@eevblog @myenergiuk the tesla wall charger would not have this issue. the darn thing just works, and it does not care if the EV is not a tesla.

hey @DOGE something looks wrong with your math:

@neripulah @mrdoornbos @eevblog the one at the top is an E6B. on the right looks like an aviation calc I've never seen before. and now we know exactly where doornbos lives and how fast his airplane is (pretty fast!)😂

@DAILYDX thank goodness selling of ARRL merchandise is unaffected. this could have been a real disaster!

[Uncle Ziba @uncle_ziba]

@DX_World that dx prefix map looks rad!

@WallStreetSilv there has to be some way to port the existing low interest loan to a new home and preserve the rate. ie change the collateral for the mortgage to a different property. is this doable?

[Uncle Ziba @uncle_ziba]

@eevblog finally the important question!

[Uncle Ziba @uncle_ziba]

@ct1boh I'm still trying to think of a better solution but physically moving the Bouvet Island or Portugal could work, potentially ;)

@WallStreetSilv the store lost 100 * (1 - profit margin)

@matseng KiCad has a plugin to make traces curvy like that and you can add teardrops. Do that as the final step as they become hard to move around.. I don't know if there is any practical purpose other than looking cool. maybe electrons make the turns faster.. ;) @mccartydan @eevblog

@looking5452 @david_m_usa @eevblog the poll is correct that no sane person would "freeze" so much of actual cash for such a long period, without some form of protecting the value. although I'm sure it has been done before..

@looking5452 @david_m_usa @eevblog the current 20y u.s. treasury bond pays 5.13% annual interest. It would make sense lock cash in the bond, which means Dave will receive an addtl 1M over the lifespan of the bond, or more if reinvested. Overlay that on the inflation chart, for a more realistic picture. @eevblog

@odysseus0z @paulg @eladgil a good article should fall in the middle compression range. random gibberish does not compress at all. high compression means the article is redundant 😃

@eevblog the linked article says the exact opposite of the tweet title. pentagon sent 6.2 bil less than planned to ukraine. internet of shit..?

@RadiantPhysics @Edward_767 also he ran out of gas about 50 minutes after overflying KISP which seems to match up with the 45 min required reserve fuel.

@eevblog 4.8 to 9.6 kWh per day according to GPT-4. let’s see how bad it did. https://t.co/t2uxWYyjsN

@PhilipGreenspun CO comes from incomplete combustion, which is rare and easily seen w a naked eye (orange flames?). are there any other pollutants that cannot be so easily detected? I have an induction stove and it beats gas hands down in all aspects regardless of pollution levels.

@DX_World towering waves with crests blown off by the wind. this is not your average weekend warrior sailing weather :)

@HF_DXing life does not get better than that!
