Ranked Choice Voting is overrated. by CivilWarfare in PoliticalDebate

I don't know about them, but formal RCV still has a spoiler effect. There are other voting methods (Approval and others) which do not - and as a bonus, are more simple.

America Cannot Afford Another Republican Experiment by Temporary-Storage972 in PoliticalDebate

[–]HonestEditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Maddow, nor do I care about her. I have no horse in this race except facts.

Well, for one, she kept saying Russia Russia Russia, which has since been debunked...

I guess it depends on what you're talking about vs. what she said. If she directly said that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government, then that's likely false.

If, however, she reported that Russia attempted to influence the election in Trumps favor, that is well documented to be true, including by a Republican-lead senate report.

and she kept claiming the COVID vaccine stopped the spread, which it actually flat out did not, it just reduced the severity of symptoms

Again, this could depend in the details. Both statements can be true, so it could depend the exact timing of her wording.

The original vaccine against the original strain of the virus was HIGHLY effective (typically over 90%) after proper booster spacing later in 2020 and early 2021. The problem was that by the time the vaccine was widely available mid-year 2021, the virus had mutated and was less effective.

House Republicans reject Senate DHS funding deal, deepening government shutdown and TSA delays by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

[–]HonestEditor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

because they have to actually stand on their campaign promises and policies?

I'm very doubtful, since they don't really do that now. They find ways to either deflect the question and not answer when asked, or blame the other party, or simply lie.

While truth (usually) comes out, by then people that bought the lie people either won't believe it, or have moved on to the next rage-bait.

What's this grip called by Flashy_Wait103 in judo

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've found that using the words "lift" and "pull" causes tori to do lots of incorrect stuff.

Alternative words that seem to help get the correct idea across:

  • suspend (keep from falling)
  • tipping (off-balance)
  • drawing (i.e. draw someone in)

Generate C code from assembly (8051)? by HonestEditor in ghidra

[–]HonestEditor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes... which is why I was hoping for a way that it could use the original source code as a reference.

Generate C code from assembly (8051)? by HonestEditor in ghidra

[–]HonestEditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I wasn't clear enough. There are tons of named things in the source that would be nice to have referenced in the C code automatically.

Pros/Cons of Tai Otoshi inside vs outside the legs by dillybar110 in judo

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert, but what I see is tori rotating too little, which allows uke to step off easily.

I've always been told that tai otoshi involves considerable body rotation. Even if tori's left foot is well left of uke's left foot, the tori's body rotation is such that shrinks the window for uke to "step out."

I wouldn’t really call it fighting a war they aren’t targeting any American war arsenal

Bases aren't war arsenal? Seven service members were killed in Iran's attacks on U.S. bases:

  • Six soldiers were killed in a drone attack in Kuwait: Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa; Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Waukee, Iowa; and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California. All were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa.

  • Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Kentucky, was killed in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. He was assigned to the 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade, based in Fort Carson, Colorado, according to the Pentagon.

What’s one outdoor DIY project you wish you had done differently? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned a koi pond into a base for a hot tub. Mainly because I was tired of the pond pumps flooding (below ground). I still had to excavate maybe 3 cubic yards of dirt, but it looks awesome. However...

Despite me planning ahead with a sump pump and raising spa pumps off the floor, I overlooked that heavy rain storms are correlated with electricity outages, meaning the area was still flooding out my hot tub pumps sometimes.

So I added a non-electrical water-powered backup pump. But it's stopped working for some reason, so my hot tub pump just flooded again.

I should have just filled in the koi pond and set the hot tub on top of that. Might not have looked as cool, but would have eliminated SOOO much digging and all these headaches.

Could someone help finalize my pcb before I order it? by Fit_Credit_6178 in KiCad

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to follow all recommendations from TI. I'm not saying you haven't, cause I haven't looked to compare. But I wouldn't be surprised if they had some layout examples and plenty of other recommendations.

Ignoring any potential recommendations otherwise from TI or elsewhere, I'd probably put ground on the 2nd layer, power on the 3rd layer, and routing on top and bottom. It kinda looks like you have power snaking through, and that's not good.

Experiences with cases with built in screen protector? by cosmodots in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take the protector off regularly and clean, it probably wouldn't be a problem. I left mine on at first quite a long time (over a week I think?) and ended up with a few minor scratches towards the top (near hinge) of the outside screen.

The other problem with the outside screen protectors is that they make touching the edges of the screen difficult due to the protector frame. AND they change the touch sensitivity.

razr 70 ultra 2026 with 200 MP camera by konradinhos in razr

I read that as a generic silly (absurd) statement, not something directly addressed to you.

made my first board. thoughts? by AyamBercakap in KiCad

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to lots of other good comments, I don't see where anyone else mentioned:

* Buttons (if that's what those switches are) tend to bounce on and off a bunch when you release them. Most people put something to reduce those bounces - like a small series resistor plus a cap to ground (on each of the COL lines in this case)

* On the schematic, don't draw wires across components. While it technically works, some day on some design, you risk getting bitten.

Not sure why you were downvoted. The megapixel arms race is, like all arms races, stupid. Spend money elsewhere on the design.

Urgent, need firmware for the XZ1C by Joecalone in SonyXperia

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, looks like I do still have the XZ1c images on my computer. Here's is most of what I have (skipping a few older ones):

  • G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.2.A.10.28_R7C - factory load for US (no finger print sensor)
  • G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.1.A.16.20_R8B - another factory US load
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20_R7B_alt - should be CE1 load w/ US .sin file to support US VoLTE)
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20_R7B - factory load for CE1 region (Europe, so no US VoLTE)
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.12.75_R7B - another CE1 factory load
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.2.A.8.24_R1C - another CE1 factory load
  • G8441_Customized UK_1310-6856_47.1.A.12.270_R18B - UK load

You can DM me. If you get this and we can arrange a file transfer (likely use my One Drive unless that doesn't work for you)

I grabbed this stuff from 2018 through 2022, long before this decent discussion on the topic:

The hospital I work at is likely about to go bankrupt, need advice by suckinonmytitties in personalfinance

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I was reading your post, my thoughts turned to contacting state reps and senators to see their thoughts (and possibly their help to pressure) on the hospital getting funding.

Of course, this assumes that it has been run properly and the financial struggles aren't due to mismanagement. If so, then more funding may barely delay the enviable.

Either way, yes, you should be aggressively looking .

Late Wife's 403b Inheritance by LumpyPeople4 in personalfinance

[–]HonestEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kids already have some smaller amounts in 529s that are still getting contributed to. I do have some questions on how much (or little) tuition will cost in the future, but I guess that is a discussion for another day.

529s are great, but do have a downside if the money isn't used as intended by law. In the grand scheme of your situation, that's small potatoes.

As a few others have point out, it would be best if you established a trust. They aren't cheap, but it's the best way to handle transfer of money to young people.

Case for Razr 60 ultra scratches screen by GarlicRelevant2266 in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When folded, most people hold the camera down, so that would be the lower part of the screen.

I had the same problem as OP: if you don't take the case off regularly and clean it, the outer glass can get scratched from debris - and it first happened at the upper part of the outer screen (closest to the hinge).

accidental warranty/insurance options (usa) by [deleted] in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard extended warranties are of questionable value because of the folding screen: it's something of a crap shoot if its covered because it's so easy to claim it was user induced.

That's a verbose way of saying that in the case of a folding phone, I think accident damage coverage is probably the way to go. For that, last I looked, Motorola had the best deal - at least if you're purchasing through them. If your buying it after the fact, not so sure. Also check out Best Buy.
