  You’re getting a 10 ohm resistor and liking it.

  Astrophysicists would be happy with a 1 ohm resistor.

  Welcome to the field of engineering! Your first lesson will be; “Tolerances and you”!

    +/-15 %? Good enough!

      pi == 3

      Cringes in Monte Carlo.

      As a calibration technician, this makes me hurt. Lol.

      If it fits, great! If it doesn’t, you didn’t use enough tape.

    Pi is roughly 5.

      Never, in any engineering field, have I EVER seen anyone simplify pi to 5. For that matter, I have never seen anyone simplify to 3. It is always 3.14. I feel like pi simplification is a weird meme that people think engineers do but is never practiced anywhere.

      It’s like if there was a meme about chefs saying they always replace eggs with grapefruit. No they don’t, and it’s nonsense to think they do.

    Second lesson: Pi is around 3.

  Where are the spherical cows?

  • Num10ck@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    would be a great band name

    No no no no, I think you got that wrong. Chickens are spherical, cows on the other hand are cuboid. And humans are cylindrical.

    • MyFriendGodzilla@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Chickens, cows, and humans all are toroids. True story.

  The humble potentiometer:

  • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The least reliable resistor. Not to mention the trial-and-error getting it close enough to the target value.

    source

    • Spacehooks@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      linear potentiometer 100% pain, but Multi meter and rotary or digital potentiometer could be simple enough.

  I kinda wonder if there’s a specific reason for that number other than just being an ass.

    2pi

  just get a variable resistance, aka a potentiometer.
