there's also more fun stuff like https://www.electricalvolt.com/cvt-constant-voltage-transfor...

I thought it's about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer

idk why you think "nation states" are any better at corporate governance than poster examples of bad like f/ex Boeing. Or Facebook. Or Microsoft. Or Enron for that matter.

I assure you, in "nation states", that is in gov agencies it's an order or two of magnitude worse.

Did you ditch nginx for the same reason?

I remember the time when I did not need any fancy frameworks, webfonts, tons of JS and effin cdns to present my thoughts to the world.

This time is now. Your bickering about how to more efficienty bloat a page is... pitiful.

Doesn't matter. They're instututionally incapable to rising back to the art of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", so it's all water under the bridge.

Radioactivity has nothing to do with it.

Was solved in Mi-6/Mi-8/Mi-26 blades without it.

Spy vs Spy touch is very nice. Thank you.

What's the point though? If you got the stuff it's better run in UAE. If you have none I don't trust you and therefore think the Amiga name is misleading. To gain trust here show some code running in UAE.

There is no point in "porting to Godot" because either you port Amiga stuff to UAE-likes or FPGAs or you in fact advertise "AN AI REWROTE MY CRAP GWBASIC GAME FROM 93 LOL". Lol. Which is riduculous.

and people will just laugh.

also 68k asm is actually human-readable compared to x86.

At this point we must have a drink to that.

But serioslly when IPOs were not a sad joke? In early 1990s? But I think never.

Well, IF. If you have enough skill you can a do stoppie in a turn, turn around and shoot off the way you came from. But this is bordering on stunt riding, not something to be relied on for day-to-day riding where you have to have enough margin to account for being not very focused, road having various low-friction crap that fell off a truck, crazy pedestrians, car drivers asleep etc.

I just adjust the brake handle light switch so that lights go up before there is any brake force applied, so that you can float it just by feel. Idk, this is what 90s japanese bikes did right from the factory. Then train that "drop throttle" is equivalent to "pull front brake to ready" and light comes on.

It's motorcycling basics really.

What he names "fishtailing" is what is known as "highside" in motorbike circles. When the rear wheel loses grip, it and the entire frame except the front fork moves sideways. When the rear wheel inevitably retains grip, the resulting force violently flips the whole. On a bicycle this is rare and survivable, on a 200+kg mc not very much so.

In a turn you either apply energy if that is at all possible (usually), or just steer. It is recommended to accelerate inside a turn, because that way you can better control grip on the rear due to not accidentally engine-braking (not applicable to bicycles), and because thrust on the rear wheel helps the bike into the turn (applicable to bicycles).

Braking in a turn is a last-effort thing, taken only if you are certain that it'll lessen damage from otherwise imminent crash.

Biking is traction/grip control at all times. Traction is always shared between steering and brake/accel. You do not want less control in a turn, and loss of traction means loss of steering.

So you do not ever brake in a turn.

You decelerate on a straight before it. If a turn goes bad for whatever reason, that means that a) you made a mistake entering it at the speed you did, and b) now you choose what to crash into, and then execute the crash while hoping that your protection holds, which might include hard front brake and a steering input so that you lowside feet (and bike) first into the obstacle. But not before.

So the first lesson of bike-riding is being aware at all times of available traction.

95% use of fronts follows: you only use them on straights, and there they are much more efficient than rears because the whole mass of you and bike enhances front wheel traction. cf. the wheelie.

That's a lowside. Turn very gently if weather invites ice (or wet autumn leaves which are about as creepy as ice), never use front brakes.

Locking and then suddenly reacquiring grip on the rear wheel causes highsides on motorbikes, it's when you fly out of the seat and into the oncoming 18-wheeler. But it's quite hard to do on bicycles.

Fronts are useful when you have to decelerate rapidly while travelling in straight line, but in turns you just don't touch them ever.

edit: and on a decent motorbike/scooter you learn to not use brakes except in emergency, 95% of all deceleration is handled by just dropping the throttle.

Certainly.

> Who will get the bailouts instead is the pension funds and other investment vehicles

It's the same thing in the end. Bailouts don't come from outer space, we all pay for delusions of few.

^^ The truth, the truth!

Second level is that their target market is top management that are also incapable of anything except "the immediate surface appearance".

Well yes. I for one won't sign up for an odd one-off job for a stranger because it more often than not ends up in a quagmire of unfulfilled miscommunicated expectations. It's not fraud per se, it's just.. a wrong approach.

Join a community first, ask for help after that.

I thought we were talking about how eLoran is cheap enough.

But if you are about jamming, well. Either discontinue AIS/ADS-B or directed VHF jammers are not that conspicious. Not even a PESA, 60s tech.

Sufficiently pure dichloromethane is also fun stuff. It just eats through most any gloves, plastics, whatever. Even PET, and only polyethylene is somewhat resistant.

LD50 about 2mg/kg oral. By oral it's meant that well.. if you soak your hands in it it will be worse.

Still it's the goto thinner for f/ex gluing ABS. I have a couple liters sitting on the shelf right beside me.

well, easily. any organophosphorus stuff for example.

Even a 160m guy-wire tower is cheap. 40m.. my friend installed 32m one just to have better internets, not exactly out of pocket cash, but nothing compared to say swapping a car.

What your phone shows to app land is entirely different thing. I'm talking about the backbone.

Who cared, we were 15 at the time.

Besides you worry too much. Entire cities were wired with cat5 hanged off steel cable between 9 to 15 story buildings in early 2000s, before fiber. Nothing burned down.

IIRC crossovers are pre-2000, yes. "Fast Ethernet" or 100Base-T adapters usually could talk over straight link.

edit: as for length, it depends. you won't get a gigabit over 150m of crap cat3, but you will get a link, even if it's 10 half-duplex.

I remember we played warcraft 2 over ~15m of cat3 cable stretched outside between two flats on 6th floor. Those were the times, lol.

Well, any 3G or later mobile backbone is SIP+SCTP over IPv6. So in many ways it won already

I wonder is there a market for portable EMP guns to disable crap like that? I mean, it's pretty trivial to make one out of shocker, some foil and a ditched microwave oven and it will kill most any electronics on sight.

Okay.

It is a small font within a small column which wastes like 60+% space of a screen, and I use tabs, eh? Tabs are not windows, I will not resize my browser just because of one single tab.

This is a horizontal 24" 1920x1200, not a fucking phone.

so I respectfully plead for you and everyone else to forget those ridiculous horizontal margins.
