Prisoners’ Dilemma

Was Luther a Gnostic and just didn’t know it?
Who packaged Locke’s critical message and sold it?
Who has freedom or its choices
when money talks louder than living voices?
Mad advertisers entrain brains for bonuses.
Better repent than be destined to loneliness.
“Profit is our best road to atonement.”
So we build this fictional prison to own it.




Researchers studying gifts for cancer patients found a massive disconnect: People are buying fuzzy socks and coloring books while patients actually want practical gifts like meals, laundry help and grocery delivery.

I'm a bit rusty on my electronics, but my assumption would be that despite both not being connected ground wise. They are via the ACs earth.

And potentially just enough resistance provided by the scope to "complete" the circuit?

Yeah, my guess too, internal earth. Modern scopes are sometimes to clever for their own (or the operators...) good! I may need to Read The Fine Manual better ;)

I can't fully remember but I think the resistance is sometimes dependent on the probe. So with that one being a basic pass through just not a high enough one.

The earthing is rather common on them.

@Ryanteck

Even old scopes connect their ground to PE (I once melted insulation on a breadboard jumper by connecting scope ground to +5V from a lab PSU that also grounds negative side of its output.)



Am Wochenende wurde Deutschlands #Strombedarf 2025 erstmals komplett durch #ErneuerbareEnergien gedeckt.

#Windkraft und #Photovoltaik lieferten zeitweise über 100 Prozent. Doch oft müssen Anlagen abgeschaltet werden, weil #Übertragungskapazitäten fehlen.

Um das Potenzial auszuschöpfen, braucht es mehr #Leitungsinfrastruktur, #Batteriespeicher und investitionsbereite Unternehmen.

We've just tagged the first release candidate of Ardour 9.0. This is intended for people who want to help us with testing. There will likely be more release candidates.

Zusammen mit @ADFC_Hamburg und @mobilitaet waren wir heute am Rathaus, um die Petition zur #MobilitaetsWende an u.a. Verkehrssenator Anjes Tjarks zu überreichen. Und auf dem Weg dorthin erinnerten wir mit einer farbenfrohen Fahrrad-Demo daran, dass heute der 10. Jahrestag des Pariser Klima-Abkommens ist.

Sometimes you read about old technology, get to the end of the sentence, and have to read it again because it sounds so completely ludicrous you can't quite believe it actually worked.

Anyway Eidophor projectors are what they used for Apollo Mission Control.
