Yes, I also have one of the microscopes with its own screen. Very handy tool and remarkably cheap.

I tried various things when I was still working on that tiny SMT stuff, best was just a pair of 4 dioptre reading glasses. The only problem was that I then couldn't read the PC screen with the schematic or PCB tracking on it, so I had to try and fix a pair of 2 strength reading glasses above...

I was talking to a person who disposed of corporate IT equipment a couple of decades back, and he reckoned they drilled holes in the disc drives and poured in Coke. Whether he was pulling my legs, or whether their customers had heard all the stories of teeth or 6" nails dissolving in Coke, I...

I think Jacob might be too old.

You see it in Honolulu too. If you're going to be homeless, you might as well be homeless where either the weather is clement, or the pickings are good. Personally, I haven't spent any time interviewing homeless people in Seattle, Honolulu or Portland, so I can't state with any certainty that...

I have visited Washington state almost every year for the last 24 years. The number of homeless people has certainly increased alarmingly. Mainly in Seattle, as far as I know. Likewise in Oregon the homelessness is concentrated in Portland. There seems to be a correlation between affluent cities...

Router. In my limited experience you'll never get a finish cut with a jigsaw. You can cut near the line with a jigsaw, but a bug powerful router is needed for the final cut.

My post wasn't really aimed at you, but what are these dozens of pronouns? Apart from the standard he, she, her, him, they, them, it, which have been is use certainly for the seven decades I've been alive, what are the new ones?

I think sometimes the people listing these things don't change dimensions after listing other items.

While I sympathise with you and the position you found yourself in, as a result of anti age discrimination legislation, I sincerely doubt that it was enacted in order to cause the sort of distress you describe. I would blame the bureaucrats who administered it and the, by the sound of it...

I wouldn't take any notice of Spectric. I'm fairly sure he's part of some sort of reverse Turing Test experiment.

I agree, but I chose my words carefully.

He's no more of a patriot than most Americans. He just makes more noise about it.

"They' has been a gender neutral pronoun since before political correctness gone mad was a thing. If someone says to.me that they'd like to be called "they/them", I say OK, I'll try to remember that, please forgive me if I forget. How does that hurt me? It doesn't. People should just be thankful...

If there really was god, do you suppose he would save Trump's life when a sniper tried to take him out, but allow an innocent bystander to be killed? I know, I know, god moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform...

There is no god, whatever Trump says.

Check out the thread I mentioned. I'm no expert, but there was some info posted by those who know better.

I was tempted too, and now I have a diamond wheel that's apparently not a lot of use to me. I'm going to stick it in a drawer and wait for 27 years. Then I can give it to my wife.
