do caps have frequency responses??
They do! The frequency response of an ideal cap like @sodium_nitride@hexbear.net and @GiorgioBoymoder@hexbear.net describe is quite simple: infinite impedance at DC, dropping to low impedance at high frequencies. Specifically the formula is |Z| = 1/(2*pi*f*C) where |Z| is the magnitude of the impedance in ohms, f is the frequency in hertz, and C is capacitance in Farads.
But real world caps have much more interesting frequency responses! A real non-ideal cap has both inductance and resistance as well. In general, capacitors will have a resonant frequency where their impedance is at a minimum, and above that frequency they behave like an inductor while below they behave like a capacitor:
Depending on the type of capacitor, they they can also introduce significant levels of distortion to the signal since some behave non-linearly: their capacitance changes with the voltage of the signal. I think multi layer ceramic caps are notorious for this and are usually very undesirable to have in signal paths. And I think tantalum caps exhibit this as well, though less severely. Here is an example curve:
Body image stuff
Being heavy before HRT and earlier on in the process caused me so much dysphoria. But omg I’m starting to enjoy it now? I have a wonderfully soft and squishy tummy, and looking in the mirror now I just look good to myself.
Part of this has been working on my own body image and unlearning fat-phobia. Which like most forms of bigotry, the internalized form seems to have taken the longest to counteract.
But also, as I’m starting to slowly approach the 2 year mark on hrt, the fat redistribution is becoming more noticeable.
Fuck yeah capacitors mega! Excellent choice :)

Thank you!
3·6 days agoI’m behind too
I have no idea where the week went but fuck it I will figure it out somehow.
That’s awful I’m sorry that happened :(
I am so incredibly tired, I want to nap but it’s too late for that, and too early to sleep.
Can you add me to the list?
Thank you, that sounds similar to my own patterns. I guess I should probably look into actually medicating my ADHD…
It’s so nice hearing about this! And I’m so glad things have turned around so much
If I could ask, did you go through phases of struggling to get back into hobbies after periods of depression? And if so, how did you deal with it?
I’m currently struggling with this where I’m doing a lot better now, but I’ve been neglecting the things that bring me joy long enough that I’m struggling to pick them back up.
This is true but I’d like to add that gender affirming care doesn’t necessarily solve depression. It will help in probably almost all cases, and sometimes that really is the only thing driving depression and it does completely solve it. I just wanted to put that out there.
This is some advanced level imposter syndrome.
What if I told you that wanting to be gay with women isn’t a cis thought?
God I really wanna quit too. I hope we both get to do so on our own terms.
I’m gonna have to see if I can find an actual original source for this tomorrow when I’m awake.
