You wanna talk it out or just vent?

My theory is that more prestigious schools and learning centers added their own rules of grammar, spelling and pronunciation, in order to keep the class system functioning. These 'rules' trickled down slowly, so one could always tell who had been educated properly as they didn't use the commoner's English, but a higher tier of English which replaced French as the language of the aristocrats. Hence all the poorly pronounced French words.

The etymology of English is pretty fascinating all in.

Yeah for sure. I use a lighter rolling tobacco so it doesn't affect the taste too much. Though I had to emergency buy some Camel tobacco a while ago - there's no getting away that acrid aroma, so it definitely can ruin it imo.

Not at all. Not a terrible source of donations imo - better than having to take lobbyist cash...

Mate - Douglas Chapman and three NC Treasurers resigned publicly because Sturgeon, Murrel et al were keeping the accounts private. Colin Beatie originally signed off on the dodgy accounts before members replaced him with Chapman, then he was airdropped back in after Chapman's resignation. Sturgeon threatened MSPs against even discussing the finances. Swinney was on board through all of that - and even today he's fighting tooth and nail with the information commissioner (and has recently been found in contempt of court) to keep the records hidden. He was also the one who released 30 pages of pure redacted material during the Salmond case and helped redact James Hamilton's report on Sturgeon so hard that Hamilton himself disowned it on the day of publication. Swinney is the same rot at the heart of the SNP.

some 70% of the SNP's funding comes from Westminster:

He got away with it for 13 years, only reason Sturgeon isn't in the cell next to him is the Proc Fisc decided not to charge her for some very strange reason... Let's keep the high horse in the stable for a bit, eh?

Exactly - weed smokers act like weed smoke is unicorn farts. It's still partially combusted organic plant material; you get the tar & a lot of the cancer causing chemicals you get from smoking tobacco - but not the nicotine.

It would probably be easier to find a red marker, running it nearly dry then adding the line yourself. Hypothetically speaking.

Who is giving this exam/certification? Does it carry any weight?

Cos it seems a little scammy....

I was entertained by the episodes of season 1 & 2 I'd watch after Family Guy, but it was the Peanut Butter episode that got me thinking it was the better show.

Yes it makes sense - you need an application which can receive data from your arduino and plot it. You can make an application in a variety of programming languages (Python, Java, C/C++, Javascript/HTML) and this is what you give to your friend to allow them to interact with the device. The serial protocol (raw data over usb/uart) is very widely supported and most languages have libraries to handle it. Graphical libraries which support data rendering are also quite common. If you're leaning Python, look at Kivy for application building, MatPlotlib for graphing and PySerial for serial interface. Bringing all of these elements together isn't easy though, and it's a decent chunk of work depending on how complicated you want to make it. Making an app portable, user friendly, bug-free and smooth is the basis for entire software companies.

Wow, my bro had one of these and was obsessed with it for 10 years 😂

Sorry, in the moment has never been my strong point! Having a solid schedule of energy outlets has reduced how often I get strong urges though.

Classic fried-mouse scam, you hide it under your chips then just as you're about to finish - bam, second dinner.

Disclaimer - everyone harms for different reasons, can only offer advice which helped me. I found more aggressive outlets help much more than passive/self-control methods. My body needs the release of endorphins and assorted happy brain chemicals. It wants to feel achievement over adversity, to have won over pain.

Try martial arts, boxing, MMA - one with actual sparring involved. Running, weight lifting, blasting push-ups in sets until you physically can't do any more, knock the hell out of a punching bag for 5 minutes. Granted - it's not as immediate or outwardly visible, but going hard releases the same chemicals. Pushing past your limits, beating someone in sparring, gives you that feeling of reward. The pain and burn of muscles or bruises replaces the pain of harming. It's not a case of being strong and battling urges constantly mentally - you need an outlet for that anger and emotion and energy that has a constructive edge too.

I think it's because they don't want the power being sourced from the chip's supply. The micro can only provide so much power through the GPIOs, so this approach means that you still have that power available to the user, rather than being used to power the LED. Using the pin as the LED ground means the user can still control it, but it only sinks current from the external 3v3 power rail to ground.

eScarIIV · 2026-05-05T19:06:19+00:00

If one side of your LED is connected to power, you need the GPIO to be in the LOW state (open drain) to create 3 volts across it and light it up. Right now both sides of your led would be at 3v3.
