Oh that’s a good one. I had a coal stove that had an idle timer (mechanical clock) to keep the fire going when the thermostat wasn’t calling for heat. It stopped working and the factory said they don’t make them anymore, but I could special order a thirty party replacement for $250. I replaced it with an Arduino, a relay shield and a 20 line program for < $10. If I was more electrically inclined, I could have powered it from the stove’s power. Instead, there is a USB cord sticking out the back =]
Does it get hot at all? The heating element is just a coil of metal that can break. They can break easily if you put clothes in it that are too wet (like dripping). Once it breaks, it severs the current, so no heat. There should also be a fuse right next to it. These are all simple continuity checks if you have a meter.
I’ve done similar to a part on my dryer’s control board, and a GPU’s vram. In both cases, there was no diagnostic needed because the part showed some kind of physical damage. You would be surprised how often things can be fixed for 1% the cost of replacing.
You got it correct there. If it’s junk, open it up, and take a look. It might be obvious. Given the rising cost of stuff like GPUs, this could become more relevant.

If they had not been violating the 25th, the others would have been fine.


Everyone here just lap lapping it up …


Dog! There’s a book in a library in a school in a state I don’t live in that mentions trans. I have no other choice here…

Maybe, we should flood the virtual streets as well? I’m sure the tech bros are providing support here. Flood these idiots with AI bullshit too. Make it unreliable to use such tactics.


… was not was he was saying?!


Anyone who says “reach across the isle” in the primary is an automatic no. These people are not interested in governing. They are openly hostile.
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
^ Maybe we should prevent this sort of thing, no?
I vaguely remember a movie or show that was compiling something with cmake which has some pretty clean output.


Yes, I misread it.


Reading comprehension smh


She wasn’t facing me. I remember most of the room went quiet at first including her, but I don’t remember what happened after that. So I guess, shock?


Not me, but I witnessed it. ~7th grade 2 boys were playing a game between the rows of desks where they interlock the fingers of one of each of their hands. Then, they smack the back of their interlocked hands with their free hand until one of them quits and let’s go. The teacher was walking up and down the rows… apparently okay with this. I’m not sure of the exact sequence of events, but somehow, the planets aligned. One of them quit while the other was mid swing and he slapped the teacher’s ass. Hard. Hard enough that it made a loud clap. The look on that kid’s face… blushing red and turning pale at the same time.


A kid got hit on his bike in my community recently. I’m not sure of the outcome. What is the town doing about it? The local police are stopping kids and giving them fines for not wearing helmets…


Or logic
Drone dropped water balloons and eggs it is.
