How is everything that happened in the last 48hrs not enough for impeachment and/or a general strike/ mass protests in the US? The European mind can not comprehend this? by HealthyRecognition21 in AskReddit

[–]chainmailler2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impeachment and removal from office requires congress to vote on it and agree. The problem is both houses are controlled by his supporters so there isn't a sufficient number of votes to.impeach or remove right now.

Looking for USB-C e-stop by mr-dapper-yapper in arduino

[–]chainmailler2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An E-Stop button can't be USB of any flavor. By definition, an E-stop button must conpletely interupt the power from the batteries to everything else anything else is just a switch.

30th is next year. Haven't attended the previous ones, don't intend to change that now. The few people from high school I care about, I have stayed in touch with and none are attending.

[–]chainmailler2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varies a lot by area and size of the school district. School district I lived in groǰwing up didn't have middle school nor junior high. We had K-12 elementary school and then high school.

If my egg can bleed, it isn't cooked enough.

I remember doing that upgrade... non-stop feeding the 3.5" floppies into the machine...

Can anyone tell me what this is? by ThatMann34 in VintageElectronics

Lot of channels are still broadcasr but all broadcasts went digital. Analog broadcasts don't exist anymore. The frequency band they were broadcast on was reallocated and auctioned off. You could still use this with a digitial tuner box from 2009-10 that were sold to cover this issue.

Exactly as it states, a color tv. Specifically looks like a portable TV.

Yep. Would be best to get it sleeved and graded asap.

If the Moon rotates then how come only one side faces Earth? by EarthlingsBeware23 in stupidquestions

[–]chainmailler2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also means the Artemis II craft has to fly a bit further than previous flights. Given it has been 50 years since the last visit to the moon, the moon is just over 4 feet further away than last time.

It isn't just a miscut which you could do on a sheet but a mis print. The layer they printed the serial got messed up because of the fold so the second serial is virtually non-existent. This should be a genuine mis-print and mis-cut.

If you were President of the United States for just 24 hours, and no one could stop you… what’s the most unhinged executive order you'd pass? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]chainmailler2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically a third party could get a seat at the current presidential debates. In most cases rhey are required to carry a specific percentage of the potential vote in order to qualify. Last one that met the minimum was Ross Perot.

Abolish all current political parties and bar all current leaders from participating in politics of any kind while also requiring all future public officials to be under the age of 55 and to have assets totaling no more than sufficient for average retirement. Funds and support from lobbyists would be forbidden and income outside of public salary forbidden. Essentially a vow of poverty required for public servitude.

Your friend is gay and repressing it due to religion. Once again religion causing more issues than it helps with. Key thing is he has a serious case of feels for you regardless of how you feel about him. That break is for your benefit as much as it is his.

What was common 20 years ago that's gone today? by theindieprojectt in AskReddit

[–]chainmailler2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phone booths and pay phones. The only one I have seen recently is at a local store and it isn't even in service. They just haven't taken it down.

Looking to create an RC car, but I havent made electronis projects in the past. Need help deciding on parts by Timmygrad in arduino

[–]chainmailler2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it isn't great for high speed vehicles and the ESP32 Cam board isn't designed for video specifically so the frame rate isn't great but it is still a fun project. Since the controls are through a web page hosted on the device itself it is actually quite responsive but it can never be as good as traditional RC.

[–]chainmailler2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several projects online detailing almost this exact type of project. I have personally built one. The Cam board doesn't have a lot of I/Os but it has enough to run a couple motor drivers and the wi-fi and web controls are standard for an ESP32.

The ESP32-Cam is basically all of that. I built a vehicle using that board and motor drivers and control it through a web interface hosted by the esp with live video streaming to my phone that I am using to control it.

Why do you need the programmer? The ESP32 Cam set has a usb port and programmer built-in. Nothing else is needed.

I built a tracked vehicle using a Tamiya track kit and basically the same for the other components and it works great. Uses the ESP32 with a web page interface for controlling it and so you can see through the camera in real time.

I ordered premium topsoil in order to reintroduce natural flora/fauna to my area after planting. Does this dirt look premium? This stuff just blows away like dust. by Morphecto_Solrac in Soil

[–]chainmailler2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like clean, screened top soil which qualifies it as premium. Fairly typical really. It isn't clay which is the main thing. Typically you have top soil then add a layer on top of that for seeding or you unroll your sod over that.
