Latish reply, but how do you make yours? Do you do the ‘restaurant’ steps of using water & freezing to get the starch out?
Me, I just slice up baking potatoes and pop them in my air fryer for a while, turning and re-basting with oil a few times. Not restaurant grade, but good enough.
On the flip side, a close friend of mine pursued his dream right out of high school with the support of friends and family. He’s now 30 with no work experience, no education, and no money, still trying to make his dream work. I’m very worried for what his senior years are going to look like.
TBF, I have a 3-tier retirement plan (pension, 401k, SS) and I'm still worried for solvency in my senior years. I expect 2/3 of those to be unfunded and raided in the next 30 years.
Even with all that, as a millennial I'm expecting to die at work.
On a KISS basis - I tend to just use a bimetallic switch or omit the temperature control and just run the fan from power up. It’s possible for a processor to suffer some non-handled exception where it no longer executes the temperature management routine.
Communities usually named 195 or 196 have a rule that if you go there you have to post something. So people will post something and title it “Rule.” And it leads to a bunch of low effort crap posts.
Just block any 195 and 196 communites to save your feed from getting overwhelmed with bad posts.
Even though, I am no fun of low effort content, there is so few active community that it’s a bit refreshing to see content, even low effort, also they spread to much over Lemmy, that looks like it’ll contaminate lemmy’s culture which is great to become something else than redditfugees
Doing some quick math, the transistor will have a base current of 5 milliamps, which a Pi should be able to supply. At a fairly typical beta of 100, the transistor could drive the fan at up to .5 amps, which is plenty for a small fan. A MOSFET transistor is generally better suited for switching high current loads, but for this a BJT (as drawn) should be fine.
The point of the diode is to prevent reverse current that gets induced when a (brushed) motor is turned off. It essentially turns into a small generator while spinning down, and the diode essentially short circuits that. It prevents damage to the rest of the circuit. If that motor is brushless (with an integrated control board), you likely won’t need it but it doesn’t do any harm either.
My subscription feed isn’t big enough yet for me to just scroll through that so I’ve been dipping in and out of… I was about to say /r/all but whatever the Lemmy word for that is, and there seems to be a new dumb community flooding my feed every day - yesterday it was 196, today it was weirdgirlmemes. I just block them and carry on
I completely agree, but I would ascribe a lot of it to teething of an early platform. Narwhals and bacon once dominated that other site in the early days lol
I like it too. Back in Reddit I never saw/heard about that community. I have grown fond of their humor here on Kbin. It gets at least a couple of laughs a day, and I've even laughed out loud on some occasions.
Every post on a chan-style imageboard has a number. If the last two digits are the same, it’s “dubs.”
Now imagine a million threads full of nothing but people trying to get dubs on their comment. Yeah, it’s really that stupid.
The creator of 4chan (moot) turned them off at some point (as in, it would skip any number with dubs, but not trips or above), but right before he sold 4chan he turned them back on.
