I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.
I haven’t felt good about that company since.
I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.
I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!
In printing it’s a little different, but if you need an exact color you can add it to the process, much like adding a varnish or other fancy finish.
Orange was always a problem when I was a designer. It had to be specific, you had to send a Pantone chip along, hope it hadn’t faded or changed color over the years (or buy new ones constantly) and then it still came out different than planned.
We had a legit swear jar in a vocational class in HS (in the 90s). It was 25¢ per swear unless is was at the teacher, then it was a dollar.
We had pizza at the end of the semester from the proceeds.
The teacher later got canned for throwing a hammer at a student, but it was after my time there.
They’ll probably just force you to use an app that gets removed from the app stores when the next breaking OS change hits.
The dogs like the lean-to, but we still sleep in the Bus (no mice in it!).
You have to go to the failing farmland parts of VT. Way up north and east of Burlington.
There are lots of small towns with nothing but a dollar store or a 45 minute drive to a Walmart. It’s weird because half the places have those American/canadian friendship flags and the other half have confederate flags.
I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.
It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.
It’s also why I’m poor
The cable I recently bought at Microcenter mentioned support for 24 and 48v charging.
They can keep Toledo now that they’ve ruined it, but it’s clearly a chunk out of Michigan if you look at the maps.
Fucking Ohio. Except Cedar Point maybe, haven’t be there in 15 years though, it might suck now too.
Also kids learn to rhyme words around preschool and will invent the bad words anyway while babbling away. Most people give them a pass on this I think though.
We let our son know when he found words that aren’t appropriate for public use both when he “made them up” and when he heard people using it in songs or other people talking, or mom and dad in traffic occasionally.
He got the concept right away, but he’s also a great kid who wants please most of the time, especially at school or in public.
I’ve been thinking of setting up a node at my local ski area, both for others to use, but also to make custom timing equipment that can send start and finish messages to the timing computer and keep us from having to haul wires up icy race courses all winter.
I’ve never actually set one up or used one yet though, so it’s probably a few years off.
Still not as bad as NH though!
So you’re saying it’s not going to get better for me next year either?
I know NiMH are way easier to charge, but lifepo4 has better capacity and way more charging cycles I believe.
The tricky thing with iron phosphate is that the voltage level between 75-80 and fully charged is very flat, so it’s difficult to reliably know the state of charge.
Switching to LiFePo and making the batteries easy to swap along a trip, is a better way to reduce fires.
Or solid state maybe? Not sure how flammable they are, but I know LiFePo are much lower risk than standard lithium ion (Nickle cobalt or whatever Tesla and the big Chevy trucks use )
Edited for spelling
There’s one near an elementary school in our fucking town.

It wasn’t as long when I fist saw it, but I don’t know if it got longer than this as I moved away years ago.
Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.
Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.
