Luckily, we went off Eagle a while ago. We used it mainly because we couldn't justify 4 Altium Licenses for our department. Building system prototypes and measurement equipment just isn't profitable enough inside a multi-billion U

In Germany it's legal to start working the moment you leave the compulsory 9 years of Education, where you are 15 or 16. Granted, you are then in the apprenticeship-system where half of the time you have to visit an apprenticeship scho

Yeah, that NASA press release is completely fine. Then it's just the BBC regurgitation that sounds demeaning.

I don't even care if it's the latter, because everyone in the astronaut program is someone who has earned that place on the mission. It's the way the press pushes that to the front that I find demeaning to those two exceptio

Living near the dutch border, you get "kaassouffle" in a lot of places. Its basically breaded, deep fried gouda cheese. While I love them, I always warn friends tasting them for the first time - they can really ruin your mouth.

That's why the only Tech-Co. in the US for which I always thought it's possible to build a car would be Apple. They give me the same vibes as all the German luxury OEMs I worked with - the 3 sound engineers per car just to dial i

Not really. Windscreen heating is quite common in the industry, and the patents lie with the glass suppliers (No Vehicle Company builds their glass themselves). Most common techniques are thin tungsten wires or a heatable thin metal layer w

This is straw, not hay or silage. Most straw is just used as ground cover in stables or re-tilled into the ground. What you are confusing it is round bales of hay packed to turn into fermented silage. So this is not feedstock, but just util
