to visit family

People will go through a lot to be with family, it doesn't really matter how dangerous crossing the border is if that's the only way you'll see them again.

Yeah, it's more about the people in the car taking their foot off the gas so they don't get going fast enough to crash through multiple houses and burn the whole neighborhood down. Still worth doing even if we're well past the point of hitting the brakes preventing any damage.

It's not too late to make things worse by giving up! /s

Works 97% of the time, every time!

USB-C is only like 10 years old, and widespread availability has been within maybe the last 5 years. I think it's fine they waited, enforcing a brand new and unproven technology would have been a bad idea.

For really sensitive applications like voltage references, they actually build a little enclosure around the part with a built in heater to keep it at a constant calibrated temperature. The boards also often have cutouts to reduce thermal transfer and things like the board flexing causing stress to the part.

The resistor itself won't really drift at a constant temperature, especially in a sealed environment where condensation, corrosion, and dust aren't a factor.

The actual method for calibrating exact resistor values involves starting with a lower resistance and etching away parts of it with a laser to get to the exact value you want. You probably still couldn't get as many decimal places as OP tho

Yeah, I've got Wifi 7 set up and it's awesome. I've got a single access point, and I get full gigabit in my office with line of sight, and it auto switches to 5GHz or 2.4GHz when I move too far away. It's also great for apartments since it's more easily blocked by walls, there's way less interference from neighbors.

This is a discussion about liberals in the US, not the liberal party of Canada, which is decidedly left of US politics as a whole.

Depending on the type of bankruptcy, the business can still operate, all their profits would just be going towards paying off their depts.

C could still bankrupt the company depending on how trial goes. They pirated a lot of books.

I've adopted this same strategy. I've bought maybe 2 games in the last couple years. I haven't been hyped for a Steam sale in over 5 years

 

I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.
