Oh, I wasn’t talking about you. The ashton user is the troll, but I think you should be ok with this post.

OP on the post you were banned on is… odd. Just a common troll though.

Metric ton or imperial?

CUDA is NVIDIA proprietary, but may be open to licensing it? I think?

A yellow light bulb.

Food contains sugars and other things that cause plaque. Food gets stuck in between teeth. Bacteria love that shit.

Toothpaste is an abrasive cleaner that can contain things that kill bacteria. Tooth paste is usually minty, making your mouth feel fresh.

94 I think. Mid 80’s is typical for my family, but smoking or drinking was usually a factor.

I know more 4 year olds that have better communication skills than some politicians. Plus, you can reward them with some ice cream every time they tell the truth.

Jokes aside, as long as a person is a legal adult and they can prove they are capable enough to hold a serious position, sure! Let them do it. Realistically, you are likely correct: The minimum age for my requirements is also likely in the 30s.

I’ll sell you mine. Hell, I might even trade some points for a block of your finest cheese.

Drugs are a helluva drug.

No.

Have you ever considered not paying attention to what people say back?

I have never considered doing that at all. It happens naturally in the middle of conversations.

I’ll read the ingredients on many things first, just because I can. It’s just a good practice if you even have the slightest bit of interest in food chemistry.

The big brain am winning again! I am the greetest! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! Now I am leaving Earth for no raisin!

"Pan"ther.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the gas clouds look like drumsticks.

There is a chance that the exe is just a wrapper for a compressed archive that contains the app to flash the bios and also the image. If the bios actually supports flashing manually, that would be super convenient.

Plating through holes is going to be a fun project. There are kits for doing that kind of thing, but you will pay a premium to get everything in one box. The last time I researched it, some conductive ink/paint/glue and an simple electroplating setup was going to be the best option. (The low resistance conductive ink at the time was super expensive, and I was super broke, so I had to ditch the project ) For diy, copper rivets seem like the next best option, TBH.

Take lots of pictures of your wins and failures in your multilayer board project. I have no clue how you are going to be able to press the layers together while keeping them aligned, so I am super curious how that will go.

Those projects are super fun, but are a time suck because they tend to have quite a few iterations before they are usable. Sigh. Work and kids basically terminated those kinds of projects for me.

It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.

For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.

However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)

My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It’s less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain’t salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.

Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn’t matter to you, so be it.

What happens is it chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.

I just checked and behemoths can’t reach it to make significant damage. It seems like overkill, but I have repeating blocks of three guns, four laser turrets and 4 flame throwers. Each set of guns is fed with a requestor chest for ammo and each subsection is in range of my bots for repair. Just the wall itself is 6 tiles deep, 2 tiles deep for a plain wall and 4 for “standoffs”. It’s been impenetrable so far.
