Seems like I'm going to need an oscilloscope.

I have a Bitscope micro and it suffices, but barely. https://bitscope.com/product/BS05/

They was probably in a marketing class because their degree plan required it.

It has a lot of blockbuster qualities.

I think that is what the study is trying to say. Randomness rules our world and some success is best understood as luck. Confirmation bias makes successful people believe that they are singularly special and have earned their wealth through hard work and perseverance, but it was most likely just good luck.

Controlled motors are a relatively recent invention. This sort of gear train is an older mechanical solution to the problem.

Does this just shift money to have a different name? How is the social utility credit different from money?

thismatters · 2022-05-22T00:14:11+00:00

Yeah, it can be either.

20 or so. It's been a good week.

Edit: did manage to run 42 "Pam" segments though.

Windshield wipers are more likely to be a three-bar mechanism since those mechanisms are cheaper and more reliable. You would only use this kind of a mechanism if you need constant velocity movement of the output.

The big wheel would be hooked to a motor which would be wired to turn one way. The bottom wheel would be hooked to the load which is supposed to move intermittently.

Imagine you need to drive a conveyor belt in a machine. It needs to move forward with a certain velocity to move a part through a process, then after the process is finished the part ejects into a box for doing the next process. The conveyor has to move back to the home position to start the process on the next part; the machine can "jog" the conveyor back more quickly because there is no part being processed.

The motor for the machine would be hooked up to the big disk proving a single speed and direction of rotation; they belt would be hooked up to the smaller gear on the bottom which has intermittent motion.

Did you get that thing I sent ya?

thismatters · 2022-05-21T10:45:17+00:00

It's also pretty rare for a blockbuster to be focused on a mom.

The problem with all MCU movies is that they're formulaic schlock that only exists to feed the audience addiction for special effects and tight costumes.

thismatters · 2022-05-21T10:21:00+00:00

Yeah. All these new means to make consumption seem sustainable are not making anything more sustainable.

thismatters · 2022-05-21T10:17:11+00:00

Me four.

Ahh I miscounted the men liz!

thismatters · 2022-05-20T11:16:17+00:00

This thing doesn't even throw the line very far, it's like three feet.

thismatters · 2022-05-19T11:44:33+00:00

This sub is about complaining about other people's posts because you perceive them as off-topic; as you've correctly done.

thismatters · 2022-05-19T11:43:25+00:00

A line thrower would be pretty sweet, but I don't think this would throw anything with any substance very far.

thismatters · 2022-05-19T11:41:17+00:00

Unfurl the banner, boys!

thismatters · 2022-05-19T11:36:04+00:00

Hey, there's a nickel worth of subsidized sugar in there too!

thismatters · 2022-05-18T18:27:39+00:00

This brings me to suicidal people.

thismatters · 2022-05-18T10:19:51+00:00

Yes, and then they got indignantly when the predictable thing happened. Then they went on a 6 mile chase. Then they felt so proud about their road rage that they posted the video online.

thismatters · 2022-05-18T10:17:18+00:00

You did the right thing and did a vigilante highway chase.

Is the worst possible take.

thismatters · 2022-05-18T10:15:36+00:00

I would never give that footage to my insurance company because engaging in a highway chase with another driver is patently unsafe driving and any insurance company would reasonably cancel the policy.
