So I wanted some new year pork belly... Loaded up the grilla with three chunks. At about 9pm last night they were hovering around 180 degrees. I was going to give it another hour and give it a check. Well I had walked out to a grease fire happening. Pulled the pork (what was left of it) and put out the small fire. Some cosmetic damage: and three pork briquettes. The middle one might have some salvable pork on the inside. I will deal with that later. I need to clean everything up because I have a slab of salmon to smoke up. Happy New Year! 🥳

Aw, too fucking hip, that's amazing! Yay science and your nephew!

Here you go. I forward the previous pic. Should be visible now.

Somewhat ironic - since I'm not in the UK, your post is showing me exactly the same amplifier picture I posted earlier :). I see the problem though and I think it's been brough up before in this forum. I was hoping for Imgur to resolve this, but if it persists and/or spreads I might look for another image host.

personally I set my vpn tunnel location to the USA and then I can see the images... at least until the uk makes vpn tunnels illegal...

As soon as you guys start using IMGUR, we cannot see content in the UK. This is because the UK on-line regulator OFCOM is suing IMGUR as a result of lack of assurance regarding harmful content to minors (AKA under 18!). IMGUR has responded by simply showing a blue screen with "Content not viewable in your region" in large letters. This describes the decision https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo IMGUR images look like this from the UK

Stranger Things Season Five. Four episodes in and it's getting good.

Looks fantastic.

We skipped the BEPs this year as the luck thing hasn't worked for the last few. Went with a whole einkorn wheat flatbread with onions, shallots, anaheim peppers, gouda, cheddar, parmigiano, and herbs.

Dining on good luck black eyed peas and collard greens.

That's incredibly cool Todd!

Today NASA hosted a chat session with my nephew. We got to catch up with him, talk about things he's doing, etc. He took us on a bit of a tour and we got to see his view from ISS. And....fancy that....the world really IS round! 🤣 'Twas very very cool! Pics are screen captures, and video quality was so-so. But wow.....

Streaming a day early this week https://www.twitch.tv/philodox42

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.
