Given that the wealth gap in the US seems so much bigger than any other country, I'd wager not.

I remember reading the same Roald Dahl short story about Royal Jelly as part of a book called The Great Automatic Grammatizator. His short stories were all great reads for an early teenager.

The software is still in a strange transition between the old layout engine and the new OpenGL one developed by CERN. I believe the old interface is being killed, but not immediately - you can switch between them as you use Pcbnew (KiCad&#x

+1 for using KiCad to draw the schematic - it's important to use open source software when you're developing open source hardware. The licences for Altium, Eagle and co can cost many hundreds or thousands of dollars/euros&#x2

This is exactly how I would like to use this feature, but from what I read, Firefox Sync only supports one of the accounts. Does that affect containers? I'd like to sync all of my bookmarks, history etc. from both work and personal con

That's what I generally do - but putting buttons and displays on the box is what requires drilling/milling.

CNC machines are also cheaper these days, but ones that can mill metal are more expensive ($2k+ as far as I've found). Too much for the casual hobbyist, I think.

by sleavey 9y ago
One downside I've found with hobbies like this: milling enclosures for the electronics is expensive in terms of either money (to have it done externally) or in terms of favours from your machinist colleagues. For anything beyond holes

I love this kind of stuff. I recently built a slow cooker controller to make yogurt that essentially consisted of an Atmel ATmega328 (same as the Arduino Uno) controlling a relay using a DS18B20 digital thermometer. Then, when I was buildin

Wait, Chrome logs your browsing history with Google? Actually, I'm not surprised.

The most popular theories say that yes, they do travel at the speed of light. Only a coincident detection of a gravitational wave and an electromagnetic counterpart would confirm this (such as from a binary neutron star coalescence; the bin

The vast majority of the big money comes from non-EU citizens studying in Scotland, who get charged double, triple or even more than English students, especially for subjects with good job prospects like business, law and medicine. I imagin

In Scotland, there are no tuition fees charged to anyone from the EU (except England and Wales - funny story - see bottom). I have a student loan from my studies, but it was only due to the need for living expenses, and the government insis

That "impact" scoring system is utterly useless. I hope it doesn't survive the next non-Tory government.

I also find the Aviation StackExchange site [1] interesting. The weekly newsletter [2] contains just enough interesting stuff for a mildly interested occasional flier like myself. [1] https://aviation.stackexchange.com/ [2]

A bit like BBC News, who regularly report on scandals at the BBC (most recently, the pay gap between male and female presenters).

What's the best supported graphics card line on Linux now and in the near future, anyway? I recently tried to search and it was difficult to get good information.

Well, if you're in ketosis, a spoon of ice cream will probably not kick you out, but a whole bowl would. It would replenish your muscles' glycogen supplies, and you'd be running on sugar for the next few days and get no benef

It's probably genetic. Some people can eat a high carb diet and feel fine, and not suffer the metabolic damage that others would. But that's definitely a minority of the world population. The Okinawans seem to eat a lot of a certa

Anecdotally: yes. I've heard from some long distance runners that the ketogenic diet makes it easier to endure exercise. Your body runs on fat, so as long as you have stores then you can keep going until your muscles start to waste a

I'd be careful about such statements. A reduction in bus usage in favour of car sharing (which is more comfortable and private) might mitigate any traffic benefit from reduction in individual car owners.

My solution is to use GnuCash with a git repository. I then use Google Keep to make notes of expenses on the go and once every few weeks I copy them in to the accounts. That way I get the full power of accounting software, with control of m
