I guess they are in Thailand now? Based on the videos.

They also have some from Chernobyl but I think those were filmed earlier, not sure though. I imagine they wouldn't be free to travel what with the war and all.

ElectroBOOM is a treasure and definitely belongs in this thread. I’m always amazed that he doesn’t catch a piece of exploding capacitor in the eye or something. Knock on wood because the dude is awesome.

Having had capacitors explode while playing with electronics, they are loud and the shell/case flies off pretty fast. When working with low voltages like I was it takes a while too. Nice time delayed boom

What exploded? Did you manage you pop an electrolytic cap despite the score marks meant to vent them with less drama?

The electrolytic capacitor built up pressure inside and the case gave way with a boom... I think it was a smaller cap that didn't have the score marks on top... or it did have them and pressure built up slowly enough that they didn't break.

Here's a picture of a board on what I'm currently working on. Notice that not all of the caps have scoring on the top

Cap should be located at orange instead of... Everywhere. Plugged in at 240v while set for 120v. Luckily the cap caught the worst of it.

They are now in charge of Ukraine's electronic warfare arm, jamming Russian radars and disrupting their radios. At least I hope so.

Pretty good article relevant to the current discussion. The URL sums it up: https://bloodknife.com/everyone-beautiful-no-one-horny/

Article was pretty humorous, especially the part where the author explains that the youth aren't horny and finds 10 ways to blame Boomers for it:

quote:

Even before the pandemic hit, Millennials and Zoomers were less sexually active than the generation before them. Maybe we’re too anxious about the Apocalypse; maybe we’re too broke to go out; maybe having to live with roommates or our parents makes it a little awkward to bring a partner home; maybe there are chemicals in the environment screwing up our hormones; maybe we don’t know how to navigate human sexuality outside of rape culture; maybe being raised on the message that our bodies are a nation-ending menace has dampened our enthusiasm for physical pleasure.

That, plus a housing market that has a lot of people live with their parents longer than before, plus a lot of stress and pressure, plus growing up with every spare time activity being organised and structured?

Societal changes rarely have exactly one simple explanation.

millennials and zoomers aren't loving as much as boomers because

1) we live in constant existential stress from every direction
2) we saw the hateful marriages and stds the boomers got stuck with by being careless
3) a lot of the loving that boomers did was just plain old rape
