True. It's a Canadian thing.
I was hunting with my cousin and we were standing in some trees, still. An owl came down and landed on his head. He just stayed still and after about 15 seconds, the owl took off again.
I said nothing for a minute, and then asked him "Did that just happen?" He wasn't sure if I'd seen it and didn't quite believe it himself.
I remember seeing a woman take a puck in the face off a deflected Slapshot, before the netting was used. She might have ended up with a defensemans smile.
You were kind of expected to be able to take care of yourself if you had tickets behind the goal.
Yes. And I'm explaining for anyone thinking this picture represents some sort of reality of the enshittification of finished lumber that nominal is not finished and graded size and hasn't been since 1919.
The 2x4 (rough) has had a finished size of 1.5x3.5 for well over a century, there was a very brief time it was standardized at 1-5/8x 3-5/8 but that was a pain in the ass for carpenters and mills. You can still buy unplaned lumber that is the full 2x4 or 2x6 dimensions, but it's ungraded and not suitable for anything but fences. It will not pass a building inspection.
This picture isn't saying anything useful.

Try being in agriculture.
Hell, I have to clarify what type of bushel a line company is quoting prices for oats in.
Try to buy wire in mm2 and watch the guy at the electrical supply counter look at you like you have 3 heads.
That's not a shrinkflation thing, that's a nominal vs. finished size. A 2x4 has been 1.5x3.5 since planed lumber has been a thing, well over a century. You can still buy roughcut 2x6 that are really 2"x6".
Wasn't planning on dying on the slopes of Everest for everyone to look at as they passed by for the next 50 years.
That may have been the most depraved thing I've ever seen in politics. That should follow him everywhere as a mark of his utter lack of character and morals. I couldn't imagine how his wife stands being in the same house as him after that. What a slimeball.
If the voters don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I had an ECU for an air seeder blow up, so I'm rebuilding it from scratch using a Pi and other hardware. I got the shaft sensors reading fine, set up the relays and other switches and lights, but this one has stumped me. The markings give me nothing to go off of (Trison 91779847 Rev C gives me nothing useful), but I still have the borked board that I can trace out. The sensor is fed 12V and ground, and has a white wire that is marked for airspeed input on the wiring diagram of the ECU.
When I trace the white wire on this, it looks like it's conditioned by some diodes (two diodes, in opposite directions to ground) and a capacitor, with a pulldown resistor. The trace then goes to an opamp (TLC2272) inverted input via what looks like a voltage divider, and from there maybe feeds into the processor the board uses. Kind of hard to see from that point on.
I scoped it and if there's data there, it's in the 1-2mV range if I reference from ground, which makes the opamp make sense. But I don't have a very good scope where I am, I do have a Rigol at home that I could get.
I have built a very crude estimate of the airspeed just from the current draw of the hotwire using an ADC and shunt resistors, but I assume I can get a better reading from this sense wire if I can figure out how the hell it's working, via a reference circuit to help me understand. If you know this sensor or a similiar sensor that I can crib the circuit from, that would be awesome.

She called me because she couldn't get her car started after work. We had to get it towed out of the underground parking which is quite a pain in the ass apparently.
I spent a couple hours troubleshooting the issue (smoky exhaust, barely started, ran like shit) and I burned out the starter in the process and had to put a new one in. Starters in these little 3.7L engines are pretty pathetic.
At some point in all this she mentioned she had filled up before driving to work, so I figured out how to jumper the fuel pump and pumped out this piss-colored junk. Feels oily like diesel, doesn't burn explosively like you'd expect with straight gas.
Fresh fuel and some Seafoam snake oil to maybe clean injectors. Since I didn't drop the tank to clean it perfectly, she's going to put small amounts in for a few fills and burn it off completely between fills because the solution to pollution is dilution.
Her receipt showed she uses the gas pump, not the diesel, so I'm wondering how many people got to deal with this bullshit since I'm guessing the station got an entire compartment contaminated. Haven't bothered to talk to the company, since I did the work myself and they certainly aren't going to reimburse me for my time.
Ah well, it's an excuse to do a pile of other maintenance I'd planned anyway and had parts for.
Wife is happy she isn't buying a new car. Happy wife, happy life.
