Yeah they use the same color grading style or something.

I've been enjoying all their SciFi: silo, severance, for all mankind, foundation.

The Boys is decent. Otherwise not really.

I only really think of Apple as being able to consistently make good shows.

I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.

They're pretty common in nicer datacenter environments. Newer cat6a is only 28awg (tiny and easy to work with!) and can do 10gb just fine.

For example:

Nah like this:

Boots suck. Good connectors just have the tab be more of an inverted V shape, so it doesn't catch but you don't need to squish a hard plastic boot to remove it.

Stupid question - What happens to all the people he's firing? Isn't he just creating an unemployment crisis?

By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

Totally. I have my student license and everyone at the field is much older than I am. There's a reason that some plane models are called things like "doctor killers".

Also there's a lot of random pilots up in places like Alaska or crop dusting in middle America that just don't give a fuck about anything. That tends to skew the stats a bit more I think.

Yeah you could totally make that argument. A cessna cruises at around 125 knots (143 mph) and google tells me the speed limit on a US highway is 85 mph.

It's still less safe than driving a car, and not as safe as people assume all flying is (thanks to commercial flying being amazingly safe).

I pasted the links elsewhere, but it's important to differentiate between general aviation (small planes, crop dusters, personal pilots, etc) and commercial flying.

Commercial flying is EXTREMELY safe, ridiculously so. The safety culture is amazing. General aviation does it's best, but at the end of the day people just aren't as responsible in small planes.

I hate to link them, but video of the outside of the plane - https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1irthzm/all_survived_video_from_passenger_on_board/

Everyone walked away. How the hell do you land a plane upside down?

I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....

Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.

I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.

Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?

I can't find anything in any menus.
