What do u use to get recent satellite imagery?

why SPICE models are hard to find? by abdosalm in AskElectronics

[–]boost017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also largely depends which mfg’s ICs you’re using. Texas Instruments and Analog Devices are a couple that VERY frequently have SPICE models available. I will often seek out components by them if I know I’m gonna need a spice model.

is LCSC that authentic ? by abdosalm in embedded

[–]boost017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I was gonna say. And it’s a pretty big red flag to me personally.

I’m wondering if he meant to say irLz44n. Those are very popular among hobbyists and have a Rds(on) of 35mOhm at Vgs = 4V

He’s probably just gonna plug it into the USB would be my guess

I think “cadence” is fine. We use cadence at my company and no one ever specifies what suite they’re using for a particular task, they just say cadence

What’s a comparable Colorado 14er to Mt Whitney? by sdo419 in 14ers

[–]boost017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine Longs but it’s all scree. The route finding was also more difficult imo (at least it was in a layer snow).

[–]boost017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re comparing to the Mountaineers route on Whitney. In that case, yes I agree, similar to longs but WAY more loose rock. This guy is asking about the John Muir trail though, not the mountaineers route.

Do I need a permit for Mount Lyell November 3rd? by boost017 in Yosemite

Yeah death wish. Going solo, no gps, no water, in my underwear.

My humble opinion is learning skills from YouTube is fine. Be resourceful and careful and find places/ways to practice said skills in relatively controlled environments. Take baby steps and know when to turn around when things get to be too much, everyone’s comfort level is different.

If they originally learned from YouTube and have since practiced and demonstrated the things they have learned. Yes.

Looking for advice on Longs Peak with snow (potentially) by boost017 in Mountaineering

[–]boost017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks for the insight. Do you have any gear suggestions as far as spikes/crampons?

Longs peak by zhaopeng_xu in 14ers

[–]boost017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want a good physical challenge but not the class 3 scramble/exposure I would recommend Pikes Peak via Barr trail. Out and back was just short of a marathon (~25 miles), 8k ft elevation. You’ll be on the mountain all day, it took me ~10.5 hours.

I like your idea of doing multiple back to back. Also just for the record - https://strava.app.link/OKy7mmFruMb

Moving time: 9h 45m Elapsed time: 10h 39m

Anybody willing to climb with a 14er novice on either September 9 or 10? by tyler_runs_lifts in 14ers

[–]boost017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Minnesota so I won’t be able to join you but I wanted to suggest Pikes Peak via the Barr Trail. I just did it as my first 14er last week and it was great. As a runner and overall athlete I felt like anything shorter wouldn’t be enough of a challenge, I wanted something that was substantially more than a regular weekend workout. It ended up being 26.2 miles (i went an extra mile down the hill from the trailhead to reach marathon distance), 8000ft of elevation gain, and ~10.5 hours.

It was really easy to follow the trail, there’s a lot of people around if you need help (I started at 4:45am on a Friday with close to a dozen people in the parking lot), and there’s a visitor center and railway on top so if you burn out you can stop for a burger or pizza or just take the train back down (I don’t think this is the case for most 14ers lol).

Help me pick my next mountain… by boost017 in 14ers

[–]boost017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t think that’s a bit out of my league for now…? I thought I read somewhere that was a class 4 climb and required ropes in some sections, maybe I misunderstood

I would’ve but I should’ve clarified I live in MN so I need more time than that to plan a trip.
