That's fascinating. What would a good emergency vehicle siren sound like?

Oh! Of course.

Can't be right at all. Photo flash capacitors store hundreds of joules, and if you short them out all you get is a fairly exciting * pow* . Lightning strikes light trees on fire, melt sand, vaporize metal..

Yeah, it's great, and that's not the only one. Mac OS supports a whole bunch of emacs style text editing commands. I wish I could replicate in Linux.

I felt it worked as a reference. Yeah, it might explain something using concepts you don't understand, but you can backtrack as far as necessary, then start working your way back to where you started.

That is one of the goals of the new KiCAD DRC system. I really hope it pans out, because it's a great idea and ought to reduce friction for designers.

I think that's right. I found some envelopes at work with design documents for similar looking boards, and that's how they were made. Drawn on paper, laid out on clear film with tape and adhesive transfer pads, and photographicall

Wouldn't you want to compare it to the prices of other mixers, not video cards?

The context of that quote was alpine climbing. FWIW though, the local gym here is $70/mo and a day pass isn't cheap either. I'd love to join, but that's just too much for me.

You could use adhesive zip tie anchors, paired with velcro straps rather than zip ties.

What is your truck? RAM 3500s with Cummins diesels come in 7000lb configurations, but we're talking ~15mpg, nowhere close to a countryman.

You may be able to use a "drip feed" / DNC (direct numeric control) system, where NC code is fed to your machine from an external controller. At a previous company we had a modern PC on the network, with connections to ether

That's a good rule. People on this site often make arguments using analogies, and those threads always devolve into arguments about the specifics of the analogy. I have an amazing screenshot I saved where the discussion turns into some

Brits will have to concede to the French on that one. A French poncelet is 100kg raised one meter in one second, ~980W.

I've been doing some test runs with HP multijet fusion prints, and I think that would be a great technology to use for case like this. You likely would need a couple-few tries to get it right, but it cleans up very nicely. I really d

I like making stupid suggestions in brainstorming sessions. They make people laugh, they can help defuse things a bit, and on occasion, people say "wait... that's actually not a terrible idea" and it grows into something.

Excellent, problem solved. I was thinking somebody would have to contribute UI changes to an open source project, but it turns out flaming people on the internet is much easier.

Maybe name-calling and suggesting they should be mutilated isn't enough. What's your next step?

That's a neat idea, especially if you could set it up to do practice QSOs. iirc back in the day there were some programs that allowed you to connect a key/paddle to your computer by abusing the serial port.

This is definitely the way to go. If you can hear the shape of the symbols, it's much easier to advance in speed. I've used this method a couple times to learn all the letters, though I never seem to maintain my interest in it, an

We used to use acoustic couplers to allow computers to talk using a handset, back when Ma Bell didn't allow you to plug directly into the phone line.

I went through multiple Logitech Anywhere MX mice (two at work, one at home) because the switches they use have a short throw and the part of the top shell that pushes on them is a small sliver that gets indented over time. Once the indent

That's very nice. I really ought to make the switch to KDE, at least for a while to see what else I might be missing.

The land beneath and to the sides of the lines needs to be cleared to install and maintain the line. It doesn’t look bad in that photo because it’s not cutting through the forest. [edit] forgot a word

It pretty much is like building a highway. Transmission tower lines are very big and wide. We (in Maine) also suffered the results of a natural gas pipeline installation, with people’s yards taken by eminent domain laws to make way for the

Man, I'd be more skeeved out by the post-rinse ring-drying towel than the idea that somebody only wiped their ass with TP. If I can't smell it, you can't smell it, and I use my hands rather than my asshole to touch and grasp
