Yeah no SH!
I made the same question to the my2cents security fuse guys. Why do you make it burn every time (and buy a new one every time) and not using a poly switch.
The answer was the fuse is too big and we are working on it....
The new guys used a poly switch and they even made a revB, like it was hard to install 1 component on a board.
I simply cannot handle the stupidity of all this. It's probably all those vape guys/companies have nothing to do with electronics.


Anyway i asked a doctor in harvard medical school. Let's see :D

btw 8 hours of battery testing gone to garbage, i made a mistake on the last routine and i have to restart it. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm so sorry Kon! That must be horribly disappointing. Can you find a redeeming feature? Like chalk it up to experience? When something like that happens to me, I try to find some good in it somehow. I try to at least learn from my mistakes. That's not always easy, but I try.

Sitting down, facing forward.
I stopped venting my anger on my tools when I threw a brand new framing hammer down and snapped the head off of it, the fiberglass handle couldn't cope with the concrete very well. Now, I just sit down and vape, and maybe have a cup of coffee and distract myself with a movie or something.

I'm back and lunch with Hubby was fun! My meal wasn't very good. It was shrimp in lobster sauce but it had a bunch of scrambled eggs in it and tasted greasy. Their food is overall delicious so all I know is I'll never eat something from there again with lobster sauce on it. The good news is I bought a godzilla roll to eat while waiting for Hubby so I got full anyway.

Hubby hauled all the heavy stuff in for me before he left for his doctor appointment. Yay! All I need to do is hang out, feed the critters and have a cup of coffee for the next couple of hours. Woot!! Another bonus is I was tired of buying conservatively so I bought the 4# packe of bacon and frozen uncooked shrimp. Sure, there goes $25 but I'll get two great dinners out of the shrimp and a bunch of nice meals out of the bacon like green beans with bacon and venison or antelope wrapped in bacon on the grill or bacon cheeseburgers. I feel spoiled rotten:)

I go out and beat up my brother, Oh wait - I'm an only child :facepalm:

When I get upset I go down to the club and throw dollar bills at the strippers, it's safer than beating on people...

Hi rabbit, i have no idea, they sure got no better and on top of that i fainted today at the warehouse.
I noticed a while a go when i put pressure on myself, lifting something heavy etc my head blacks out and i faint for half-one second.
Today it was worse, have no idea maybe blood pressure, lack of vitamins or who knows maybe i'f i'm lucky, cancer.

Hey Kon, don't know if you remember me, I was lurking and posting on smokeless image almost since they began. I even bought your nic kit.
So, if you can take this as coming from a friend, I sure would appreciate it.

The world and the economy are changing so fast that it's hard to keep up.

I have been diagnosed with stress and depression due to my financial losses. You may be going through the same thing after reading your cancer comment. I know you don't mean it, but just thinking it says there's a problem. I believe you know how to get help but you are resisting it. Don't, you can't do it alone. I waited too long to admit it and it's cost me everything, including my marriage.

If you feel I'm out of line here, please tell me. Good luck bro. :) :2c:

That is so kind of you to reach out to talk to Kon. Good point about depression from financial/job loss woes.

2tone - I am sorry to hear of all you have gone through. Life gets rough sometimes. Now that I am older, I realize that life has its ups and downs but I try not to stay in the down zone too long.

Amazing share a Coke video by some engineering students - must see !

The Most Outrageous Way to Share a Coke - YouTube

I liked it. I think it's art to make something like that. I'd go see it if it was nearby. I've always been fascinated by those kids' toys where a ball rolls down a complicated route. I don't know if I was so fascinated as a kid, but I am now in my 2nd childhood. I thought the video was very professionally made, too.
