  • Not so much a hero but I admired his work the projects he is associated with: Elon regarding Tesla & Space X.

    I had heard that he was a bit of a nightmare to work with but I just chalked that up to the usual tech CEO being a bit of an arsehole but still delivering the vision. So admired the projects but wouldn’t personally work for him.

    The first time I came across something that gave me the impression something was off with him was when he called one of the Thai cave divers a pedo after the diver rejected using an unproven single person extraction canister Elon proposed.

    It was just so uncalled for. Then the more I read and saw stories about him my opinion of him wained further down to a spoilt nepo-baby cosplaying as a design engineer who’d do best to get out of the way of the actual engineers trying to do the work.

    Now I think the world would be better off without him and I hope the talented engineers currently work for him leave to find fulfilling employment elsewhere in the space and electrification industries as soon as possible.


  • It’s also useful to think of the “ground” plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what’s happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I’ve found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.

    I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don’t know until we test it;

    Someone give me an asylum makerspace to takeover!

    Please, instead of more satirising toxic masculinity, can we have some more depictions of positive masculinity in lead roles like Aragorn from LotR?

    Also, please feel free to list some good examples of positive masculinity in replies below because I and others I know could benefit from seeing more of that.




  • I love the uber dry tone and the delivery is just so matter-of-fact that it makes me chuckle.

    Now if only I could read German beyond the usual “Hallo”, “Tschüss”, and “Schieße” which are all very important to understand but somewhat limiting in written words to greeting, wishing farewell, and exclaiming.


  • I’m sick of trying to educate people to see the bleeding obvious robbery of our lives when they’d rather blame their neighbours just because they have a different skin tone and it’s less effort mentally than trying to understand the situation with all the neuances. I’m sick of fighting and struggling for a better life for them as well because they don’t even want it. What’s the point of putting in the effort when these ignorant fools don’t even help and actively work against their own interests?

    I’m mentally and physically exhausted, and I just want to sleep forevermore.









  • Some days I interact with some people that make me bemoan all of the safety guides that have allowed the idiots to breed enough that I now have the misfortune to interact with them.

    Then there are other days where a safety rule/guide/regulation has stopped me from doing something monumentally stupid and fatal that reminds me that those safety regulations are written in blood and that sometimes I’ll be that idiot in someone else’s mind. It’s humbling and comforting in an absurdist way.
