But it’s not clear just how aggressive Flake is willing to be. On Thursday, he withdrew his opposition to a judicial nominee for the Eighth Circuit, a move he said was to balance out the absence of Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who was called away for family reasons, according to the Washington Post. Senators sometimes do this, as Sen. Lisa Murkowski famously did during Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation when she withdrew her vote and was marked as “present.”

For example, putting 1 mA through a 1 MOhm resistor requires 1000 Volts. The current itself is barely noticeable and if it’s high frequency current you’re unlikely to feel pain – it’s just a funny spark that kinda tickles at your fingertip – but it’s still depositing 1 Watts of power into the resistance.

Yeah, dont use these. Use a relay instead. There is a reason all the high end stuff went away from the Triacs as they will float to full mains voltage when no load is connected and you get electrocuted when you mess with the circuit. AMX, Crestron, Lutron, etc all have moved away from pure Triac control due to this safety issue.

Since the translucent mirror only reflects enough light to provide for the autofocus sensor, not an optical viewfinder as most pellicle designs permit, Sony has adopted full-time live view in the Alpha A33 and A55. In place of the optical viewfinder from a traditional SLR, the SLT cameras have an electronic viewfinder with 1,152,000 dot resolution. The EVF LCD is time-multiplexed — that is to say, it shows each color in sequence at every pixel location, rather than the separate, adjacent color dots of most electronic viewfinders. This makes it harder to distinguish individual pixels. The Sony SLT-series cameras also sport a wide-aspect 3-inch LCD with 921,600-dot resolution. Taking full advantage of the camera’s full-time live view shooting, the super-slim LCD tilts 180 degrees vertically, and swivels 270 degrees for easy viewing from most any angle. The cameras also include TruBlack technology borrowed from Sony’s picture frames.

Agreed. I don’t see us revisiting the war of the currents. Interties between independent grids make sense, but there’s a reason that AC won, and I don’t think time and advancing technology has significantly changed that.

Lenovo’s previous ARM-powered device was a 2-in-1 detachable tablet / laptop hybrid, but the new Yoga C630 is more like a traditional laptop that also flips over to become a tablet in the traditional Yoga style. Because it’s more of a clamshell-like laptop, you also get a polished aluminum design, and the build quality you’d expect from a laptop. Lenovo is equipping the Yoga C630 with a 13.3-inch FHD IPS touchscreen that also supports an optional stylus. There’s 4GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. Ports include two USB-C and a headphone jack.

The issue with using NEMA 5-15 receptacles is that people will use them stupidly. They will attach extension cords without knowing to properly check them for heat build up at the outlet and along their length. It just encourages bad use, modern EVSEs with heat sensors in the plug won’t work appropriately with an extension cord.

I can’t speak for the Model 3 since I don’t know anyone who owns one yet, and Tesla has removed charging rates at 110 volts from their distance calculator.

My busy season is when people are spending their tax returns and spring-cleaning, but I’m slower in the winter months leading up to that. Call me then, and I might be able to offer you a lower rate if I’m desperate for business.
