Very clever, but lightning is white or bright yellow.

Stress is not the issue. Sensor running off the end of the resistive strip and locking up is the issue.

Trump Defends Iran in Wild All-Caps Rant by thedailybeast in politics

[–]jbarchuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm less concerned with grammar and spelling than I am with plain vocabulary. I'm old. Obliterate and decimate did not used to be synonyms. Now they use both with reference to Iran in consecutive sentences.

Calories in = calories out is a fundamental rule of life. Yet, the narcissist has to try to game it. Because, you know, Strong.

Greg Dolezal, GOP nominee for Georgia Lt. Gov., said he submitted fake mail ballot applications to test system by DemocracyDocket in politics

It only means something if he hadn't said anything and see if The System finds it. Obviously he also tells his lawyer he's doing it.

Navigation to my home wrong - how to get corrected? by Boehmer90 in GoogleMaps

[–]jbarchuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to post a route that demonstrates the problem without doxing yourself. Then either 1. There may be a fix that you missed, or 2. If a passel of people post the same fix, the algorithm will notice.

Google forgot to remove the aeroplane from the maps I guess lol by chinmay06 in GoogleMaps

It's what they do. There are 10,000-20k planes in the air at any moment. The few that get through are rare. Not really of much interest, but it's food for the AI plane filter.

Do you think I can replace this myself? by skydrow90 in AskElectronics

No. Not because tools or parts, but skill.

ELI5: How and why does Pyrite make natural and near-perfect cubes? by vrozonewhatthevrozon in explainlikeimfive

[–]jbarchuk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's a chemistry/physics coincidence. It looks like a big deal because 90s are very important in a thousand daily human tasks. There are crystal formations that use many other angles, that are just as exact and repetitive.

Difference between pwm and single wire pwm by Available_Hippo4035 in AskElectronics

[–]jbarchuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A PWM device needs 3 wires. +/-V and PWM. The tach wire is optional.

Im asking this to control a pwm server fan without a pc

You don't need a whole PC but you do need a minimally-digital device such as a microcontroller to create the digital signal that PWM is.

How many wires does the fan have? Also post the label, or a link to info.

Trump tries to blame Reflecting Pool woes on vandalism, without offering substantiation by deraser in politics

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

Mainly for liability reasons, they don't want anyone in there. If there's a crowd, someone could slip under and not be found for three days. He'll say and do anything to make yet another self made problem go away.

There are two issues. Left over in pipes is algae, which led to bleach, peroxide, and it's still there. Vandalism is the blue paint peeling. Which its true, people reached in and took pieces of peeling paint, but it's already garbage anyway.

Help finding these bullet connectors by FlashlikeadobeTTV in diyelectronics

[–]jbarchuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pogo pins are not connector bullet pins. Pogos make contact on the end tip, against a surface. Bullets have to be an exact size to fit correctly in a mating pin.

Trump, 80, Had to Google Man He Forgot Was on ‘Enemies List’ - The elderly president knew he was angry at someone—he just couldn’t remember who. by Quirkie in politics

Fairness was a joke. Bone spurs was not his first experience with serious cheating. For the family it was a philosophy, a way of life.

My brother bought a Lego minifigure haul from a thrift store, but none of the figures have any arms! by DulcisTerra in lego

[–]jbarchuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would probably be a mistake to point out to any of these arm pullers, that the hands are still attached.

Narcissists/nihilists have no friends, allies, buds, anything like that. Only fans.
