That issue was actually recalled and given an extended service warranty period, I think. Otherwise, those 2015 ones responded well to being baked in the oven, if you still have yours.

Can anyone explain why normal ventilators don't just use flow meters on compressed air with a solenoid? A standard pilot valve pneumatic solenoid can switch much faster than this. with regulated air pressure, and an air filter on the

I’ve found recently that ferrites really help with this. The electrical noise from large steppers is really erratic, but responds well to ferrite beads with 2-3 wraps. I put one at each end of the cable, since back-EMF is very real in large

I had actually used EMI shielded wires - but, I think I must have had a faulty connection from shield to ground. Practically speaking, EMI shielding is hard to get right if you're not a pro. I only recently got an Oscilloscope and was

Another downside to it is EMI. tying all the wires tight together increases the odds of any EMI problems vs letting them be loose in the wire duct. In a previous CNC machine, I zip tied everything together very carefully, but was getting ph

Completely agree. Theres also a difference between the wartime CEO who issues order and doesn't stop to consider every word. He says what he means, sometimes that isn't what others hear, sometimes it is abrasive, sometimes it runs

Some of us like this in our leaders. I guess I subconsciously want to hear the truth, and assume less subterfuge if people are not using political speech. Kindness and political speech have me second guessing, which is more uncomfortable th

And that silicone lubricant works quite nicely!

I agree with this wholly. I very much doubt that many people are building tools in bad faith to consume money. It’s just that in the end, “solve everything” means implementing 10:1 weird hacks for edge cases vs actual features that companie

I wonder if there needs to be some personal liability here, too. Many individual bankers have been banned from working in the industry for willfully ignoring the laws/rules. I wonder if that is necessary in this industry, too?

I didn't know Carlos, but when I've heard this sentiment before I've boiled it down to mean that you shouldn't solve _a_ problem, but instead solve _someone's_ problem.

I mean, whenever I have this problem, I fall back on my (terrible) SPSS habits and just recode NaN to -999. With integer datasets that mostly works fine. You could come up with some alternative solution, too. Personally, I'm an amateur

Also, increasing stock prices are usually a key component of corporate finance, which will yield job growth, or promotion, or investment inside the firm, which are all good for employees. Even if much of the wealth generated directly by sto

Lungs? They’re pretty big. My grandfather lived 60 years with only 1, and it stretched to fill most of his chest cavity.

Kind of selection bias, though. A lot of getting into college is dependent on already being an OK writer. I was pretty good when I got in, studied Econ, and was pretty ok when I got out, without much effort. I ended up with a job where I li

Yep - this is why I ultimately gave up on hosting Wordpress at all and just went with Pantheon. The managed service to deal with this was easily worth more than constantly being paranoid as to whether I was up to date with the most recent t

I buy so much stuff on amazon, and have never had a fake anything. Can you give more detail? I’d love to know at least what kind of product it was.

Check out XLwings. It can do some pretty handy stuff.

Not for CAD/CAM. I’ve tried it, but, for my money and time a mouse is way more effective for managing multiple, detailed selections.

A highly relevant read, to accompany “On the road” is “Hell’s Angels” by hunter s Thompson. I read them as a pair of books that examine both sides of that era. “fear and loathing in Las Vegas” pretty much closes the door on the Beat Generat

Strategy is choices we make to achieve a goal. Those choices represent implied utility through the reduction in optionality. Executing a strategy means making the trade offs between utility and opportunity cost, to arrive at a prioritizatio

Came here to say the same thing. There remain a plurality of jobs that literally require physical access to tools, systems, cash registers, customers, etc. I agree that where possible, remote should be allowed/encouraged. I also think

I think "Electric Jet" is like saying "Electric Internal Combustion Engine" - A Jet is a type of engine, so an electric aircraft wouldn't be a jet. I know people call Jet-powered aircraft "jets" but, that&

silicone ice trays are your friend here. Once it's frozen, put it in a bag. Works with pesto, fresh herbs (frozen in water), coconut milk, etc.

What is short division? I only remember being taught long division and having a calculator. Is there another method?

I guess I am the most unimpressed with his covers. To me, his harmonic choices and reharmonizations are always on the side of complexity rather than aural pleasure. I just want him to do more original stuff. FWIW, I find the Adam Neely&#x2F
