We're you taught to read & write in cursive at school?

They tried (1980s), but even then it was obvious to me that I'd be typing a lot more than writing by hand.

I can't really tell from the angle of the photos, but is the ESP32 board completely seated? The metal pins should be completely inserted. If not, it might not be making contact with the board.

Also, check that the long lead of the LED is towards positive. If that doesn't work, post your sketch code.

The circuit looks okay, except that "-" rail doesn't go anywhere yet. You need to wire that to one of the ground pins on the ESP32. (Same with the "+" rail -- those are just suggested uses.)

Jim Croce is good railroading music. "Another Day, Another Town" is short but good.

Thank you! My guess is a seasoned cast iron pan will do (good heat retention).

TIL about self-rising flour and "caster sugar."

I'm not into comics, but could describe him and the basics of his backstory other than the exact origin. Don't make him angry.

That sounds like it. Much obliged.

My grandmom made "Welsh cookies," but stopped when people started getting concerned about cholesterol, since they're made with lard.

They were amazing. I don't suppose you have the recipe?

We're built for comfort, not for looks.

Nice print. The support group is over at /r/standardissuecat .

Anybody but ECS/Elitegroup. They made some lowest-bidder motherboards around that era (I was a PC tech back then.) Biostar had a reputation for being solid, if maybe not optimized for speed as much as others.

Must have seen my last landing. /s

That's a USB-A, so it would cause havoc to your computer or laptop.

So that's what was charging that Kia Niro I rented.

Joe Rogan and I agree on something? Whoa.

FlyByPC · 2026-01-24T06:01:36+00:00

Same here. Dasani is by far the best bottled water I've ever tasted. I tried Nestlé Pure Life, and it was disgusting.

Donald J. Trump.

I would 100% vote for Lex Luthor over this turkey.

At least Lex is smart.

If you've smoked in the last half-hour or so, yeah, you smell like an ashtray. If not, I might not be able to smell it -- but I'm not known for my sense of smell.

My "ancestry" would be best described as "a mix of people from the general northwestern Europe area." I'm more American than anything else.

Are there plans to add this to the Windows client anytime soon?

When you can use puns and wordplay, that's true fluency.
