...And you are listening to music for them. Although "C is for Conifers" (by They Might Be Giants) is pretty good by toddler-music-genre standards.

Do you generally limit yourself to the parts that JLC stocks? Or do you send them reels with the parts you want to use? Or will they order the parts you want? Last I looked, I don't see that they have any Microchip microcontrollers

Buy yourself some laser-cut paste-mask stencils out of Mylar ( https://www.pololu.com/product/446/ ). Get the room-temperature stable solder paste from Chip Quick ( https://www.chipquik.com/store&#x2

Yeah but the real bug is the trying to roll-your-own, instead of using a `ERB.escape_tainted_input` method or somesuch. Either that method doesn't exist, which seems like major mis-feature, or the author didn't know about it, or

Still seems like that is broken. Shouldn't they be escaping whatever control characters? Like if your user wanted to highlight "Now 75% off". Seems like it is reasonable to want to allow that.

Looks like something went wrong with your cut-and-paste: >Let us think of x as a quantity that can grow by a small amount so as to become x + dx , where dx is the small increment added by growth. The square of this is x ²+2 x ⋅ dx

Will be interesting for sure to see how the other non-American companies (Kia, Nissan, Toyota, etc) cope with the entry of lower cost Chinese cars into the U.S.. Does anyone know if you can buy Chinese made cars in Japan?
