- Comment on Antique Electro-Cautery Unit: Measuring voltage with ADC and general safety. 12 hours ago:I looked at the ZMPT101B, not sure if it will work at that low a voltage. Did some quick looking at the ideal diode modules available on Amazon, but they were just schottky drop or so. Sparkfun had one that might work. Ideal diode is definitely the right sort of thing, just have to find one ideal enough. If I can find the right one, it should work. I’ve been looking at precision rectifier op amp circuits. Even half wave gets me what I need. 
- Comment on Antique Electro-Cautery Unit: Measuring voltage with ADC and general safety. 12 hours ago:That would be modern practice, wouldn’t it? It won’t affect operation at all and should be safer. Ground wire wasn’t really a thing when this was made. I’ll be doing this.

- Comment on CNC 3 days ago:Porque no los dos? I’ve found that subs really dig it when you’ve machined your own spanky tools… Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel… 
- Comment on I'm blue ba da ba da dee da ba dieee 5 days ago:Huh. I’m not sure how far back furries go. If not, it’s certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34. 
- Comment on I'm blue ba da ba da dee da ba dieee 5 days ago:This was covered back in '93 on usenet. Behold: Smuckfest! 
- Comment on American cops think they're what American firemen ARE. 2 weeks ago:Might think about taking a break for a while. I have to, sometimes. Do some camping and mostly unplug. Anything real big goes down and you’ll hear about it. Marathon, not a sprint. Fuck em, we’re harder. Country boy can survive. 
- Comment on Won't you come 2 weeks ago:That’s fantastic. I’ve known a lot folks that talk like Boomhauer, (I’ve been told I do, as well.) 
- Comment on Won't you come 2 weeks ago:Black Hole Sun and Beavis and Butthead were both on MTV back then. I don’t remember if they watched the video on the show. Anyhow, that video was up there with NIN’s Closer for general weird awesomness. The crazy smiles and expanding eyes are burned into my memory. Also, proto Hank Hill on Beavis and Butthead. I remember my grandfather being very upset about the “Beaver and Butthole” show. 
- Comment on  4 weeks ago:I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak. This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids. 
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:He sounds like a pretty awesome dude. Thanks for sharing. Also sounds like he has you pretty well trained, he gets to ride and sniff. We don’t have a small dog right now, our elderly Chihuahua reached the end a couple years ago and my wife is still raw. 
- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 5 weeks ago:I never really figured out you had to drive as fast as possible and that the fuel level was actually a countdown timer. I was crazy about the cartoon and remember being so disappointed with the game. 
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 5 weeks ago:That’s really funny to me. What was his name and what was he like? 
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 5 weeks ago:Rock and Roll! What cheap woods are the most impact resistant for splintering and splitting? What is the best way to cure wood to prevent splitting without a kiln? Slap a heavy coat of latex paint on a log/burl/root and let it sit 6mo/year? What are the most machinable hardwoods? (In particular as regards tearout, warping, and tolerance of thin sections) In your opinion, what is an available underappreciated or interesting wood to work? 
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 5 weeks ago:Are you actually a wood scientist; and, if so, can I pick your brain? Nice saw, BTW! 
- Comment on arriving 1 month ago:I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is. 
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 1 month ago:This right here. I’ve recently been seeing a lot more of what I’ve heard called Blue Anon. I am seeing it get argued against. Shit could get real ugly if it takes hold. I’m having to repeatedly remind my family to check sources, think critically, and not jump to conclusions. It’s imperative we remain skeptical and analytical. 
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 month ago:I’ve always heard: Respect is given, not earned. Trust is earned and easy to lose. Don’t confuse politeness with respect. 
- Comment on Like a heart 1 month ago:Alcove in blue. It didn’t extend into her intestines or anything, it was just a small pocket in the back wall. 
- Comment on Like a heart 1 month ago:It was in the back wall of the vagina, a little bit before her cervix. 
- Comment on Like a heart 1 month ago:I actually dated a girl who had a chambered pussy. She was born with mild spina bifida, and there was a scar on her tailbone. Anyhow, she loved doggy style. I’d get going good and then pop the head of my dick into the alcove, she’d cum her brains out. Fun times. 
- Comment on Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification 1 month ago:His ideas are fantastic. Execution and characterization are spotty. Been a while since I read anything of his, but IIRC, he has a tendency to dip into surrealism or absurdity that feels cringey instead of his artistic target. In some ways, it’s similar to a lot of Golden Era SF. You read it for the ideas, not the story. I do have a favorable opinion of him and his work. I’d really enjoy Doctorow being paired with a traditional fiction author and both being rode herd by a hardass SF editor. 
- Comment on 9,000 years ago.  Wonder if even way back then it was referred to as doggy 1 month ago:The Posterior Fornix can be stimulated during doggy style. (Anterior Fornix in missionary.) They are similar to the g-spot, with some people preferring fornix orgasm to g-spot or clitoral stimulation. You aim above the cervix with the tip of your dick or fingers and stretch that area. This depends on the anatomy of both partners. It’s also a skill that needs to be trained. However, if you can make it work, and the recipient is sensitive to it: fireworks! Like, grunting, moaning, and prayers from a bad porno level of good.

- Comment on bmw 2 months ago:Dated a girl with a BMW and the turn signal was real fucky. Didn’t click right, had no feel. You had to look at the dash to even see if it was on. German engineering can suck my fucking balls. 
- Comment on bmw 2 months ago:Oh, you’re that very special person. Just watching people pass you on the right like a moderately stoned bovine. 
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 2 months ago:And gave them LSD! Funded by NASA. 
- Comment on Now I finally get it 2 months ago:You’re trying to chew on the wrong people. No one here is defending anything. Context is being provided. Organized religion is mostly a poison, especially the fundamentalist version. Also, I get the rage. That shit ate my family. That being said, I think it’s important to be as accurate as possible in our criticism. Lot’s daughters were offered for gang rape as his visitors were male aspect angels. Warped perspective given modern views. It’s about the duty to visitors and the evil of Sodom. I don’t know the historicity of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the story is almost certainly mostly fictional. What’s really fucked up is trying to apply Bronze Age morality to the current age and cramming it down children’s throats. You’re so angry about this shit, but, maybe you should make sure you’re directing that anger at appropriate targets. 
- Comment on Now I finally get it 2 months ago:You’re nine kinds of warped around the axle about this and being pretty nasty to someone who seems to be chill. Also, as an agnostic atheist raised in some ugly fundamentalism: you’re applying modern views that are out of context to the period. Women and children were basically property. A similar modern view would be towards livestock. 
- Comment on It's why the thrift store has so many of them 2 months ago:This is so delightfully evil. My girl and I laughed like chimpanzees.
