She's about as self-made as her dad's vagina.

It turned into a nail biter. I didn't get called up until the first round of peremptory challenges was done. They questioned us and selected the 12 jurors with the plaintiff passing the jury repeatedly. I was left as the first alternate, which would be the worst of all words because I have to sit through a two to three week trial and don't get to decide it unless somebody drops off. Plaintiff passed again with me as alternate, and defendant dinged the neurologist next to me because it is a traffic accident case with an alleged traumatic brain injury. The fucking plaintiff passed again but the defense finally dinged me. Thank goodness. This isn't the trial I would want for my first jury service and being an alternate would suck!

Made a couple of big decisions today. I'm not running for president in 2020. And I'll marry Kylie Jenner if she insists.

I've discussed this topic with JoaMat early on. His advise is that the +220VDC be supplied by its own regulator instead of using a drop resistor from the B+. The top device, HN4A51J, is a dual transistor chip and need to be careful not to overheat it. The draw on the +220VDC rail should be around 20-30mA both channels combined.

I'm sitting in the jury assembly room watching a video to teach me about the US justice system and jury trials. Interesting stuff.

Closed on my new home late yesterday and moved today. Too tired to celebrate tonight but picked these up so I am ready. 4 months living in limbo. I am home now.

Last night, in reality, but Steve made his famous Tice's Bacon Mac-n-Cheese for dinner. Other than its deliciousness, the song says it all... E9888757-4791-4D1F-9EAE-AB0C8C4E1483.MOV

Happy extra-belated birthday!

Right to a jury in civil trials was stuck in the constitution, at least in large part, to make it harder for the English to recoup debts in American courts after the war. Which is to say, jury nullification is the whole raison d'etre.

Custom computer build inside an ammo case. How cool is that?

I was on two panels but rejected both times by the defense attorney. I'm okay with that. Ran into him on the street after the last jury selection and he told me the reason he rejected me was I was too sure of myself and would influence the jury. I am okay with that as well.

Argh, me too. I was on a plane. Happy Birthday Nate!

Wow, missed your big day here and FB! Apparently you had a great day, so that's nice. Belated birthday greetings my friend! Cheers!

Mmm, English health food.

Squeezed this amp into a small Modushop case. Tight fit for the caps, but it works. Doesn't get particularly warm. An interesting alternative for planars.
