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

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.

Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere online. It doesn't help that there is no brand name on it ;)

EDIT: The product is http://milebv.eu/index.php/products/product/25 (thanks to @[email protected] for finding it!)

I used to buy this at a local vegan store (veganz at Warschauerstr in Berlin), but that store closed a while ago.

It was the most amazing mock duck I've had, but now I can't find it anywhere else. All I have is this picture (I don't even remember why I took it, probably to tell someone how amazing it is).

As far as I recall the product was made in Taiwan, not sure if that helps.

Of course, any other suggestions for tasty mock duck are welcome too, since I just love this stuff 😋

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:

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.

Does this mean jd vance is a centipede?

Sounds great, except i think this whole thing is about some punching game.. Not sure though, i'm not a sports person

What kind of screw is this? (discuss.tchncs.de)

EDIT: I believe I found the answer, it's something turned by this: https://ctatools.com/products/5065

Found some trash on the street that i'd like to take apart, but this screw is in my way.

It's like a hex bolt, but with 5 sides, and rounded (a bit like flower petals).

Here's another picture from the top:

I tried turning it with various tools (hard to get pliars in unfortunately), no success so far. The material is very soft, which doesn't help..

 

I have a whole bunch of them. They are possibly a bit older (70s, 80s) judging by other contents of the junk box they are from.

There are no labels of any kind, but on the top they have stripes that look hand painted.

For at least some of them the resistance roughly corresponds to the color code.

So, I'm just curious why I can't find anything about these on the internet.
