  • The quality of consumer goods has gone to shit over the past 30 or so years. I remember the toys I had as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s…

    I had this toy tractor that was made out of proper metal sheets linked together so that the backhoe could move. It lasted my entire childhood. I tried to find something similar to one of my kids a few years back, but the only options these days are plastic junk that breaks way to easily.






  • And properly calculated, I am sure. I doubt there’s a period in time where the ukranian population is less likely to vote in favor of Russian interests.

    The only thing that worries me is a certain country who has a history of deliberately targetting civilians start literally aiming for the polls. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re going to do everything they can to cause fear around it resulting in low turnout and thereby claiming the election was a sham.

    Hopefully there’s proper infrastructure in place to allow for voting without queueing for ages.

    Anyways, that’s a question for later: The Constitution has to be ammended first to allow for elections during war time.




  • Personally I’m a big fan of Adafruits ItsyBitsy 32u4. Loads of potential in a small and cheap backage. Enumerates as an arduino via the USB port, so no special hardware is requires to program it. I use one to read a PWM signal and measure the pulse width on a few channel, so I would think it’s capable of outputting similar signals, which comes in handy for contrilling LEDs and small steppers.

    If you want to control something a bit more power hungry via PWM you might want to look into PCA9685 which works really well with, for example, a raspberry pi zero.



  • I always hated this song. From an objective standpoint it’s alright, I guess, but the rythm and the guitar motif just rubs me the wrong way.

    And I remember reaching that conclusion after hearing it on the radio not long after it came out. Then later I heard a pretty cool intro start, only to realize that it was the same fucking song.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is that it has a cool intro which devolves onto one of my least favorite songs of all time.

    The people who support mowing down civilians with tanks in an effort to protect authoritarian regimes, just because they label themselves as communist.

    Almost 100% overlap with “Murica bad!”, which while true in a vacuum, ignores that other countries can also be bad. This results in tankies unironically supporting the Kim family or doing some heavy revisionism around Stalin.
