Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to type “aarrggh”. He’d just say it!

I’d love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

Good news, I’m starting to see products like this on the market!

To be faaaaaaair… The devices no longer have the DC voltage and current ratings listed on them like they used to.

Tension makes me think of how one “can’t let go” if high-voltage AC is flowing through their arms. 😬

…and warnings in multiple languages. HAUTE TENSION!

Potential or electromotive force. “Voltage” is long accepted. The only use of “amperage” you’ll find in The Art of Electronics is in the index: Amperage, see current. Ampère called current “intensité du courant”, hence I in V = I × R.

I don’t know why it bugs me. This is Mildly Infuriating… The place for nitpicking! 😅

That’s the joke. Edit: oops, you got the message already! 😂

For some reason, “amperage” mildly infuriates me. It’s current.

Voltage equals amperage times ohmage.

A weatherman saying it went viral ~9 years ago, if anyone wants to hear the pronunciation:

Appease “the Base” and “own the libs”. Drive a deeper wedge and call it freedom and unity.

This isn’t normal.

“Abortion debate” and all other culture warfare is only to keep the masses busy fighting each other so they don’t engage the rich in class warfare.

We’re at the point that trans people get arrested for being in either bathroom.

The US right-wing was constantly bitching about “cancel culture” and now that they are in power they are cancelling everything they can.

There were thousands of Xitter accounts echoing and amplifying Trump that were deleted immediately after the election. The propaganda machine is on automatic now.

Same thing happened on a smaller scale with my local conservative school board members boosting themselves with fake Facebook accounts, then deleting them after they were busted. They claimed “we have nothing to hide” and “this is an assault on our free speech rights.” I’m stoking the flames by sending a letter to the local newspaper editor saying that if fake personas have free speech rights, they should also have the right to vote.

It’s just another anecdote of wild “visions” being had on that specific island.

GBA was awesome at the time. Up to that point, all other color portables were jokes that could kill a fresh set of 6 AA batteries in a single play session. Backlight tech was bad; Game Gear had a tiny fluorescent tube! IndiGlo watches were fancy… there was Game Boy Light but only in Japan. I can’t remember why these companies were so slow to go to LED especially since third-party LED “worm lights” were so popular on GBC then GBA. Probably patents?

Nintendo was right to invest in RISC tech like Super FX, leading to GBA’s 32-bit ARM CPU able to run for many many hours on 2 AAs. I felt that only adding L+R buttons to the Game Boy control scheme was a mistake especially when ports and sequels of 16-bit favorites started appearing, but obviously that didn’t hold the console back.

Sega were the innovators putting the mini-screen/portable in their controller but trying to keep the price down made it way too limited, and Nintendo almost took that to next level with the GBA to GameCube link.

John went to and had visions on the island of Patmos, supposedly known for its abundance of psychedelic mushrooms. See also Yakub, whose stories are referenced by the “Nation of Islam.”

Game development means video games, video games means crates, and crates means warehouses. So simple that even an AI can understand.

nmap’s seeing the 1-9999 as the next argument (expecting an IP address). In -Pn, the n is a placeholder for the port numbers you want to scan, so you want -P1-9999
