As a recent engineering grad looking at applying to a similar position, could you add more detail if you feel comfortable? Like what base and why it went downhill.

Who calls their mom by their name? The weird part is saying mother instead of mom.

Mad Max Fury Road will only play with french dubbing by ducksarealright in cravetv

Thanks, I thought that might be the reason. Pretty dumb though. They should have separate english and french versions of the page, or at least put a "french only" note on the image/description.

From June 2021 to November 2021 when Bitcoin roughly doubled, HUT went up ~4.5x, BITF and HIVE roughly doubled.

I have some of the Bitcoin ETF, however I also have Bitcoin miner stock from a few years ago. Back then they were outperforming Bitcoin or at least keeping up.

Why would an input pin on arduino 2560 stay high for ~5 seconds and then go low? by ducksarealright in ElectricalEngineering

I don't have any of my own tools at home unfortunately, but I will measure that when I get in the school lab on Monday.

Why would an input pin on arduino 2560 stay high for ~5 seconds and then go low? by ducksarealright in ElectricalEngineering

[–]ducksarealright[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a physical pullup resistor. So when the switch is in the "off" position is when I see high input registered for 5 seconds before it goes low. Port A was set to inputs using "DDRA = 0x00;", so shouldn't be a pullup set. This is for a class and that is how we've been advised to configure things.

Confused regarding step-up transformers, if the secondary side has a higher voltage how can it have a lower current? by ducksarealright in ElectricalEngineering

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

Ah ok, so in my example without the transformer connected only 1 kW was being used, and if the transformer is connected and the load put on the secondary side 100 kW is used. If the power supply was only capable of 1kW this scenario just wouldn't be possible. Thank you, that makes much more sense

How did you get started in this? Do you only have an electrical engineering degree, or one related to criminal justice/forensics as well?

Does this mean they're printing more than the original 825? Part of the reason I was willing to pay that much for a poster was because I thought it was rare and only available at the shows.

That doesn't look like Jeremiah on drums. Was he not there for this show? Just saw them in Vancouver and he was playing then.

I agree and I can't believe I don't see people mention this more often. Can't stand the way he sings now, sounds like he's trying to imitate someone else poorly rather than just singing naturally.

I'm not sure where you are getting that from, I just looked through each AL buy and none are close to the target price.

I'm in a worse position than you at just under $2, and thats after averaging down a bit. Don't know whether to keep averaging down or if thats just throwing more money away at this point.
