I've got back to the 9th November 2023 marking all the spam advertising regulated goods and service. Google will probably get around to deleting all of it. The flood seems to have started on the 24th October 2023, so I've still got a way to go, but the end is in sight. Darius the particularly Dumb is a different kind of problem. John Larkin has been just as reliably wrong for a lot longer...

I haven't yet met anyone who can explain the zipper. Equally baffling, is its malfunction. You know, suddenly the teeth won't mesh. You try to force the tracks together by hand, but nada, it's irreparable. How can a mechanism so simple fail? So simple, yet so inexplicable... Who invented this gadget? He deserves a monument - --- Rich

This is pleasingly weird. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sif3efs69dxe1mg/AACY0RJGXl4k8CVvauUbJtYFa?dl=0 Sort of a baseline-boosted multi-auto-transformer voltage-doubler flyback. What's strange is that adding the two snubbers increases the LT spice sim speed radically, about 10:1.

I signed up with Comcast for, I think, 30 megabit cable internet. I had a service problem a while back so they upgraded "for free" to 50. I just ran a speed test and it's 920+38 Mbits. This is with a CAT5 cable right from their modem. At work, we have a MonkeyBrains dish. We pay for 50+50 and get 500+500. This seems to be a trend, much faster internet than we signed up for, same price. ...

https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/dead-teslas-oak-brook It's probably not a good idea to buy a Tesla in a place that gets below 0F. Some day a Tesla will freeze up and kill some people, with legal consequences.

It feels like the Digikey data sheets are now often links off-site, and those links are now often broken or plain wrong or otherwise useless. Plus, most of the parts are unavailable or insanely priced. They show several relays over $50,000 each but they are fortunately unavailable.
