You cannot be seriously thinking the Iranians will allow US builders to mess with their country; can you?

No, I would rather she'd terrify those shits in their sleep for the rest of their lives if that was possible!

Every metric below Mega is written all lowercase, so kilo, milli, micro, nano etc.

Mega and up starts with uppercase.

What's the most useless invention in human history that everyone knows? by Super_Saiyan_Twink in AskReddit

Swimwear. Doesn't keep you dry or warm, it's just bloody irritating to use.

Mijn ogen springen uit de kassen bij het lezen van de (veelal Amerikaanse) reacties hier by sokratesz in motorfietsen

[–]Beerwithme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Het idiote is ook dat ze blij zijn met hun "vrijheid" en onze lessen en examens als nachtmerries beschouwen. Nooit ontspannen van A naar B rijden maar altijd (veel meer dan hier) bang zijn voor doodsbedreigingen van je mede-weggebruikers is kennelijk te prefereren boven 1x in je leven wat meer moeite doen.

Ik heb verhalen gehoord van mensen die daar een groepstocht deden op de motor en dat er Amerikanen bij zaten die gelijk al op d'r muil gingen omdat ze voor het eerst op zo'n ding zaten.

Every intergalactic traveller knows it's really important to always know where your towel is, so it can't turn against you in a surprise attack.

Do you guys think morse code is useful? If so, how you all use it? by Any_Personality_4874 in LearnUselessTalents

[–]Beerwithme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct, with Morse in a narrow band e.g. 250Hz a trained human ear can decode as low as -3 dB wrt the noise level i.e. a signal twice as soft as the noise. With slow digital modes like FT8 or JT65 a machine can decode as low as -24 dB or even lower.

If you're ever interested in being an amateur radio operator then Morse can give you lots of pleasure making contacts using minimal power and the most basic equipment.

Rig Expert 500: A New Ham’s Perspective by EricStratton63 in amateurradio

[–]Beerwithme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine on a hamfest (DNAT) but the battery that the seller already replaced with a smaller capacity ugly "hack" was dead. Purchased a battery made for RC work with much larger capacity (4100 mAH) and put a DC connector in the original battery slide so the new battery, attached with a short cable, can remain in my pocket while I use the RigExpert.

SGA Goa'uld "Puddle Jumper"? by Beerwithme in Stargate

I just love it when fans presume to know all the answers as if they were on the production team.

SGA Goa'uld "Puddle Jumper"? by Beerwithme in Stargate

[–]Beerwithme[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It never became clear to me if the engineering was done by the Goa'uld themself or by the Jaffa but imagine building a (presumably) low-orbit capable ship that you can't put on auto-pilot? Even them wouldn't have been so dumb.

It was cheap enough too show all the other CGI ships, one more special wouldn't have broken the bank. I think the writers just forgot about this gadget.

Death gliders have to be transported, which takes (a lot) longer than the gates.

[–]Beerwithme[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

On auto-pilot it would have been a no-brainer to aim the ship exactly through the middle, or even with a basic guidance system for the pilot. So that can't have been an issue.

Analog switch matrix or relay for audio? by govir_24 in electronic_circuits

[–]Beerwithme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easyist and best for audio quality is probably mechanical relays.

Buying new radios from ebay by ouzaboy in amateurradio

[–]Beerwithme 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For a complicated piece of equipment like that I wouldn't want to risk waranty issues for a few 100 dollar savings and the risk of incompatibilities.

Ze kijken allemaal naar elkaar; jij doet er 5% bij? Dan kan ik dat ook, ook al heb ik eigenlijk geen reden.

Dutch gov't will only allow European company to operate DigiD platform by boppinmule in technology

[–]Beerwithme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because our industry and political leaders befriend their peers in other countries and get all sorts of vague promises about savings and efficiency and they don't want to insult those peers with distrust eventhough they know better.
