That reminds me, related to my previous post: I have never, ever been a fan of Destiny's Child, so by default I prefer this version. It's a decent soft rock/almost disco track until the Bee Gees come in, then it's like a solid rocket booster of groove kicked in.

the power of that part is 170mw. so the stn0214 should work. make sure the pinout is correct. mouser has thousands of ksc5026 in stock. the extra diode cannot hurt. not sure what it is supposed to do.

(sends airhugs) Condolences, both about your aunt and your veganism. No, seriously, you're a better man than I.

So sorry Ozgur....especially difficult when there's family "things" going on. Glad you and your dad got to visit and pay respect. RIP to your aunt....

My aunt who was suffering from cancer passed away this morning, imho she was in extremely bad shape, her suffering end. Me and my father went ro their home for condolences, my mother didn't. People who didn't know what has happened between them keep asking for her. It was fucking sad and awkward. At least my mother isn't angry with me and my father for visiting them. Gonna attend the funeral tomorrow. Other than that 1st day of being vegan was easy. Got some vitamin supplements for not risking proper Nourishment and plant(pea) based protein powder.

Happy New Year everyone! Bit bittersweet for me. The last few years Karen and I have had mixed celebrations: 3 years ago at some friends' place in NH, we went to bed early but watched the ball drop on streaming. Two years ago, same friends weren't feeling well so we skipped, but watched the ball drop. Last year, too tired, went to bed early. This year, I fell asleep reading, but woke up at ~11:40 to turn on the TV and watch the ball drop. When the clock struck midnight, I turned to the other side of the bed...and started crying. The sweet side was some of my closest friends sharing pics and texts for the New Year, our bonds are ever closer. Hoping that 2026 is a much better year....for me, for my family, for all of us here, and for our country and the world!

Can we replace the Q7 KSC5026 with STN0214 ? Since someone mentioned it can be replaced in GRHV build. Also, an extra 1N4007 may be good here(photo 2) for further protection i guess. Try to shrink the size of the PCB and see how far we can go.

@Knuckledragger I'm sure you've heard this before, but I was triggered by this video to listen to the whole song

Started watching "The Beast In Me" on Netflix, with Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys. Supposedly uses the production team from "Homeland", which I always like. The series follows an author (Danes) who begins writing a book about her new next-door neighbor (Rhys), a real estate executive who allegedly killed his wife. Two episodes in, and it has captured my attention.

This would never happen at a Waffle House. No, seriously, RIP IHOP person.

I became full Vegan today. So no more dairy products as well.

Hoping for a much better 2026 than its predecessor.

Today, one of the staff at this same IHOP was shot and killed in the kitchen while the restaurant was open. I mean the food wasn't that bad...😲

All that was a side effect which doesn’t say much in favor of human nature.

... But her artistic mishap created an economic boon for Borja, a town of 5,000 inhabitants. Tourists flocked to see her efforts. Less than three years later, more than 150,000 visitors from Japan, Brazil, the United States and elsewhere had made a trip to Borja, paying one euro, about $1.20, to view her work under a protective clear cover. Local officials told The Times in 2014 that the tourism spike had stabilized the town’s restaurant industry and helped the area’s institutions. The nearby Museo de la Colegiata, which houses religious medieval art, experienced a rise in annual visits to 70,000, from 7,000. Vineyards in the region squabbled over the rights to put Mrs. Giménez’s Christ on their labels. In 2016, two Americans even staged an opera about the affair in the same church. Mrs. Giménez, once ridiculed, became a beloved figure, even handing out prizes for a competition of young artists who had painted their own “Ecce Homo” portraits. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/world/europe/spain-jesus-fresco-restoration-painter-gimenez-dead.html

michika: chill mix with Japanese grandpa at a stationery shop

Oh come on, poor woman . I think it’s terrible that someone lets you do such thing when you’re not qualified for the job, but being remembered after your death for it…
