Thinking about Cassini's final plunge into Saturn always makes me tear up.

Sounds like a good way to dispose of a body.

Shouldn't there be some elephants in there somewhere?

Set "Cheese" to 11!

This is so accurate.

I've said it before: Transmetropolitan significantly overestimated the impact of Spider Jerusalem publishing the crooked politician's secrets. In reality the people who love him won't believe you and the people who don't love him don't need convincing.

One of my favorites. That droning synth line, those vibes.

It's interesting to compare verilog with gardening:
* you spend a lot of time and effort doing something that won't pay off until later.
* the moment you turn your back bugs creep in.
* now and then you can look at the results with pride.
* Next year you'll have to do it all again.

As an electrical engineer who worked in digital communications, I thoroughly endorse this statement of fact.

What could possibly go wrong?

Aircraft carriers are basically just big boats so it stands to reason that they'll roll a bit when cornering, but you just don't imagine what it means when something the size of a small town does so.

Wow - thanks for that. I used to drive through that area a few times a year and miss those vistas.

Love Voids w/ orange eyes.

My Dad once said that about one of my cats. It took me a while to forgive him for that.

There are those who say that cats don't have the musculature necessary to show facial expressions. We call these people "wrong".

Checks out.

Microwave PCB design is crazy stuff. Check out YT videos from The Signal Path where he's done some reverse-engineering and explanation of similar boards.

My last PCB order took 4 days from placing the order until they were at the doorstep. Not a lot of time to write the code - fortunately I'd written most of the it during the breadboard phase leading up to the PCB design, so that wasn't a problem.

Companies that publish LLM-generated "information" need to be held accountable when the LLM's hallucinations harm others. 90% accuracy is still pollution when you factor in the millions of queries that they generate per hour.

It's a challenge. While you can find decent mic amps in many general-purpose mixers, the low-noise gain and power supply rejection that's needed in this application requires analog design chops that most Eurorack mfgs just don't have.

Well deserved!

I grew up next to a few ponds in SW Ohio. There were a lot of toads. I miss them.

It's fascinating to see the way things were done back at the beginning. I did some RE on the 1986 MIDIverb a few years ago and the shortcuts & optimizations were amazing.

And what's worse they don't publish service manuals either.
