That looks great, much better than the original cardboard components

That's the official story at least, but we all know what's really going on. There are 10 seasons of documentary detailing what's really happening under that mountain.

They're not advertising or telling people to come to lemmy.world.... people are coming here and they're just accommodating them instead of blowing them off

Lol, I literally just saw a similar headline, read the result, and said the same thing just before seeing this post.

This is blowing my mind right now... Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people's ears...

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one... Is he renaming Twitter?

What's the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

Is this a humble brag for how many books you've read?

Wow this is really neat, I didn't realize sun spots occur in bands like this. I always assumed they occur across the whole surface

Lol, this one is great

Pegging Celsius to freezing/boiling point of water makes it VERY easy to calibrate thermometers. That's a huge advantage that makes it so anyone with a freezer and stove have a great reference point for calibration.

Check if it's food safe enamel, if it is then your good. If it's not then I'd avoid putting it in the tank.

This wouldn't work or make sense for cross posts in communities to have discussions specific to that community.

For example I run the [email protected] community. If a post from there is cross-posted in [email protected] their discussions about the coin would be different (focused around numismatic interests as opposed to cleaning focused discussion). It wouldn't make sense for the comments to be merged.

Then the Highlander games will begin.

It being strangely warm and heavy is just a hug showing you that it loves you to death.

Not always, it really depends on what the person who did the board layout or wrote the firmware thought. When I do a board/firmware I label it from the devices perspective, so the TX is where the bits I'm transmitting will be coming out of, RX is where I'm expecting your bits to be sent to. Others label it from the perspective of the device connecting to it. So TX is where you connect the line your sending bits from. To me that's wierd because, to others it's what they expect. There is no standard and the result is you end up hooking it to an oscilloscope and see which line bits are being sent from. Then you use the scope to figure out all the settings. If they don't transmit in power up then... Frustration ensures

Don't forget trying to guess if the RX label is the line they transmit out of or you transmit to.

What really gets me is he carves their names into a structure and adds the date. The date was 23... As if 23 means anything to a structure that was built by people who were around in the actual year 23.

That's odd, we use "a wee bit *" in the USA too, not a terribly common colloquialism but still used. On second thought, maybe not lol. I do read a lot, perhaps I picked up my familiarity with the phrase from books.
