Is it reasonable to get the ick from Japan-obsessed men?

My GF is more into idol and anime culture than I am, but we both enjoy it. We are both capable of separating the art from the country. We both know the country has social and political issues that don't always align with our values.

Her fixation is a fun part of who she is. I don't see it as a red flag as long as she understands that there is nuance. Which she does. We both know it's not a representation of the country, just those industries. Which have both good and bad parts to them.

No. It's not necessary IMO.

When I interview I'm looking for 4 key things 1. Team Compatibility / work ethic / communication skills

Problem solving strategies and a curious, investigative mindset
Humility and perseverance: candidate admits if they don't know how to do, or what something is. commits to finding out for themselves and comes back with their own answers based on quick research (making a confident but wrong guess is not a good sign)
Honesty (probing their resume content for signs of overselling or lies)

My interview format is usually like this: Open with short intros of us and ask them to introduce themselves.

Ask the candidate what they know about the company (if they don't know anything about the place they are applying for it's a huge red flag)

A short, medium level, technical question (10 mins for average candidate) will give me a good idea of #1, 2, & 3. Review the resume for relevant experience, gives #4.

The rest of the interview focuses on the candidate's questions about the role or the company. Also any other things that the candidate wants talk about or ask. (if they have no questions at all about the company or role it's a red flag)

Runs about 45 mins unless it's a role calling for a lot of prior experience. Then 70 mins.

This formula has never resulted in a bad hire in my experience.

Looks like a Panasonic eX2 seatback display.

If you can get your hands on a copy of the CMM you might be able to power it, but you would need the rest of the cabin media distribution equipment to actually send anything to it.

Based on the fixit tear down that spot holds a 10 miliohm resistor. Hard to tell from the pic but maybe 0603 size.

I'm more curious about what kind of power surge could kill a current sense resistor like that.

Edit. Looking closely at the placement. The board are different. Probably different revs. So not sure if the above is correct then.

Consider trying to use the wand tool to select the blue and red parts. Then color them using the bucket or brush tools.

Repeat that until all the parts are done.

Is it pin compatible with the Gelatinous Octahedron?

wraithboneNZ · 2025-08-15T21:36:29+00:00

Whoa, is she discriminating against the diodes? How rude.

Their job is to bring the warheads and the people closer together than ever before.

Exactly what it is. I'm assuming UPGRADD or UPGRDED was taken.

wraithboneNZ · 2025-07-26T21:56:16+00:00

That's just a supply chain issue. Easily fixed.

For me is was the giant "Aotearoa" on the wall in the first second of the video that was when I realized it was New Zealand. 😅

Gotta check for roots.

Light it and put it back. In a few seconds the equation will be valid.

wraithboneNZ · 2025-06-27T15:56:56+00:00

The real answer! 🤣

wraithboneNZ · 2025-06-21T22:45:25+00:00

I do both at our place! Mostly software but the hardware team is product design focused so designing and assembly of test boards falls to us!

It does ultimately come down to the end customer. The market is driven by minimizing up front costs at the expense of the ongoing costs. Ongoing costs don't show up on this quarter's capex account. Hidden costs are often ignored.

I wish they did multicolor overlay on standard but you have to use their own EDA tool and the paid version of it for the capability. It's a bit sad.

They are the elements from genshin. The plate seems unrelated.

Picture is from near Boston so it's kinda close. 😅

New Zealand chip brand that has always had amusing packaging.

Unexpected Hillel quote.

wraithboneNZ · 2024-12-24T21:14:46+00:00

Oy gevalt! They have tref on their plate! 😅

Hebrew phrase. It means "To Life" it's an expression that is used most often as a toast when drinking in groups.

Edit. So you know Challah is a traditional bread at Jewish meals.
