Ah! At last I've found Joke thread III. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How about a new rule: no off topic comments can be posted unless accompanied by a joke. That should quarter the number of off topic comments and double the number of jokes. But since this is off topic and doesn't include a joke this doesn't exist, it's just a figment of your collective imaginations.

Yeah man! Oops! Sorry. Unnecessary post. 😯🥴😂😂🤣🤣

I guess that will change soon, supply and demand and all that. Yes in my final job the most recent proper engineer designed using FPGAs in situations where I would have used microcontrollers alongside all the analogue stuff. 47 years of design (35 analogue and discrete digital +12 years with...

Oh well. The Joke Thread is dead. Long live the Joke Thread. Whereabouts is Joke Thread III? 😂

I'm not sure if you're complimenting me or not, as an S3 owning 70 something. Glad I'm down south otherwise I'd be a drug dealing boy racer. 😇😂🤣

Yes! Oh YES! A non PC joke thread. We're all far too pc and woke these days. No fun in that. 😇

I didn't realise there are so many of us electronic engineers, current or retired, on here woodworking. I remember many years ago buying a second hand mk1 VW scirroco. It needed a bit of work (only way I could afford it) e.g. a decoke and top end overhaul. While I was test driving it and saying...

Are you saying your wife looked like a nail after she accosted you? Is she still with us? Is your real name Maxwell and your hammer is a silver one? 😂

Is this bones age or brain (I.e acting) age because if it's the latter there will be very few left! 🤣🤣🤣

Old enough to remember the band! And young enough still to be cheeky 😇🤣🤣🤣

Yeap mine too. What is that thing he's holding? Some sort of portable beer dispenser? I know just how much musicians love their beer. 🙃

I remember at school and college having slide rules for all my calculations back in the early 60s. My mother, grhs, was a comptometer operator and worked for many a year at a quantity surveyor in Braintree in Essex. I remember seeing the comptometer occasionally when she brought work home. It's...

PS Maybe we should have a 3D printed objects thread so we can share items of general use.

Several years ago I received a substantial refund from HMRC. What should I use it for? A Robox 3D printer. I started using SketchUp but objected when they wanted money for it as I didn't think it worth it. Migrated to DesignSpark Mechanical and have used it ever since. Glad to see someone...

I have repaired a couple of lathe speed controllers and was a little surprised when I investigated the first to find it was a 240V DC motor. So I agree with the sentiment that if you don't know what you are doing you may make it an awful lot worse. And worse it can be downright dangerous to...

Being the complete cheapskate I often find old tables etc on feeble/ trash nothing websites where people are only too pleased for you to take it away to be recycled. It's often a source of well seasoned wood. I also have a wood recycling business close by in Sussex. The wood is inexpensive but...

And! And?????????????

Since you're in Ceredigion I thought you already had. 🤣🤣🤣 (Hope that doesn't cause offence) Martin
