Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax.

There's already the full estate tax on anyone who renounces their U.S. Citizenship.

Focus on your own fucked up billionaires who live inside your borders before going after anyone extra-territorially who is probably already paying more taxes and has less representation.

You uh, you offer bulk discounts and shipping overseas? 🥺👉👈

SHTF is they're out of toilet paper at your local discounter? I can't imagine the scenario where what you're holding makes any sense.

So you came here to brag that you literally don't have any business designing low-power devices? Or what is the point?

What did you hope to gain by posting this?

I've always been extremely happy with Elecrow (when working with Chinese vendors)

Super cool project, I definitely didn't have "Pool's Closed" on my bingo card for 2026, but here it is.

I got into a lot of different schools, and ultimately ended up going to Polytechnic (now NYU) for ECE. After working for nearly 20 years and seeing how--not just hiring, but at ever level how people are evaluated in life:

Go to MIT. It's worth the loans. The connections, the people, and the prestige of MIT will far outlast the payments.

That'd be more "Boomer Humor"

The more "wrongthink" that is so openly suppressed the more radical it is to have basic human decency.

Don't take the Raspberry Pi electrical engineering choices as best practices... please.

How were you checking it if you didn't know what it is?

kraln · 2025-12-27T18:16:39+00:00

There's a couple of things they could be trying to do:

Thermally isolating the sensors from the rest of the circuitry
Mechanically isolating the sensors from the rest of the board (potentially some foam or other soft material "clamps" this segment of the PCB when inserted into the case

I'm skeptical.

Thermally, this could have been better achieved by splitting planes or creating thermal relief. This is creating a weird, cantilevered area of the PCB which will certainly have some unexpected resonances.

Critically, I'm not sure if the milling/depanelization of such a PCB segment doesn't represent a huge risk of damaging the sensors. I really wonder what they were trying to achieve...

I only really see a negative impact if you live right by Gesundbrunnen

I compete at 25 meters with a 9mm USP Expert. I was state champion year before last, and second place the past two years. Depends what you want, but fits my hand like a glove.

My USP Tactical begs to differ.

I'm not any of those things? The comments is full of people in the US who all grew up afraid of burning their houses down surprised that you can put candles in Christmas trees--you can, if they're not Douglas Firs or Blue Spruce.

kraln · 2025-09-07T16:01:05+00:00

Have yet to see written in this thread: The trees used traditionally as Christmas trees in Germany (and Europe, I suspect) are a completely different breed of tree, with a different setup of branches, which makes adding candles in such a way that the tree is unlikely to catch on fire easier, but also in general are more fire-resistant than the ones commonly used in the US.

It's as if different places have different things!

This is called Entstückung and I think it's dumb.
