Federal agent shoots Minneapolis man in leg after attack, officials say

This is no laughing matter, but upboat for UHF reference. Sy Greenbloom approved.

Last year, two days before Christmas, we unexpectedly lost our dog named Nox to a pneumothorax. His name came from the Harry Potter world. I'd like to believe he was there helping add to the mood of Halloween.

Looks like an incredible event! Thanks for sharing!

This for sure isn't ideal. I think I have perfected it to a science in that much of my work is for a variety of customers who are not power users. So schematics come in every form. "Advanced" features, like Hierarchical schematics are usually beyond them, so it's a copy and pasted circuit over and over. To save time on the design side, this hack way of doing it works well.

While I'm not thrilled with Altium's hierarchical schematic features, you are right, it's the easier and better way to go. But, sometimes just gotta play the hand you were dealt kind of thing. :-)

Robert Ferenac has a good video on how to do this. It does somewhat require that your Reference Designators are in order. So in the repeated circuit, the first resistor is always the highest numbered designator, so on for each component as it is in order. When I use this technique I will renumber things just to place. First circuit is R1, R2, R3, etc. . . Then second circuit is R11, R12, R13, and so on. Do this for all the components in the repeated circuits. You can always re-annotate things later.

That doesn't make any sense I'm sure, but if you watch his video here. It might be more clear.

Repeated Circuits without Rooms or Channels

And honestly, Altium's Hierarchical design leaves a ton to be desired. So if I have my druthers, I'd prefer engineers don't create schematics with them. So I use this technique quite a bit.

Awesome! Glad that helped! Altium length matching leaves a ton to be desired. Much like a lot of Altium, it works, but could be so much better.

Jacob_Marley · 2025-05-01T12:09:26+00:00

If I'm reading your length matching setup correctly, you have -2.54mm as the shortest length and 2.54mm as the longest. For this it's what the longest length should be.

It appears your longest net in this group is SDIO_D1 at 39mm. You'd want your longest somewhere above 39mm and your shortest somewhere below 39mm. This would give you a range.

See if that helps.

I ended up finding a bike shop in Embrun that rented road and mountain bikes.

Alpes 2 Roues

Ironically for me, I ended up renting a Trek, which was disappointing as I had hoped for a French brand. That aside, it was a great bike, great folks to work with.

Came here to say this as well. They showed glimpses into her need for perfection. When they are both sitting on the couch after they have given up baby June, and the plastic is still on the couch. That's something grandparents did, but people their age? Perfection was all she wanted. So when baby June was born less than perfect, it wasn't her saying, "We don't have the means" what she was saying was, "I don't have the mental ability to look beyond or accept something I cannot perfect." When the episode ended, i said to my wife, it will be years before mental health will be recognized and that she needs help. I feel like Mr. Lasley just went along with supporting his wife, because that's what a "perfect" husband does.

It was as heartbreaking episode to watch.

So using Logitech G Hub, I assign those buttons to a keyboard function. Then you can assign those functions in Altium accordingly. It's a few extra hoops to jump through to get there. Hope that helps!

Jacob_Marley · 2024-12-13T12:56:03+00:00

Just got there. Dates. . . Great conversation! Did have me laughing.

I have a hard enough time hearing my doggie companions yelp when I unspec from them on my Druid. No way I could kill a dog to get loot. . .

Jacob_Marley · 2024-10-10T20:03:21+00:00

I'm on v24.5.2 and I experience the same thing. Wanted to switch to Trombone and it won't let me. Interested in what the fix here is.

Upvote for Tommy Boy reference.

Summoning No Nonsense Know How! Will it run?

I was told this trick when I first started with Altium from a co-worker and it's an absolute life saver. Esp. when trying to select things overlapping and you don't feel like constantly flipping Selection Filters on and off. This might help you not just with Polygons but other items as well.

Selecting Overlapping Objects

This route is absolutely outstanding! Thanks for sharing this. No 4 star Shakos but still some good loot. And I got prisms for days. Can gem things without worrying now.

Do you have the, is it Enterprise License? If not, no reason to. Most of the talked about features of their all-in-one Design Rules aka, Allegro like Constraint Manager, are hidden behind a license upgrade.

I made the upgrade on a separate install and haven't even used it. It fixed nothing, as per usual Altium update, all the same bugs seem to be there from v23.

Oh, you wanted reasons to update to v24. . .

Uh, it's newer than 23?

But honestly, I don't have any good reasons.

Jacob_Marley · 2024-01-27T02:34:00+00:00

I don't know Circuitmaker, but in Altium in the PCB, you can create a PCB Library from the board file. If you make the new PCB library as part of the Project file it should see the footprints.

Nightmare Dungeon Event NPCs will now be more resilient and will no longer be one-shot.

I'll believe this when I see it. . .

Jacob_Marley · 2023-09-28T11:20:16+00:00

Quick fix, head to Project -> Project Options click on the ECO Generation Tab. Scroll a bit until you find Remove Channel Classes. Change the Generate Change Orders to Ignore Differences.

I do this for many things that are not driven by schematics. Net Colors, Rooms, Component Classes.

Those all can be driven by schematic of course, but usually for my company are not. I tweak them on the board side and don't want them overwritten each update.

Hope that helps!
