  • I’d guess it’s the species that grow there. If they regularly see -40C they’d have to have evolved to cope with it.

    t could also be part of how they grow - i dunno maybe narrower / more flexible rings, better insulation, or better ways to store sap in winter conditions.

    I assume this is in an area where such a temperature is very rare.

    Most trees do have some radial cracks in them though - probably just some very rare cases those cracks get big enough for the tree to fall or split visibly on the outside and someone calls it an “explosion” for dramatic effect.




  • Thanks! You stopped me clinking the linked slop so i downvoted OP, but your comment made me look up the previous project and some of that made me feel slightly less bad about my own shitty ignorant failures with guitar effect circuits.

    If you actually know what you are doing, and you looked at the schematic and went “Linus is clearly way over his head, and that is just stupid”, whether it comes to parts choices or to just the circuit in general, please let me know.

    In particular, don’t feel like it would be impolite to tell me I’m incompetent and doing stupid things. I absolutely know I’m not competent and would love to hear any criticism. Some of the best teaching moments have been when I haven’t understood something, and somebody piped up to tell me I should do Xyz.

    I’m going to leave the link to the “Tremolo doubling as a metronome” issue from the 1590A pedal project, because that was a case of somebody (@gralco) coming in and very politely telling me I was doing stupid things.

    Pushing me to do simulations in KiCad completely changed the game. So don’t be shy to tell me my circuits suck. Because that’s literally why I do this!
