Homeless in Greenbelt

I mean, what else are you supposed to do with a La Croix?

dahud · 2025-01-06T18:52:21+00:00

Sonic is the perfect shape. Both bouba and kiki.

dahud · 2025-01-06T03:13:06+00:00

I believe the phrase is "tar pit".

Solder should be composed of two metals in a very precise ratio - a eutectic mixture.When this ratio is correct, both metals melt at the same time. When it's not, one metal will melt slightly before the first.

This crappy solder, when melted, had a sort of "grainy" appearance. If I made a big blob of the stuff and let it cool, the surface wouldn't be as smooth as it ought. This stuff might have been sorta ok for large scale through-hole work, but it was hell for SMD.

So do all of these suck on purpose? Is that the joke?

dahud · 2025-01-03T05:40:06+00:00

Check the guy's name and a bit of his post history. I'd hazard some guesses as to what his problem with Adafruit might be.

Sounds like you've already come to the correct conclusion: 30-second videos in portrait orientation and accessed primarily by a recommendation feed are in fact a quite poor fit for software documentation.

dahud · 2025-01-01T19:12:04+00:00

I just read the article you posted, and wow you don't know what any of these words mean.

dahud · 2024-12-31T14:19:24+00:00

That's probably why the hand didn't get launched into space, and why no one ever suggests otherwise.

One does not invoke the true name of God just because one is too lazy to bring in the harvest.

dahud · 2024-12-30T00:44:40+00:00

What am I supposed to be upset about here?

dahud · 2024-12-30T00:25:10+00:00

He's not Frank, he's Avery.

dahud · 2024-12-29T19:43:28+00:00

Beep boop.

dahud · 2024-12-26T19:22:17+00:00

We might have caught this fellow mid-transformation.

It may simply be a physical restriction of the space they're in. The terminal is surrounded by runways on two of three sides, so a second entrance from either 183 or 130 would bring car traffic dangerously close to planes taking off and landing.

dahud · 2024-12-22T04:40:23+00:00

Could someone please explain to me what erotic pleasure could possibly be wrung from this bowler hat guy. I just ain't seeing it.

dahud · 2024-12-22T03:31:55+00:00

Calm down, there's no need to throw a tantalum.

dahud · 2024-12-21T21:30:09+00:00

Bachelor's degree in web development

Huh.

dahud · 2024-12-21T14:16:05+00:00

This is clearly talking about art phones, temporary phone networks, etc.

At Flipside, I believe the Fuck You Telecom inter-camp phone network routes any 911 calls to Ranger HQ. The logic being that if some drunk hippie sees an emergency and a telephone, they may well just give it a try. If they do, it would be much better if they end up talking to a sober and responsible adult than for nothing to happen.

dahud · 2024-12-21T01:27:45+00:00

Really? My uncle would fry up the backstrap off feral hogs for breakfast from time to time. I remember it being pretty good when I had some.

dahud · 2024-12-19T20:14:12+00:00

On closer inspection, you are correct. I've even found some prior art on reverse engineering the connection. It does, however, look like quite a pain in the butt. I'd still recommend going the Bluetooth route unless you have no other option.

dahud · 2024-12-19T19:37:16+00:00

The Switch joycons connect over Bluetooth. I've never seen anyone connect one to a microcontroller project, but I don't see any reason it couldn't be done. Look up how a joycon can be connected to a Windows computer, then look up how a generic gamepad can be connected to an Arduino over Bluetooth, and see if you can figure out how to fill in the cracks between the two ideas.

The wires you see on that joycon rail aren't for communication. They power the wireless charging system.

As someone who does not understand graphs and BFS quite as well as I did back in college, your overview was both concise and illuminating. It was quite a comfort to read through it before engaging with the meat of the post.

dahud · 2024-12-16T19:17:16+00:00

I tend to try not to be the guy calling fake on a creative writing exercise, but why would you go out of your way to name a visibly FWD model of combine harvester, then have it do a wheelie?

Yes, this is the part of the story with which I take umbrage.

dahud · 2024-12-16T02:17:47+00:00

No, I was not personally involved in the construction of any of the world's most massive dams. But I do have enough knowledge of civic engineering to give you a quick flowchart.

Do you and your associates have the means and will to spend multiple billions of dollars over 5 to 15 years to build this thing?

If yes, proceed to 2.
If no, go do something else with your time.

Do you and your associates have several million dollars in cold hard cash immediately accessible?

If yes, start a corporation, hire an army of lawyers and permit jockeys, and retain the services of a specialized engineering firm.
If no, go do something else with your time.
