Do you have to have them do the assembly too for that service to kick in? I’ve ordered bare PCBs a couple of times and wasn’t aware of it.
- Comment on Behold: A vibe-designed pcb 3 days ago:
Too thin as in “not suitable for the amount of current,” or too thin as in “exceeding the capability of the manufacturing process you chose?” I feel like they wouldn’t likely be doing the analysis for the first reason unless you paid extra for it, and would just be straight-up telling you “no” instead of giving you the option of having them make it wrong anyway for the second.
- Comment on People assume I can't speak Welsh because I'm not white 4 days ago:
I feel like this attitude is bigoted in more than one way:
- it’s anti-POC for obvious reasons
- it’s anti-Welsh because it implicitly assumes nobody who isn’t ethnically Welsh would have a reason to learn the language (because it’s dying or whatever).

And I suppose no one sober would choose to start drinking on the side of the road in a car.
And guess what: having an open container of alcohol in a car is it’s own separate crime, just to make sure all those bases are covered.

If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn’t shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you’re doing it wrong.

Yeah, but it’s still just a single pixel of light from the star. It just changes color slightly when the planet passes in front of it and the atmosphere gases absorb certain characteristic wavelengths.
- Comment on "Any update is a bonus not a right": Peak co-developer Landfall reminds impatient fans it's not a live-service studio 2 weeks ago:
I agree, assuming the game was released reasonably “complete” and with a minimum of bugs the first time. Or in other words, if the devs were held to the same standard as they were back in the '90s, when games got mastered to physical media once and routine, easy bug fix updates weren’t a thing.

Got a link? I found one AJC article with a recipe for the tuna salad, which uses the ranch dressing as an ingredient, but it doesn’t include a recipe for the dressing itself.
- Comment on Anon dips 2 weeks ago:
Nothing wrong with thick, if it’s got good flavor. I wish I had gotten Po’ Folks (a southern food restaurant chain local to me) ranch dressing recipe before it went out of business during the pandemic. It actually had identifiable chunks of minced carrot etc. suspended in it.
I miss it so much, along with a few other things from that place, that I’m almost motivated to try to track down somebody who used to work there and remembers.

- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 2 weeks ago:
That’s typically one of the warrants. In addition to vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes, other warrants include things like vehicle approach speed, sight distance, and crash statistics.
- Comment on California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park 2 weeks ago:
The city ultimately determined the intersection did not meet the required traffic volume for additional stop signs
For the record, this is 100% a lie. Every single warrant document (list of criteria) used by an engineer will have two magic words written at the bottom of the list:
“Engineering judgement.”
That means there is no such thing as a “required traffic volume” for a stop sign or any other kind of signal or marking. If the engineer, in his professional judgement, agrees that one is warranted, it’s warranted.
Engineers who hide behind things like warrants, pretending their hands are tied by them, are cowards and aren’t doing their jobs properly.

What grid? It looks like the “power box” on the wall is generating power for that house all by itself, no transmission necessary.
Considering that the smallest operating nuclear reactor ever made was this big…
…and that critical mass is a thing, I can only assume the “power box” was some kind of RTG.

I was pro-nuclear until Georgia Power stuck me with the bill for Plant Vogtle 3 and 4.
(Or rather, I was pro-nuclear until shortly after construction began on a 7-year plan that ultimately took 15 years, when it started to become clear that gross incompetence and corruption was going to make it an expensive debacle.)
Nuclear power from Vogtle 3 and 4 costs 16¢ per kWh (according to the linked document), by the way, compared to less than 0.1¢ per kWh expected by OP’s comic.

Soft launch is when you make it available to the public for a while before advertising it.

I’m not sure exactly which space characters are supposed to be used on 4Chan, but doing it here I tried two spaces and it was too far left, then three and it was too far right. I ended up with two regular non-breaking spaces and one thin non-breaking space, and that’s as good as I can get it.
It looks almost right for me, on both the default web UI/Firefox/Linux and Voyager/Android.

- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 3 weeks ago:
It was the first season (and only 10 episodes in, at that, because TV production is stupid these days).
Imagine if you could only judge, say, TNG on the first 10 episodes.
