets for different tracks.
Boss DD-8
Cheaper alternatives that you could also consider are the Tone City Tape Machine and the TC Electronic Flashback 2 Mini, which are both good options for the price.
Another pedal for Kita's sound to consider would be a Wah pedal. As the Dunlop535Q Crybaby is quite a steep price for casual players, so I would recommend the Vox 845 Wah Wah Pedal. At £69 its considerably cheaper than the Dunlop535Q and should get close to Kita's original Wah sound.
Finally, we are going to focus on the modulation sounds for Kita, and ultimately this is down to preference and what songs you would like to emulate.
BOSS MD-200
If you wanted to have a mix of sounds, the BOSS MD-200, which Kita uses, covers many of the sounds he uses, including the phaser, auto-Wah and tremolo sounds.
For more specific roles, the BOSS PH-3 Phase Shifter will get you close to his original phase sound (try to avoid the Phase 90 style pedals for Kita's sound), while the BOSS Harmonist or a different Octave pedal would help capture some of his lead tones for the current era.
You could also consider a reverb pedal if you want to capture some of the ambient sounds Kita creates live or if the amp you choose doesn't include reverb.
AMP SIMULATOR PEDAL OPTIONS?
The final option to consider would be a Amp Simulator pedal. This type of pedal has become increasingly popular in the last few years and would be used in place of a traditional amp and effect pedals. You would then use the Amp Simulator with a IR Cabinet (a powered cabinet speaker) or with a Power Amp in between the Amp Simulator and a traditional cabinet.
They can be fairly expensive to buy and I would only advise buying one if you do intend to move on from your traditional amp/pedal setup, however the Quad Cortex DSP & Headrush Pedalboard would be good starting points. They are both aimed at capturing more traditionally hi gain amps such as the Bogner and Marshall amps, so should be able to do a good job at capturing Kita's sound.

Recommended Amp Settings

The following amp settings were based on photos from live performances and you should bear in mind that the volume may be quite loud for home use, so I would suggest bringing it down. Also bear in mind that every musician and amp will slightly differ so you may need to tweak with your settings to find the right blend.
My personal advice is to keep the gain around the middle and to use the volume to crunch up the sound. Kita does use a cabinet, so you may need to add more low end for a combo amp, and again bear in mind that the volume may need to be lower for home use.
Shino Luck V6:
Vol: 5, Treble: 5, Middle: 5, Bass: 3.5, Master: 3.5, Boost: 7, Level: 4
Bogner Green Setting:
Presence A: 8.5, Presence B: 8, Vol. 1: 5, Treble: 4:5, Mid: 4, Gain 1: 5.5
Bogner Blue Setting:
Vol. 2: 5.5, Vol. 3: 5.5, Treble: 5, Middle: 5/5.5, Bass: 5, Gain 2: 4.5, Gain 3: 5.5

2024.05.14 19:19 AlansJunk Rakuten Japan - time and cost breakdown as example

hey, I want to share my recent Rakuten Japan purchase time and cost break down.
I know ppl have asked about where to buy some parts and accessories. Some times, you can find parts on ebay, or USA domestic vendors, and that's great. But eventually, you'll be eying up something from Japan, and want to know how all this works. So recently, I purchased a set of outside mirrors for my Atrai from auctions.yahoo.co.jp and rakuten.co.jp just to go through the experience for myself.
here's my breakdown from my Rakuten purchase (all USA time are EDT)

order placed on Rakuten.co.jp at 2024-05-07 4:30pm (2024-05-08 05:30am in Japan)
first seller shipped on 05-08 4:41 AM (05-08 5:41 pm in Japan)
second seller shipped on 05-09 2:27 AM (05-09 3:27 pm in Japan)
both products arrived at Rakuten Global by 05-10 10:20 PM (05-11 11:20am Saturday in Japan)
I manually selected packing methods at 05-10 11:37 PM (05-11 12:37PM Saturday in Japan)
Rakuten told me package were packed by 05-11 1:58 AM (05-11 2:58pm Saturday in Japan)
- (they said i could have paid more to get the package packed faster)
- (I can't pick shipping method until the package is packed)
I picked the desired shipping method at 05-11 6:21 AM (05-11 7:21pm Saturday in Japan)
Rakuten Global told me package is shipped at 05-13 1:41 AM (05-13 2:41pm Monday in Japan)
FedEx delivered the package in Easton MD at 05-14 11:20am

from beginning to end, about 7 days. could've saved some time if i didn't order on a Tuesday, and if the second seller didn't wait an extra day to ship my product in Japan
cost break down

Coil Packs x 3 - 24,130円 free shipping - $155.44
Radiator Cap - 1,500円 free shipping - $9.66
Rakuten Global
- Shipping fee 5,800円
- Protective packing 400円
- total = 6200円- $39.94
Grand total $205.04

Very positive experience. I'll post my Yahoo / Buyee breakdown later.

2024.05.14 19:19 InBetweenTheLiminal Post-op MD experience

I wanted to track my progress and also maybe provide helpful insight for those looking to get surgery. I'll be updating this every few days.
SYMPTOMS/CONTEXT:
I 28f had a severe herniated disk at the l4/l5 disc since 2021 was working towards treatment in 2022 but lost my insurance at the new year of 2023 and went the entire year without seeing any doctors. In Dec of 2023 i was able to get a new job and back on the original insurance and pick up where i left off. At the time of my most recent MRI in Feb 2024 the herniation was described as severe causing severe stenosis and nerve impingement it measured 19x10x19mm. My symptoms continued to worsen to the point I was unable to do much of anything, sitting, standing, laying down all hurt, I barely slept because I'd be in severe pain from laying down within a few hours. I couldn't drive, I lost weight because I couldn't sit or stand long enough to cook and just laid in bed tossing and turning. I didn't shower, brush my hair, walk my dog, clean my house or go anywhere unless I absolutely had to. I could likely count the number of times I left my house between February and May on both hands. Pain was majority in my left side, hip and gluten, behind my knee and I had numbness in the front of my lower left leg and the top of my left foot. My right leg and foot had existing nerve damage because I have had this issue before from a snowboarding accident. I had existing numbness and weakness in the right leg which worsened to the point I couldn't wiggle my toes and had poor balance. I have saddle area numbness, urinary retention and incontinence and bowel incontinence when my stool is too soft. Again all of which worsened.
THE SURGERY:
I had surgery on May 9th, I was expected to be admitted for 1 day because my surgeon expected he would need to remove bone on the right side not just the left to get all the disc material. He was able to open me up on the left side and get everything out. However, my disc material had pressed my nerve into the bone and wore it very very thing and the dura tore causing a CSF leak. A neurosurgeon assisted in closing up the leak. My surgeon was impressed by the size of the herniation and took pictures to show me at our next post op appointment, saying my entire disc had essentally been blown out into the small space which was what was making my symptoms so bad, there was no room left for my nerve. There were no complications.
RECOVERY
DAY 1-5: I ended up having to lay flat for 48 hours due to the dural tear. After which I was allowed to sit up. The pain was mostly from soreness but I have having nerve pain that pulsed from my back into my glute. It would wake me up out of my drug induced sleep. I also ended up getting my period on the 2nd day which caused a lot of back soreness and cramping. I think a lot of my discomfort was due to being stuck in bed because PT and OT had not seen me and I wasn't able to leave the bed unattended. On day 3 I was able to get up and they removed my foley and the little leg wraps that fill with air to keep up with circulation. I was able to go to the bathroom and move pretty well with my cane around the room. This continued until day 5 where I was able to meet with PT and OT we walked the halls of the hospital and I was permitted to go home. The car ride was extremely uncomfortable. I was able to shower for the first time since the day before surgery using a shower chair and while difficult to not twist etc it was tolerable. The least painful shower ive had in almost 2 years. I found myself extremely sore by the end of day 5.
DAY 6: (05/14) as of this post this is my current day. I still have the throbbing pain but mostly this seems to be stirred up by movement. Mostly going from a laying down to sitting position. Though it does still randomly occur while I am laying down but not nearly as much. I'm about half way through the day and have found that laying on my right side is far more comfortable than my left side. I have tried sitting in a recliner and just leaning back but this seems to put too much pressure on my back and incision site so I have been mostly in bed or laying on my couch which is very firm and easy to get up and down from. I won't have anyone staying with me after today and I'm confident that I'll be able to handle things on my own. Other than the pain relief I have not noticed any improvement to the other symptoms I had, numbness, weakness etc remain the same.

2024.05.14 19:13 irishnodwalker ODST collab event

Hear me out. I've been a console gamer for most of my childhood and partly in my adulthood now a pc player. Growing up I loved playing halo odst like many and still to this day love it ( even have a odst sticker on my truck). I think if a collab is to ever happen with starship troopers or even predator like there is post suggesting, I think this should be one. ODST is already very similar to the point where they drop from ships in orbit in pods behind enemy lines and fight bugs,bots,etc. I mean come on, helljumpers and helldivers. It's basically goes hand and hand. I even have the whole deal on lock. The event rewards would be armor, helmet, cape and 2 weapons. Helmet and armor would be obviously the halo 3 Odst armor set. Cape can be the odst flag. Weapons would be the m6s suppressed magnum, and the m7s suppressed smg. Obviously we needs more pistols and smgs in the game! The event could be like a mini warbond and it takes medals to unlock or challenge based ( x amount of kills from smgs to unlock smg etc etc). For all the ideas floating around im surprised I haven't seen anyone post something like this before but I for one would really like to see this happen. I know helldivers isn't even on xbox but halo is now on pc so I feel it's more doable for that aspect. Maybe I'm wrong but this would be a great idea. I added pictures for reference.

2024.05.14 19:10 Douglasjm Magic is Programming B2 Chapter 1: Catching Up

Synopsis:
Carlos was an ordinary software engineer on Earth, up until he died and found himself in a fantasy world of dungeons, magic, and adventure. This new world offers many fascinating possibilities, but it's unfortunate that the skills he spent much of his life developing will be useless because they don't have computers.
Wait, why does this spell incantation read like a computer program's source code? Magic is programming?
___
Here we go with book 2!
<< First < Previous Next > (RR) or Next > (Patreon)
Carlos lounged comfortably on one of the mayor's fancy sofas. At 23 years old with a healthy body he really didn't need cushioned upholstery, but he liked how it felt. Honestly, he was probably more comfortable with high quality furniture than someone of his relatively low-income background should be in this world. Spoiled by the mass production factories of modern Earth, I suppose. All of this stuff here is probably handmade. Er, make that definitely handmade. Unless they have magic factories I haven't heard about, or something. He mentally shrugged. There was no point trying to change his attitudes toward furniture now. While this world might have higher prices for a lot of things than he was used to, he was also a lot richer than he was used to thanks to having become a noble lord. People would expect him to treat fine furniture as cheap because of his station.
I might have the physical habits of a couch potato, but at least I don't look like one. Too skinny. Not as skinny as Amber, though. He smiled as he watched the young woman next to him on the sofa continue animatedly expounding on their recent adventures together. She was lanky, with few curves to speak of and spindly limbs, far from any conventional picture of feminine beauty. Her hair, a slightly lighter shade of brown than his own, was cropped short. He thought she was 18 or 19 years old, but wasn't sure. Have I really never asked her age before? ... Would that be a rude question here? Regardless of her age, she had grown her confidence a lot since their first meeting a few weeks ago. She'd found her footing in a new life that she'd seized with utter determination, and he saw no sign of the shyness that she'd first greeted him with. The way her potential was finally blooming was beautiful to watch.
Carlos turned his gaze to the sofa across from them and carefully held back from laughing at the expressions Trinlen was making as Amber wrapped up explaining the events and developments they'd gone through since their introduction to him at the Royal Mage Academy. Carlos had contributed a fair amount to the explanation at first, but Amber had taken to it with enthusiasm when she arrived, and he could tell she was enjoying it. The young man in front of them, newly graduated from said academy, was on the edge of his seat and leaning forward, hanging attentively on every word. His casual attire, plain and made of cheap materials, looked thoroughly out of place on the finely embroidered velvet of the sofa, but he'd shown no sign of even noticing the finery around him. Excitement warred for control of his face with surprise, disbelief, envy, and dismay.
Amber finished her impromptu monologue, and Trinlen slowly schooled his face into a neutral expression. His voice was tense and tightly controlled. "So... In short, you're telling me that in the mere two weeks since you met me, you discovered a mana-poaching conspiracy of nobles, were abducted right under the noses of two royal guards without them even noticing, absorbed mana so fast that you gained 6 levels in a day and a half - so unfair, by the way - somehow learned an obscure portal spell from just its name and description, found evidence of a conspiracy against the Crown, and personally met a princess." He paused, then threw his hands up as he wailed in frustration and disappointment. "And I missed it!?"
Carlos threw back his head and burst out laughing. He couldn't help it. Trinlen just sounded so much like a little kid who'd barely missed out on a candy store giving away its entire stock for free. It was such an incredible light-hearted contrast with how everyone else viewed these same events that the sheer ridiculousness of it was overwhelming. Amber joined the laughter a moment later, shaking her head in amused disbelief, and after a few more seconds Trinlen started chuckling too.
Carlos's laughter eventually trailed off, and he took a deep breath to settle down. "Thanks, Trinlen. It's been a very stressful two weeks, and laughing like that helped release a lot of it. Feels good. Anyway, what have you been up to? I thought you would take a whole month to graduate?"
"Technically I only said 'next month', not that it would be at the same point in the month. But yes, this is earlier than I expected. The normal graduation ceremony is still a week and a half away." Trinlen shrugged. "They didn't explain the reasons, but after what you said I'm guessing your meeting with the princess prompted her to do something. The vice headmaster called me to his office yesterday morning, a few teachers grilled me on my classwork, and they declared I'd passed my exams. Then they told me to pack because I'd be teleported to my new employers the next day, and here I am." He sighed. "Hmph. Now I won't get to humiliate Norla in front of the whole academy when she gives her speech." Then he perked up and grinned widely. "But it sounds like you two are going to be so much fun that I'll get over it in no time!"
"I'm not sure if I agree with your idea of fun, Trinlen, but if it motivates you to help us more then that's good enough for me." Carlos chuckled again. "Anyway, do you need some time to get settled in? You might need to think about lesson plans for us too. We don't need just catalogues of incantations to learn anymore, at least not for simple ones, but I believe you learned other things in the academy too. You mentioned creating your own spells, as I recall."
Trinlen nodded. "I did mention that, yes. I'm guessing your lack of need for a catalogue is because of your newfound ability to somehow pull entire incantations from thin air? You'll have to at least tell me about the limitations of that so I'll know what I still need to teach you, but yeah, there are other things. For one thing, there's your sloppy terminology! Why does no one outside of the academy care about properly distinguishing between the states of mana? Is it really that hard to understand that calling aether, mana, and essence all by the same term obscures your meaning and often causes confusion? Or are people so stupid that they can't even understand the difference?"
Carlos blinked and exchanged a look with Amber. His comprehension aid informed him about the distinction the instant Trinlen spoke the terms. That would have been nice to know earlier. The comprehension aid is a house secret, so we should let him explain. "At least for us, it's just ignorance. I don't think I've even heard the other two terms you mentioned, and certainly no one ever explained them. So, what is the difference?"
Trinlen paused, cocked his head for a moment, and slowly deflated after his impassioned rant. "Yeah, okay, that's fair. I don't think I ever heard about it before going to the academy either." He sat up straight. "Aether is what you've been calling ambient mana. It's thin like air, and it's everywhere. Its only use is converting it to mana or essence. Mana, using the term with proper precision, is thicker but still fluid like water. It exists primarily in people or creatures and is used as fuel to supply power for spells and magical effects. Essence is hard and solid. It is the material that soul structures are made of, as well as the forms of active spells and enchantments. Am I clear so far?"
Amber answered first. "Yes, I'm familiar with each of the forms you described. I have questions about more details - so many questions - but you should get properly settled in, and maybe eat lunch, before we really get down to it. Have you spoken with Mayor Stelras yet? Do you have lodging sorted out?"
"I went by his office first. He's having someone take my luggage to an inn. The Adventurer's Haven, I think? He said something about a 'low-value target' and having an empty suite already booked." Trinlen's eyes widened. "Waaait a minute. Is he putting me in the room you two were abducted from?"
Carlos shrugged. "Sounds like it."
"Nice! Think there'll be any evidence left of how it was done?"
"Haha! Probably not by this point, but you're welcome to look. Now go get unpacked, eat a meal, and start planning your lessons for us. I'm glad you're here, but we have some other things to do too."
Trinlen nodded and stood up. "Sure. I'll be back before you miss me."
Carlos waved as Trinlen sauntered out the door. He and Amber sat in companionable silence for a while as he felt the mana - or essence? - of Trinlen's soul moving off into the distance. "Well. That was interesting. It's good to have him, but I was expecting a bit more time to think and plan before he'd get here."
"Yeah." Amber stretched and then leaned back into the sofa's cushions, luxuriating in their soft firmness. "So, how much are we going to tell him? How useful will his knowledge even be for us, now that we have, what did you call it, the reference documentation? That bit about the states of mana is good to know, but is it really relevant and important, and how much more can there be that's not in the documentation?"
"Be careful talking about that out loud, remember?" Carlos relaxed and draped his arms across the sofa's back as he focused his mind on their mental bond through Purple, their friendly dungeon core. [On Earth, we made many languages similar to the language of incantations, and we had the reference documentation for all of them. We even published that documentation free for everyone to have. Teachers for those languages were still useful, and even critically important for many people. Having access to knowledge doesn't mean you automatically understand how to properly apply it. There may be related knowledge we have no idea even exists. There could be techniques and patterns for how to use the language that are simply outside the scope of the documentation. Perhaps most importantly, a teacher can use their experience to notice a student's mistakes and correct them before they become problems.]
[Hmm.] Amber bit her lip, thinking. [Like how I knew about making soul structures and synergies between them, but had no idea about the importance of being able to examine and fix them, I suppose.]
Carlos nodded. [Yeah. And that's a really simple example. I know some that are a lot more complex, though I'm not sure how many of them are even applicable for incantations. Inversion of control, dependency injection, factory patterns...] He shook his head. [Just the context knowledge needed to be able to fully understand those could take days or weeks to teach well enough for you to use them. I could maybe explain the basic ideas faster with some simplified analogies, but that would lose so many details that I doubt it would still be useful.]
Amber paused. [... Even my comprehension aid is baffled by the terms you just said. It translated the individual words that you said, but all I got for the phrases is a confusing jumble.] She chuckled. [Anyway, I concede the point. Trinlen will still be able to teach us important and useful things. We still need to decide what secrets to share with him.]
[A lot depends on how good he is at keeping secrets. We don't actually know him all that well yet. He's certainly fun, and he seems clever, but for assessing his integrity we're leaning pretty hard on just a janitor vouching for him.] Carlos frowned in thought. [In order for him to do his job, he needs to know that we can only "pull an entire incantation from thin air" if it's a simple one. He does not need to know the full details of help, however, and most certainly does not need to learn to use it himself. That secret is a very sensitive one, where even just letting too much knowledge of it spread would lose us a major advantage.]
[Definitely. No casting help where he can hear it, and don't say anything about it that's not directly relevant for his teaching, either. Not until he's earned our full trust.] Amber lapsed into silent consideration. [We should introduce him to Purple. We'll kind of have to at some point anyway, and the really valuable thing there is Purple himself, not just the knowledge of his existence.]
Carlos nodded. [True. I think that probably is the least sensitive of our house secrets, and being able to call him through a bond with Purple would be useful.] He chuckled. [And maybe his cleverness will end up producing some good ideas for Purple to use. See if he can find a more productive outlet than pranks for his creativity. And then... If he keeps that secret well enough for long enough, we can consider trusting him with more secrets.]
Amber sent back wordless agreement.
Carlos started sitting up, lifting himself out of the comfortable cushions. "Well, we should get some food ourselves, too. And maybe introduce Trinlen to everyone else along with Purple." He stood up and spotted a letter he'd set aside when Trinlen arrived. "Oh yeah, and what do you think we should do about Kindar?"
"Wait, what's this about Kindar?"

2024.05.14 19:08 izzyzak117 500 hours with the new LG 39” UltraWide (39GS95QE-B)

I made a post here previously about this monitor when I initially purchased it so I wanted to provide an update and my plans to run this thing into the ground.
What I love still:

The size
The resolution (yes 3440 x 1440 at 39”)
The semi gloss screen coating
240Hz and perfect pixel response

What I have started to see as silly:

The lack of KVM switch became annoying as I started to find a reason to have one- its $1500.
All HDR color modes look absolutely disgusting without calibration
HDR benefits are hit or miss

I find this panel applies a sickly inaccurate green cast to many colors in HDR. I have heard I am not the only one with this issue. Luckily, in SDR using RGB mode the colors are brilliant and look correct. But thats the problem, that’s SDR. I have a Stream Deck setup with an HDR toggle now such that I can get good Windows OS color and HDR performance in games as in most games that green sickly tint is not noticeable at all. I’m sure if I calibrated the display the HDR color issues may be drastically reduced as well.
Other than that…
I didn’t think I could grow to like less PPI and less resolution. I have found that my productivity use of this monitor has changed a bit, and things are easy to do now. The gaming benefits are just impossible to ignore. Sitting about 2.5-3 feet away with it dead center I couldn’t tell if it was 4K or not unless I really squinted for a second. In productivity work, on the desktop, text is terrible in Windows and excellent on macOS- I work on macOS so I get the luxury of not caring about that.
I’ve had this monitor for just over 3 months, already 500 hours of use. I use it about 6 hours a day for productivity (I WFH) when working at my desk, another 2-6 hours a day gaming on average. Pixel refresher cycles are usually ran twice a day automatically when the monitor goes to sleep.
I am kind of a crazy person:

Taskbars and menus are minimized always
No full screen or window snapping
I no longer use any window organization method, they’re a pile and I generally do a few things to keep them piled easily and accessibly but never the same way, this destroys the chance of burnin.
I have 40+ wallpapers and they cycle every 3 minutes or so on all devices connected to it
Monitor auto-sleeps in a minute
If I want to keep the PC on I have a Stream Deck button to open a YT video of a 21:9 nature photogrpahy video in full screen- this ensures no burnin
I change dark to light themes often
I change browser themes to other color themes often

Monitor settings for daily use:
Gaming: SDR with RGB color settings, Peak Brightness set to “High”, Brightness set to 90 OR HDR with VESA color settings, Peak Brightness set to “High”, Brightness set to 100.
Productivity: SDR with RGB color settings, Peak Brightness set to Low, and Brightness set to 80.
I want to see how long I can keep this thing on doing what I do before I see a color difference or brightness difference. I think I’ll be at 2000 hours before EOY. More updates to come!

2024.05.14 19:04 Timeskillinus Bigger tire, or bigger wheel?

Looking a building out a frame, I am going to max out the tire size for the Oregon Timber Trail. I can ether do 29x2.6 or I can do 27.5 x 2.8 or 3" ish. The wheels would be about the same diameter. Wondering what would be better on rough single track? Is the extra bit of rubber on the 27.5 that much better? I feel like I Would have more tread options with the 2.6". Has anyone else thought through this and maybe tested stuff out? Thanks in advance.

2024.05.14 19:02 jonessyue SMB Multichannel decade MacPro6,1 double speed 2000MB/s

Multichannel is turn-on, traffic is through two thunderbolt cables.
Last week I have been asked about: Could SMB Multichannel work with Thunderbolt Networking? Which means double transferring speed is working with two thunderbolt cables directly connected between a macOS and a qnap nas?
Yes! Definitely! :) Transferring speed could reach 2000 MB/s! SMB Multichannel could be based on tcp/ip channels, and Thunderbolt Networking is based on tcp/ip networking stack too, so SMB Multichannel over Thudnerbolt Networking should work fine.
Let us take an example by a client MacPro6,1 (2013 late) and qnap nas in my lab. Wait a second .. did we mean a decade MacPro6,1 could double transferring speed by SMB Multichannel?
Yes! Absolutely! :) As Apple said[1] macOS Big Sur 11.3 and later could support SMB Multichannel (client side), so just upgraded my MacPro6,1 to macOS Monterey 12.6.1 and .. let us fire up this old weapons system![2]
THE A-TEAM (2010) clip, Hannibal & Face
MacPro6,1 and qnap nas are directly connected with two Thunderbolt2 cables. We pick port1&2 from MacPro6,1[3], and the 1st port of each dual-port Thunderbolt2 card from qnap nas, green to green, blue to blue.
Directly connected with two Thunderbolt2 cables.
Both client side and nas side needs two ip addresses for two Thunderbolt2 ports.
On client side, MacPro6,1 has six Thunderbolt2 ports which are put into the 'Thunderbolt Bridge' by default, we would like to remove port1&2 from default 'Thunderbolt Bridge'. Then create two new bridges (i.e. virtial interfaces), 1st named 'TB_1' for port 1, 2nd named 'TB_2' for port 2, in order to assign a custom static ip address for each new bridge: 88.88.1.1/16 and 88.88.1.2/16 (88.88.1.x/16 series).
Two ip address on MacPro6,1.
On nas side, use the same idea to create two new virtual switches for two Thunderbolt2 ports, and assign a custom static ip address for each new virtual switch: 88.88.3.1/16 and 88.88.3.2/16 (88.88.3.x/16 series).
Two ip addresses on nas.
Use Finder to connect to nas ip address, e.g. Go > Connect to Server > smb://88.88.3.1 While Multichannle is turn-on, MacPro6,1 could establish two channels across two Thunderbolt2 cables, so makes it reach write 1800 MB/s and read 2000 MB/s!
macOS 'smbutil multichannel' command could see there are two channels established:

% smbutil multichannel -a -x Session: /Volumes/850 id client IF server IF state server ip port speed ======================================================================================================================== M 22 bridge1 (Ethernet) 14 13 [session active ] 88.88.3.1 445 1.0 Gb ALT 23 bridge2 (Ethernet) 15 15 [session active ] 88.88.3.2 445 1.0 Gb

macOS 'nettop' command could see throughput of each/total channles.

nettop -dn -mtcp -twired -p kernel_task -Jinterface,state,bytes_in,bytes_out

aja write:

 interface state bytes_in bytes_out kernel_task.0 306 KiB 1852 MiB tcp4 88.88.1.1:49226<->88.88.3.1:445 bridge1 Established 153 KiB 926 MiB tcp4 88.88.1.2:49227<->88.88.3.2:445 bridge2 Established 153 KiB 926 MiB

aja read:

 interface state bytes_in bytes_out kernel_task.0 2059 MiB 503 KiB tcp4 88.88.1.1:49226<->88.88.3.1:445 bridge1 Established 1029 MiB 251 KiB tcp4 88.88.1.2:49227<->88.88.3.2:445 bridge2 Established 1029 MiB 251 KiB

When Multichannel is turn-off (this is for comparison with turn-on), transferring throughput could only reach 1000 MB/s on read and write.
Multichannel is turn-off, traffic is through one single Thunderbolt2 cable.
My environment:

client: MacPro6,1 (2013 late), macOS Monterey 12.6.1, six built-in Thunderbolt2 ports.
nas: TVS-h1288X, hero 5.1.6.2734 20240414, four Thunderbolt2 ports by two dual-port Thunderbolt2 cards TB-G2DP1, Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256GB x12.
client & nas are directly connected with two Thunderbolt2 cables.
Benchmark tool is AJA System Test Lite.

2024.05.14 19:01 Silent_Ad4553 Please Post a Photo of Your Gecko belly! (URGENT)

Hello! I am having some feeding difficulties for the past few months with my leopard gecko. Her activity levels are regular, she is still extremely active, curious, and fast. Her belly is soft (like usual) and shows no discoloration.
Concern: However, her refusal of food indicates possible impaction / egg-bound. As an ultrasound is remarkably expensive and can be traumatizing, I took advantage of the see-through-ness of leopard geckos.
I've cross compared these photos with x-rays and ultrasounds of impacted and egg-bound geckos, as well as an anatomy diagram of leopard geckos. I cannot find any similarities in her behavior or physical / internal appearance -- only her recent feeding issues, which may be related to the weathewinter habits of lizards.
I would MUCH appreciate if any of you could hold your healthy (or pregnant/egg-bound/impacted) gecko up to a flashlight and post a pic-- I desperately need more pictures / information to cross-compare with so I can make the best decision for her health (possible very expensive vet trip).

(No, the pictures/position does not hurt her. She's comfortable with me and held still, worry not)
Lower belly -- ovaries, intestines, primary cardiovascular system
Lower Anatomy + upper anatomy -- lungs, heart, intestines

2024.05.14 19:00 _hmmm Doctor told me I’m at “the end of the road”

I’m so sorry for the long post. Please read if you can:
I can’t express the grief and sadness I feel. I’ve had 2 miscarriages. About 3-4 canceled FET cycles because thin lining (ranging between 6-7.5mm). Before this most recent cycle, the doctor had me take Oralissa for 2 months for Adenomyosis (which was a new diagnosis after 2-3 years of doctors staring into my uterus) but it didn’t help my lining, in fact, after Oralissa my lining was the thinnest its ever been (~4mm).
I had a phone call with him yesterday where he basically said that my thin lining “could be” because of my 2 D&C. He asked me a range of questions trying to see if I have an infection in my uterus, but my answers were no to all the symptoms. He wants me to take 2 weeks of antibiotics anyway, which is fine.
Although I’ve had two hysteroscopy, and a biopsy for endometritis which came back negative, he feels that looking at the pictures of my uterus, there are areas that look red and inflamed which he thinks indicates endometritis. As a result, his next line of action is to have me take the antibiotics for two weeks and then depo Lupron for three months to treat me for an infection, adenomyosis, and endometritis. However, I have only been formally diagnosed with adenomyosis and the other two he’s just speculating that I have and wants to treat it.
The doctor also suggested I take human growth hormone medication which he says is experimental and has shown preliminary effectiveness for thin lining. He highlighted that its purely experimental and insurance companies rarely if ever cover it.
Of course, I asked him why he didn’t see the “red inflamed” areas of my uterus prior to my last failed FET, to which he admitted that he didn’t look at the pictures and was going off of the previous doctor’s diagnosis, but now that he’s looking at it himself, he sees it…
So, hearing all this information had me feeling very overwhelmed and fearful. I asked the doctor what happens if this new regimen that he came up with is not effective for me, to which he answered, “well it would be the end of the road” and that generally speaking surrogacy would be the next option if this failed. He also ended the phone call by saying, “good luck.”
I hung up the phone and I just couldn’t believe that this will be it for me. I guess a part of me thought that if this doesn’t work there would be other options.
I feel so defeated, and truly, for the first time, I actually feel very scared that I won’t become a mother. I feel depressed and hopeless today.

2024.05.14 18:59 No-Wonder7963 What are you like? (Further explanation will be added)

There is a stereotype I have seen of infjs in stories, whether it be a movie or a book, etc... That infjs are highly motivated individuals. Of course, stories do not portray real life infjs. But do you relate to it? The spectrum can go from the most popular charming kind to the wallflower nerd geek or basically invisible or some kind of genius, secret or not. I've also seen that we can either be the greatest evil of all existence or a driven force f good. We are either a psychopath or that we have the Martyr complex. I don't know why they portray infjs like that in fiction. But I want to understand if this is what infjs are like in real life. The only infj I know is myself, so It's hard to know if what another infj would be behave. I've only analyzed fictional ones.
To provide a better understanding of what characters I have seen, I will type a list of characters.

Lexi Howard (Euphoria)
Elsa (Frozen)
Charles Xavier (X-men)
Johan Liebert (Monster)
Chrollo Lucifer (HunterxHunter)
Paul Atreides (Dune)
Lisa Simpson (Simpson

***Prices are subject to change.

How to Pick the Right Air Purifier. Things to consider

Consider the Pollutants You Want to Target:

Allergens: Look for a purifier with a True HEPA filter, which captures particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander.
Smoke and odors: Opt for a purifier with an activated carbon filter, which tackles smoke, cooking smells, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Bacteria and viruses: Some purifiers use UV light or plasma ionization to kill airborne pathogens. However, their effectiveness and safety for long-term use are debated. Consider these features supplemental, not a replacement for true HEPA filtration.

Choose the Right Size for Your Space:

Air purifier capacity is measured in Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). Higher CADR indicates faster air cleaning in a larger room.
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) certifies CADR for smoke, dust, and pollen. Look for a CADR rating that covers your room size for the target pollutants.
A general rule: Choose a CADR at least 2/3 the square footage of the room. For example, a 300 CADR purifier is suitable for a 150 sq. ft. room.

Think About Noise Level and Energy Efficiency:

Air purifiers run continuously, so noise level is important. Look for models with decibel (dB) ratings that suit your preferences. Lower dB indicates quieter operation.
Energy Star certified purifiers use less energy, saving you money on electricity bills.

Additional Features to Consider:

Replacement filter costs: Factor in the cost and frequency of filter replacements. True HEPA filters typically need replacing every 6-12 months.
Smart features: Some purifiers offer Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing control through apps for scheduling, filter monitoring, and air quality checks.
Auto mode: This feature automatically adjusts fan speed based on air quality sensor readings.

What are the Benefits of Using Air Purifiers

Breathing clean air is essential for maintaining good health, and air purifiers offer a powerful tool to improve the quality of the air you breathe indoors. Here are some key benefits you can experience by using an air purifier:

Improved Respiratory Health: Air purifiers significantly reduce airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This can be especially beneficial for people suffering from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues. By removing these irritants, air purifiers can ease congestion, coughing, and difficulty breathing, allowing you to breathe easier and experience improved overall respiratory health.
Reduced Allergens and Dust: If you struggle with seasonal allergies or dust sensitivity, air purifiers can be a game-changer. HEPA filters effectively capture allergens as small as 0.3 microns, including pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. This can significantly reduce allergy symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing, leading to a more comfortable and allergy-free living environment.
Relief from Pet Dander and Smoke: Pet dander is a common allergen for many people, and air purifiers with HEPA filters can effectively remove it from the air. This can alleviate allergy symptoms triggered by pets and improve overall indoor air quality for pet owners and non-pet owners alike. Additionally, air purifiers with activated carbon filters can help reduce smoke particles and odors, providing relief for those living in areas with wildfires or those exposed to secondhand smoke.
Improved Sleep Quality: Clean air plays a vital role in getting a good night's sleep. Allergens and pollutants can disrupt sleep patterns by causing congestion, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Air purifiers can help by removing these irritants, creating a cleaner and more comfortable sleeping environment. This can lead to deeper, more restful sleep, leaving you feeling more energized and refreshed in the morning.
Reduced Risk of Airborne Illnesses: While air purifiers cannot eliminate viruses and bacteria entirely, some models with additional features like UV light or plasma ionization may help reduce their spread. Combined with other measures like proper ventilation and hygiene, air purifiers can contribute to a healthier indoor environment by potentially reducing the risk of airborne illnesses.
