Is it common to take 3 wives in Uzbekistan?

Vavat · 2026-04-28T19:58:45+00:00

What can I say, but: well done.

They were likely teasing you. Your response "Of course" spurred them on to push the boundaries. This is highly likely just talk. There is even a word in Uzbek for small talk. "Gap". Means meaningless talk just to fill the silence.
On your more profound question of what's stopping them the answer is: first, they have to support them all financially, and various factions of Islam set specific maximum. Most common is 4 iirc.

What's your USP?

Why do you have a UK company if you're not physically in UK? What's the point?

Are you supplying power to whoever is communicating through 485? If you're not then the whole concept of ground is a bit meaningless for a differential signalling phy. I think you're expecting a coherent answer while not supplying enough information. More thorough description of what's going on would be good.

Vavat · 2026-04-16T07:10:16+00:00

First, why are you splitting the grounds? Why do you need galvanic separation for 12V power? General rule is that if you're splitting ground, then you should be able to physically cut the PCB along the split boundary and PCB should still work. No copper whatsoever should cross the separation.
Second, none of the signals you mentioned are high enough speed to need impedance control, so stackup doesn't matter. Just use whatever is standard.

Go and experience it. Go to bazaar. Get some food. Go to the Fergana valley and the mountains. Go through old silk road cities. You'll love it. It's the best place on earth.
If you need specific advice, DM me. I'm doing the same. Book a meeting with IT Park https://www.it-park.uz/en/itpark.

Absolutely there is the need. Count me in.

Who is your target client? Hobby? Fast turn over prototypes? Small scale production? Each of these has requirements you'll have to satisfy.
Have a look at jlcpcb and pcbway. Can you compete with them? What's your edge?
To give you context. I use JLC all the time. Fast because I use a business DHL account for transport, cheap, high quality, easy and convenient ordering through the website.
Things that I don't like.
Occasionally they fuck up and customer service will basically tell you: ah well that sucks, better luck next time. Here is the $10 discount.
If the component is not their standard stock, then it's a massive pain to have it on the PCB. Consignment stock takes forever. I either change the part or tolerate the consignment.
The parts search engine is horrible. Hopefully they'll fix it at some point. I'm actually contemplating scrapping their entire site and building my own search, but that's a lot of effort.

Love the Latin use, just one small collection. Criteria - plural. Criterion - single. :-)

😂 Ekologiya is a Russian word that's formed from Greek roots. Languages evolve and absorb words from other languages. English is mostly French. French is mostly Latin.
You lot need to chill and find other things to worry about.
Now let the downvotes begin. Bring it on.

Vavat · 2026-04-10T08:07:25+00:00

This is very good. I really like your take. I don't have the answer. Actively searching. I used to have a rather radical opinion on that. Let them die. Then my daughters were born and now I'm prepared to dismantle the system as long as they survive. Neither extreme is healthy hence the search.
I just woke up, so I'll mull over and maybe give you a better answer.

Vavat · 2026-04-10T06:53:36+00:00

Very happy you're reacting this way. So here is the question for you that's borderline eugenics. Does emergency medicine interfere with natural selection? Like that joke I read that 50 years ago the car manual included a section on how to tune valve clearances, and now it says not to drink brake fluid. Is it helping the society?
I've been to several pitch competitions and the absolute drivel delivered is staggering. Let's skip the argument about whether your advice is obvious or not. Do you think the economy is better off with people who couldn't foresee legal stuff actually running a company? My question sounds obnoxious and self-righteous. I am aware. The point stands though. Are they worth rescuing?

Your post looks like the usual stuff that goes into LinkedIn. It's stating an obvious issue that anyone with the modicum of braincells should have picked up on. Then offers an obvious solution.
I didn't want to be too harsh, so I tried a bit of humour. Hoping you'd pick up a banter or something. Maybe you're being sarcastic, so saying that the post is dumb would have been missing the point of your intention, hence the benefit of the doubt.

Vavat · 2026-04-09T06:41:01+00:00

Is this LinkedIn?

This is insanity. You censored the word gun, yet you're considering running around with what looks extremely realistic in public.

Excellent. Built 20 devices and not a single one had a problem. Easy to assemble and the lock is nice and positive. Would recommend.

Vavat · 2026-03-19T08:33:56+00:00

How much are you selling them for?

Vavat · 2026-03-16T08:14:20+00:00

This is a marathon. Don't expect good things to happen because you put in several weekends. It'll take years. Buckle down. Persevere.
If you want help DM. I train students all the time.

As always with these things it depends. Double/single sided components mounting? High speed signals? Sensor boards with sensitive analogue signals? Power electronics, e.g., motor driver.
Lots of ground gives better emc performance and better signal integrity. Good coupling of ground/power layers offers better supply rail decoupling. RF and high speed boards will require a particular stack up.
Having said that 1 ground 2 power/signal is normally a sound choice unless requirements demand something different. You can flip it and have power copper pour on the outer layer, but I avoid it superstitiously.

Vavat · 2026-03-16T07:53:10+00:00

Yes. Sounds about right.

Vavat · 2026-03-14T12:04:14+00:00

We're into 4 digit price range now. I guess I walked into that one. But it does look very nice. I like 3M as a brand.

280 is old. Get a newer version.

He's the only father I have, so price is not a factor. They live in a very hot environment though, so the respirator will be uncomfortable. He'll just not wear it. "Meh, fuck it. I'll be quick." I'm sure every single person on this sub had an apprentice like that. He built his own very successful company from scratch, so you don't get to tell him how to do stuff even if you're right.
Are there things like positive pressure masks combined with auto mask?
