  • Honestly off the top of my head I wouldn’t know that the Niger is Africa’s third longest river, so I’m glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.

    Besides… it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what’s tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"
















  • 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.
