@MrsCMFrancis Duck yeah!

@JulieChangRE @ScipioTheYoungr lol

[The Derek @Derek2137]

@JulieChangRE @ScipioTheYoungr Yeah - probably took the plumber less than an hour too

@JulieChangRE @ScipioTheYoungr My kids are like “why do I need to know how to do this? When I’m an adult I’ll just hire someone to do it” - but I tell them, even if you do, you should know whether it’s worth $100 or $1000.

@JulieChangRE People working value their time; it’s faster to just check the invoice and pay it vs sitting on it.

@Romy_Holland I don’t necessarily agree with all your choices but I strongly believe that you have the right to make them

@TheMovieMermaid Don’t worry, the Chinese hacker already sold subscriptions to watch you through that camera

@realEstateTrent $SGOV is what I use for short term cash

@aegrabs Close, like 3mm. Check module datasheet, they may want specific values for the decoupling caps. Generally you want one decoupling cap per power pin plus another larger one for the whole power rail.

@MrsCMFrancis If it’s Bass vs Pratt it’s going to be a big lift to get LA to vote for a non-democrat. But given how bad Bass has done this might be their shot

[The Derek @Derek2137]

@skylarromines @Romy_Holland I would have thought they are mutually exclusive

[The Derek @Derek2137]

@haydendevs Hot plate plus 1/4” thick disc of Al. But lead less parts like that module can be difficult. Also use a paste stencil - Osh Stencils or equivalent

@blind_via 0.100” all the way
