20 GOTO 10

Aside from the sweet Only-in-San-Franciscoatude this Proposition is, the general hypothesis is that if de-prioritizing prosecution/arrest of prostitutes it allows more focus on violent crime, and it would allow hookers (sex workers) to more freely seek assitance (like violent crime against them).

a lot of people say this and that about everything, and both sides have all these arguments. but ideally (if you could somehow mitigate effects of populus migration and/or somehow divise a blind test) AB testing this type of thing would really be the best way to determine if it increases or decreases related crimes such as pimps, drugs, violent crime against sex workers (slappin hoes, etc).

if you dont know how to perform an AB test or the scientific method, i cant imagine how you can even begin to form any sort of rational argument, you’re just clearly a fuckin idiot. (ask yourself — do you know the scientific method?)

then again though, the whole legalization of medicinal marijuana is clearly a joke, every person i’ve ever known who has a weed card is clearly just using it to get high as fuck (although they arent doin anything wrong to no one, and they all have real jobs that pay fat dollars) so in the end, although all they are doin is gettin high on drugs, it aint that big a deal.

so ive been testing some really low quality op amps as audio amplifiers just to see how crappy they sound. in specific, the 741 (LM741CN) and the LM324 Quad Op Amp, both of which have normal uses.  for example, 741 can be found in a variety of applications, including guitar distortion pedals and my friend was using 324s for pulsing LEDs.  ive been able to get them to work in a basic non-inverting amplifier setup with like 11X gain. the 741works and actually has decent sound with 5X gain, but like 10X or higher has some pretty scratchy sound. it doesnt matter if you run the output through a cap or not, seems to generate audio either way.  the LM324 has to be at least 3X as shitty, you can make a craptastic quadraphonic spectacular with it since its a quad op amp. it will NOT drive headphones if you put a cap between the output and the headphones. it has some of the shittiest sound ever, even at gain=2 it sounds like total shit. it might work as some totally fancy guitar distortion pedal. either way, im putting these notes up because someone who just came into audio DIY crap might come across these shit amps and wonder, can you make audio amps from these? the answer is YES.
