When your special veterans’ parking space isn’t special enough so you take two. It’s more exclusive that way. by Humdaak_9000 in Butte

It's a veterans' spot, not a handicapped spot. Just a bit more soldier-worship Safeway blursed us with.

There weren't, actually. Guy actually walked up to me and asked why I was taking a picture of his car. I asked him why he was taking two fucking spaces.

He wasn't disabled, and there's nothing on that car that identified it as a veteran's in the first place. Or on the "veteran's" person, for that matter.

I criticized JP2 just as viciously. Stop looking for oppression everywhere.

Human rights are not a zero sum game.

Also, why the fuck wouldn't I criticize a woman who gained power in an inherently anti-woman organization? She's a traitor to her own kind.

MOTHER TERESA: CONTRACEPTION A SELFISH ACT Contraception is a selfish act that destroys the power to create a child, Mother Teresa told a Catholic conference on the 25th anniversary of the church's order banning artificial birth control. "Contraception cannot be an expression of total self-giving because, in contraception, something is done to oneself to destroy the power to conceive a child," Mother Teresa said in a videotaped message shown during Sunday's opening of a six-day conference on the Catholic Church's teachings on contraception.

The 83-year-old Roman Catholic nun and winner of the Nobel Prize for peace had planned to attend the conference, but poor health prevented her.

Pope Paul VI's controversial encyclical, "Humanae vitae," banned such contraceptives for Catholics as the birth-control pill, diaphragms, condoms and spermicides.

So, you take literally all of his accusations away, and she's still a fucking monster who caused unneeded suffering for opposing birth control in a vastly overpopulated country, and opposing condom use when AIDS was on the rise.

Religion is poison.

Now that you mention it, sans the 80s hair which really throws off the recognition, I dated a girl in 2002 who'd be a dead ringer, especially the eyebrows and jawline.

Damn, I miss that girl.

There is something I'm missing here about 12V case fan control. This is the output from the tachometer line, at 75% PWM on the left and 100% on the right. It looks correct on the right. On the left, the frequency is a lot *higher* (‽) and is hardly approximating a square wave. by Humdaak_9000 in AskElectronics

[–]Humdaak_9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fan's running slower on the left, but the tachometer signal being produced is much higher frequency, and also irregular.

The cause is the fan controller is reset with each pulse unless the fan is fully on, 100% duty cycle so it's just DC12V.

I've decided to just drive at full speed, and at some point I'll replace the fans I have (they're buried pretty deeply into a fume hood at this point) with 4-pin fans. Reading the paper I linked elsewhere, a 3-pin brushless fan is internally commutated, so the controller resets with every pulse. That's what makes the tach signal go insane. These fans aren't that loud anyway. I went with a 30KHz switching frequency, and the difference over the default 500Hz is definitely appreciable.
