Would your username be in any way related to your appreciation of spicy food?

You don't have to reply back with the person's name, unless it's unclear who you're addressing, which should be abundantly clear in an interaction like:

"Hey Devin!" "Hey, what's up."

Adding the "what's up" is important though, or something to the same effect ("how are you", ...), because it helps support the conversation and keep it flowing.

Just mirroring the "Hey" can feel terse and unwelcoming, like you're not interested in talking because you're not providing the other person a "conversational path" they can follow up on.

As the conversation continues, usually both parts will be providing "paths" that the other can choose to take, according to their interests.

Back in 2015, the brothers pled guilty in Virginia to a scheme involving wire fraud and computers. Muneeb was sentenced to three years in prison, while Sohaib got two.

I'm not gonna say there were signs that these two weren't the most law abiding of citizens to begin with, buuuuut...

Despite the crazed wanna be dictator, Hungary has been in the EU and NATO for a couple of decades now.

But since Orban loves to suck putins balls, he probably will try to spin it as an attack on Hungarian energy sources and thus on EU itself.

Bullshit, but I'm sure he'll try it.

Are you sure? I thought Denethor was one of the first Scottish High Stewards.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you, this feels like a metaphor for life...

Well yes, but it still needs to be proved in court that it was illegal, and that Musk was the responsible.

I hope this carries actual jail time... but 100% they will reach a plea bargain where Musk pays some pocket change and doesn't even admit to wrongdoing.

So instead you compete with a host of polyamorous people, or he's keeping to FWBs...?

The post still sounds like you're boning him though.

Does it still look like it's from 1998?

It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore...

You're confusing it with New Zealand, which is clearly made up.

Make no mistake, this is certainly being circulated in the astroturf groups all around. There's always someone honking "dems did it first so it's ok" and dimwits will eat it up because fact checking and thinking is hard.

A valid point. Perhaps the exams should be changed to account for this right now.

 

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
