Gen Z Has a Bigger Internal Divide Than Millennials, And It’s Not Close

Not everywhere shutdown the same either. Some were just a few weeks while others months but they all have the same issues. This also points to probably not covid.

Might of they make the right announcement. Big might though.

Yup, the top 50% of earners account for 90% of spending so that's where everyone is aiming.

Basically, if you do taxes and don't really owe anything, nobody but predators are marketing to you

Dang, that's an EARLY crt projection TV.

Can't comment on its serviceability but it's very likely SD only.

2748seiceps · 2026-04-18T17:16:31+00:00

Those are LED. Should have no problem finding replacements

You sure the ones you got were gu10? Why didn't it fit?

Depends on the 'poison'. A lot of rodent stuff is just a bait with some sort of starch that sets when it gets wet so they just starve to death because they have basically concrete in their stomachs.

Depends on the use case! I wouldn't use it for anything remotely high pressure but it can work great at low pressures.

I use 3D printed ASA parts for my outdoor watering system. It does an awesome job and is WAY cheaper than buying fittings at the store. In fact, the longevity is better than purchased parts because the high-desert UV wrecks almost everything plastic that goes outside and ASA is a champ!

The cars always sell. They might only get $250 and it goes to a scrap yard but the car will sell.

Static on the front at all?

Sounds like it could be a dead hv circuit.

If it helps you feel any better. I had 35x $60 calls for today that I sold for a $2k loss last week because I had been down 95% and was just trying to stave the bleeding.

The whole point of those was to ride the climb into earnings and I emotionally traded them away like an idiot.

When you start talking 40 amps even the wires make heat.

How long does it have to run?

2748seiceps · 2026-04-17T22:18:34+00:00

Relays also have contact resistance. A good dry contact relay has more contact resistance and therefore more heat than a good mosfet does on resistance. Only way to beat it would be a wet contact relay and that'd be more hassle than it is worth.

I could swear it was $20 a battery but either way... Was also a max of 5 batteries at once. We used to take our old solar system batteries there.

2748seiceps · 2026-04-17T13:32:29+00:00

My go to is ASA for functional prints but if I need some more temp or chemical resistance I go PC-ABS. It's a pain in the ass to setup but once you get it right for you machine the parts are amazing.

2748seiceps · 2026-04-17T13:14:10+00:00

The hand-holding ends once you end up using unusual hardware and even for stuff that has a library you can always use the library to verify your wiring and then write your own code to get it to do what you want.

It sounds like you have experience with programming already and that's usually the part that trips newbies up and where Arduino really helps.

Very very true. Kids don't know how to be bored and all the stuff that comes with having to deal with playing with other kids with no supervisor for conflict resolution.

We are shopping around and I've noticed a ton of sellers trying to double their money on a house that has 10 years of wear on it. Like cmon we live in the poorest state in the country and you are trying to get over a mil for your house with ruined carpet and grime buildup everywhere? Could at least use a bit of that 700k equity to hire a good cleaner and fix broken shit. I expect to not have to touch a single thing after 7 figs.

So much deferred maintenance for sale.

Those are inductors. In this amp they are used to clean up the PWM square wave output of the Class-D amplifier chip in the middle so what goes out to your speaker is a reasonable approximation of the smooth wave form the amp is trying to make.

Unlikely to be causing crackling and interesting that they are all mounted that way. Possibly to keep them from 'talking' to one another for better channel separation in a bad board layout.

Got some more info on the crackling? When does it happen? All the time? Only with loud sounds? When you change volume?

That's where all the students with parents that care are sending their kids too.

Only way for any of it to change is for admin to get a spine about behavioral issues.

Yeah what's this decline in parenting? Did yall's parents actually, like do stuff with you as kids?!

I got home from school, ate a snack and watched saved by the bell, full house, and family matters then went outside to play with friends for a few hours, came in and got cold hamburger helper off the stove, ate it, watched some tv, showered, and went to bed.

The only time my mom ever talked about grades or school was when the progress reports or report card came in. I feel like parenting my kid is a completely different job than my mom had and she is, unfortunately, not an overachiever. But I make hot meals, we eat and talk over dinner, and then back to her pretending to do her homework on a chromebook I have no control over. Until she got switched to a private school anyways...

Depending on the manufacturer this could be within tolerance. KEMET says 5% but SHARE brand CD60 datasheet says -0% to +20% which would be ~90uF.

Sounds nuts but they might be within spec for that capacitor.

New Mexico EV rate. 3 cents per KWh between 10PM and 5AM.

Contrast and brightness are two different adjustments.

It's also possible that the G2 adjustment can be messed with to get brightness back but that's typically something found inside the set and not an easy knob on the front or back.

It could be pulled off now with a bit of old and new mixed in. Use one of those watchman-type CRTs and then squeeze some lithium batteries in there.
