As a man who believes that kindness should be paid forward, I feel that my old oscilloscope, this FNIRSI model that cost about $200, should go to someone more disadvantaged than I am.

It's fine for any single signal under about 25-30MHz. Stick to under 10MHz if you're using both channels. It has two channels and a function generator output that does various waveforms. It's the absolute bare minimum of functionality that you could call a digital storage oscilloscope and not be lying. It comes with two probes, and will take any USB port for power.

It's not a fake scope or anything, it's just the extreme low-end of DSO functionality. If you want to play with 80s computers, it's fine for that. For the stuff I did when I bought it, it works fine, but as my abilities and projects expand, it no longer meets my needs is all.

And for you, provided you're in need of it, it's free. I'll even pay the shipping. Just promise to learn to use it properly, and not rely exclusively on the auto-configuration.

I would prefer that this go to someone known to me, but if nobody who fits that description needs it, I'll find someone.

Last time he had the home court advantage. He controlled the military, the national guard, and the Capital Police. This time he doesn't have that.
Instead they're lining up "poll watchers" to try to intimidate people into not voting, and he's recruited elections officials from the district/county level up to Secretaries of State, to screw with the vote counts. He's trying to sneak in, this time.

Open question: Do you think Trump's next bloody-coup will be successful? The first bloody-coup was quite a good effort, but didn't yield the desired result, I wonder if Trump has learned anything from the experience, and will stage a better, more effective bloody-coup going forward.

I saw it, I didn't think it was hostile. It was definitely "don't try to feed me a line of bullshit" - something I think he's needed for a long time. But hostile? No.
Now if she'd asked something like "Why are you such a racist sack of shit?
That would have been hostile.

What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.

To be fair, Russia used to have more friends, but a lot of them fell out of open windows, fell down stairs, or got mugged while out walking near the Kremlin.
Windows, stairwells and Kremlin walks are apparently the leading cause of death in Putin's Russia.

Fuck unity by the way, if we win I'm flying a "Trump Lost LOL" flag and telling my neighbors to lick taints.

They still practice a more traditional form of wrestling in Turkey. It's totally straight.
Really, I swear, it is. Ask them, they'll tell you.

Friendly reminder that when an old white dude calls a black person β€œnasty” or β€œrude”, what they’re really saying is

β€œyou’d better learn your place and show me some respect”

It’s a dog whistle. Don’t let that shit go unchallenged.

"I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black," he said at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago on Wednesday.

His head just keeps getting bigger, while his face stays the same size.
I wonder if he's been checked for hydrocephalus?

I guess I never did an intro..
