Rep. Don Bacon is a wanker. Shit or get off the pot. This wannabe dictator is threatening to shut down elections and post soldiers to US cities that aren’t actually in need of it. Do your job and stop flapping your mouth, wanker.

Only 56k people? Of that population, how many are voting age? It’s about 42k.

There’s always about 15-30% of a population who are outright authoritarian, so they’ll vote for the leadership that strips them of their rights (see: conservatives).

That means if the US feds moved about 10000 families (about 19,000 fascist voters) to Greenland it would make a supermajority for the right. This would cost somewhere between $300 million and $1 billion for the move and about $100 mil/year and in maintenance while the economy shifts to handle the influx.

Do you believe that the current administration couldn’t pry a few billion dollars to buy a permanent two R-voting senators from the education budget?

“Congratulations to Drugs for winning the War on Drugs”

It turns out the problem isn’t the drugs. It’s mostly people in bad situations needing tools to cope or escape for a while. What works more then laws and cops is more equitable wealth distributions, healthcare, reasonable living costs, cities with 3rd place communities, and education.

The biggest advantage to CAN bus is that it’s a true multi-master bus. Any node can broadcast at any time. The other nodes will back off (there’s a priority list for the nodes) and allow transmissions through. It’s not a master/slave kind of system where nodes send/receive to addresses. A node broadcasts on the bus and the other nodes can decide whether to receive and act on the message, which opens up a much more distributed system of pub/sub style architecture, but with embedded systems.

The other biggie is that it uses a differential voltage transmission. Much like the difference between RS232 and RS485. A CAN bus may stretch 10’s to 100’s of meters, depending upon transmission speeds. With that kind of range, you can now wire up larger hardline sensor and controller systems for human-scale environments which I2C and SPI just can’t do. It’s also much more robust to handle noise on the lines, though it takes hardware level support for many of the features.

I haven’t picked a ATTiny 10 programmer yet. For my ATTtiny 85 chips I have a Arduino shield that I wired up. For ATTiny 84 and ATMega 328p I have USB driven boards with ZIF sockets to make inserting/removing the microcontroller chips easier. Basically really cheap ones I found on Aliexpress years ago and they keep working just fine.

I use a combination of the ArduinoIDE and the ArduinoCLI to program the chips, depending upon the project and how much effort I want in my build toolchain.

Among the raw microcontrollers, the ATTiny 84/85 needs the least analog wiring support. The ATMega 328p needs you to provide at least a little external wiring.

Have you tried anything with CAN Busses? That has applications in robotics and automobiles.

I really like working with raw microcontrollers. I’ll just use a ATMega 328p or an At tiny 84/85 to drive something sans breakout or interface boards.

Someday I’ll find an excuse to use an ATTiny 10, but I just haven’t so far.

Given that there’s no proof he exists and (if you’re a Bible person) he claimed he’d be back before the original followers in 0 CE would die, he’s well behind on his own schedule. He’s about as fast as California High Speed Rail or any small construction project in Germany.

Once Cali HSR is finished, your “Lord” would consider taking it to SF for some R&R.

I’m actually both a student of history and old. I played this as a kid.

Highlight->Middle paste has been my friend for decades now. Using it from SunOS in the 90-s to now has been a great feature. It’s the quickest way to copy and paste while I’m working fast with text or data entry.

I love having both clipboards be functional. The latest rounds of tools that have stopped being as compatible with it has been no end of problems in my workflow. I’ll copy with the keyboard, highlight some text and then paste both clipboards somewhere else.

No, using the keyboard here isn’t as fast, don’t bother making that argument, especially since ctrl-c means different things in different places on Unix style systems. Left hand stays home row while the right is forced to leave for the mouse since it’s a GUI.

I’ve had to deal with many tools that don’t respect keyboard cut/paste as well. Add in that some tools like putty or git bash on windows have ctrl-ins for paste?

Panning in CAD/design is usually click and hold middle or even a two button system (freecad), so trying to take a middle click for that isn’t buying uniformity.

The copy/paste world is already fractured enough. Keep the highlight/middle click working so we can go fast. I might be a dinosaur, but I’m a fast dinosaur.

What? No way. I despise their captive scrolling stuff. Every time I get forced onto a windows system I forget that middle mouse is a weird scrolling mode and end up wandering randomly up and down pages until I realize what happened.

The biggest limitation on the older models is RAM. There’s other issues with network contention (the Ethernet is actually a USB device on the board), raw CPU (especially gen 1 boards), but really it’s all about the RAM.

I use these kinds of boards for more hardware/embedded kinds of situations. No GUI Linux machines will easily run in 200-400MB of RAM before you start spinning up additional services or tools.

If you’re really RAM blocked you can use a more stripped down Linux install or even hop to BSD and run real lean on resources for the OS. All of these options can still run most network services or simple build/dev kinds of support systems. They could be message queue servers, run GPIO-driven hardware systems, be sensor platforms, run DNS/DHCP/PiHole kinds of systems, be a speaker driver endpoint for a larger system, bong a clock sound every hour, or whatever. That’s just what I could come up with while typing on the fly. If you start adding hardware to the IO ports it just goes nuts what even the older boards are capable of.

Cocktails. Just need some bottles.

Let’s see the coats. That sounds like a blast, especially for your doggo buddy.

They know you MUST defend the children, so it’s a way of ensuring you’ll be afraid of them. It’s just more ways to inflict cruelty on everyone else by using children as hostages against us.

A key element of narcissism is that nothing really matters except the one person. The world is basically just something that happens and should always center around them. He’s one of the biggest narcissists to ever exist so suffering and pain in others means nothing to him. It never has and never will.

I agree with jay: unless you’re already an EU citizen, you’ll need to look at the visas and immigration rules for each of the countries more than just which languages to focus on.

I don’t know a lot about their immigration rules or LGBTQ+ situations. I moved to Germany because of the work visa options I had at the time.

I’ve brought up dating and going out to my kids because finding a partner in life really does help people be happier in the long run.

What we’ve never done is to say anyone should be married or have children. That’s 100% their choice. I’ve raised kids, I don’t need grandkids running around on my behalf. Kids are energy suckers and expensive. I love them, and am well aware of how much they cost me. No one should have that forced upon them. You do you.

Huge hugs from a dad who just wants you to be happy in your own way.

Nice work NYC on picking someone who is acting in favor of the citizens. High hopes and long term goals should both be pursued, so far and so good.

Berlin is such a melting pot. “Whatever, just wash your hands and recycle that trash properly.”

Mülltrennung (waste separation) is a big deal in Germany.

Ich hatte viele CivCTP gespielt. Sehr spass.

Actually, I haven’t tried it yet. It’s on the list for a visit, though.
