Just a shiny male toy…
All technically true & correct.
I’ll add that cast iron consistently works better for longer: My ceramic or PTFE pots start great, but after a while become so terrible they’re useless in spite of silicone spatulas etc. I cook almost daily, so I found the new tech pans fully degraded within a year or less.
Cast iron, I’ve car camped and daily stove topped, no problem. I season it once every couple of years, works great.
Life is a best effort. Make sure the people whose back your scratching are returning the favor.
Don’t get caught holding the bag, in fact don’t even hold the bag.
Finally, if you like weird fashion, just go for it. Shiny black clothes can look great on you if that’s what you actually like.
I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.
Same. Add family in too, I miss em.
Sounds a little… anxious. What’s up with that?
I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.
Definitely wouldn’t equate 2k with ME.
Get experience in weird and uncommon areas of electrical engineering. The greybeard technicians, the almost bland engineer who gets put in charge of a critical project… there’s a lot of actual art to our techniques, hidden to all but those in the know. AI will never reveal these secrets as working with those guys and gals directly will.
Build projects, make a portfolio like a graphic designer might, talk is cheap but seeing is believing. Talk about your mistakes almost as much as successes, bit keep everything succinct.
Cool. I do both high power electronics and structural engineering, a lot of my stuff lives in harsh environments and has to run for months without anyone around to check on it.
There’s a lot of cool work related to moving energy around without losing it as heat too. Most of that’s in the University labs right now, but some interesting stuff has already made its way into the real world too.
All to say, there’s electronics stuff you can do in an office, in a lab, or in the middle of forests. Whatever you pick won’t be a bad choice, you’ll evolve over the years to find the thing you’re both good at and actually like doing. Good luck to you!
Hello fellow electronics guy lol.
Depends on the type of engineering. What gets you interested? Amy projects you wish you could help with?
I’ve also used this very data to justify a raise.
I absolutely do not want to run Google binaries on the phone, graphene doesn’t support microG and instead want you to run Google’s binaries on your phone, just sandboxed.
I hate that idea.
If you tear out the parts that talk to Google, then the phone hardware isn’t spying on you. It’s just hardware.
The critical piece tying your phone to Google every 3 minutes is called “play services”.
Calyxos was an OS for the pixel hardware that replaced play services with a FOSS library (called microG) which tricked regular apps into thinking they were talking to and getting responses from Google, when it was actually all happening on your phone.
Soon of a bitch 😓
Well, that was fun.
Why not actually say the alternatives??
Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.
E: nevermind. It was great while it lasted.
Your ashamed mother, fuck you.
😬 damn, sorry homie. I guess if it’s lifetime warranted, resell the replacements?
Not particularly relevant, but it’ll help you see through marketing dreck no matter how it evolves: Plasma arcs can go that high in temp, but has no effect on what makes something “hard” or “soft”: interatomic bond strength. I’m certain you know this, but carbon (as in the diamond) holds hands really strongly with other carbon, more strongly than iron to iron as in a steel spatula.
In theory, an actual diamond surface (not sprayed on, but grown) would be impervious to steel implements. But in reality, making a fully uniform diamond coating is extremely difficult, and thus tear-jerkingly expensive.
Spraying chunks of diamond onto a surface as the mfgr has done really means there’s a thin sticky coating on the pan before they start, so that these hot pieces of diamond partly melt into it and are “glued”. Safe bet that later is PTFE. That means when your pan is hot on the stove, the layer softens and you wind up eating little bits of diamond with each meal. One day, food sticks, as you’ll have found a spot missing too many diamonds, it’s just the substrate with a bunch of tiny holes to make food stick even worse than a smooth plastic surface.
