@mightyohm @KB7ZUT Buy the cheapest magnet wire from any chinese website and it will be solder strippable. Expensive wire has better insulation.

@vikasreddy I got Dunkin coffee in NYC once. The cashier asked me how many creams and sugars I wanted. I said "none, just black please" and everyone behind the counter turned and looked at me like I was an alien. The cashier hesitantly handed me the coffee. The coffee was really bad.

@mightyohm At least it doesn't leave any residue behind when in evaporates into the ozone layer!

@eevblog Just saw it. It was good! They really dialed down the camp and made it about as good as 1 and 3.

@maiab @galenward Why not just get two smaller ones? Some people have two dishwashers!

@DanielBogdanoff Those double open ended box wrenches are my favorite. It makes it really space efficient to have a whole set of wrenches.

@vikasreddy Remember when the city council and a bunch of staff took a long trip to Portland to study their ADU policy and then took several years to craft a really restrictive one?

@galenward @maiab I think you can be lower than 60 if you aren't an engineer, but there isn't a level 1 as far as I know.

@natosaichek @dweekly They'll waive at least half of those disqualifiers if they need to. They waived all sorts of stuff during the height of the Iraq/Afghanistan years.

@OsmanParvez @CHThiem Are you saying there are people that are against building libraries? I don't get it.

@ShaneHuntley I miss good xiaolongbao.

@UdderDevin @Helene731 @loveleekss @laurenthehough No, they don't. This was true 10 years ago but not on any airline I have flown recently.

@borismus What do you think drives the diesel or nuclear submarine's propeller?

@galenward @JohnLovell60 Induction stoves convert AC to DC and then back to AC. Incoming AC power is 60 Hz and the stove operates in the kHz range.

There are advantages to both AC and DC, but recent semiconductor advances have made DC power transmission more practical.

@vikasreddy Microsoft is still using Yammer internally. My main interaction with it is when the host executive all-hands meetings on the platform. Every so often I check out the "US Political Lounge" and it is an absolute tire fire of election deniers and so forth.

@jrsikken TI is a risky bet for parts these days.
