Who is the number 1 buyer of glitter? I recently listened to a guilty pleasure podcast (Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know Podcast ) that discussed this and it seems like something fun to speculate on. DoD? NASA? DARPA? One of the other acronym agencies in the US?

Is there a reason NASA has used that specific orange color for the liquid fuel shuttle tank and now SLS? (Is it paint or is that the color of the specific metal used?) Everyday Astronaut any idea?

The Orion Spacecraft spacecraft captured this image of the Moon during its sixth day of flight, as it approached its first outbound powered flyby of the #Artemis I mission and its closest lunar approach. go.nasa.gov/3Eqcvy7

Any experienced RF/HDI PCB designers want to be my friend and teach me things? Thx

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in years. Didn’t even think about it’s use in marketing, but it’s ability to write code, solve mathematical problems, answer questions…. it’s like asking Jeeves but he is an all knowing AI chat bot.

What is this, a crossover episode??

I really miss the Red Robin location that used to be close to my house in Bloomington, MN. From what I’ve read, they have the cleanest kitchens and are great about accommodating food allergies, modifying menu items, etc. where “fancy” restaurants won’t alter any dish.

I typically use plated holes for #PCB standoffs, but rarely (if ever) tie them to GND. However, does anyone know why Raspberry Pi boards use (what looks like) the soldermask AND copper pulled back from the holes on their standoffs?

Ahhh so this is where post-production audio engineers get their “pew pew” gun sounds! 🔫

These last two weeks have been wild, what is going on with all these UFOs??? My best guess is that they are variants of the first Chinese spy balloon, and the news about China shooting one down was likely a PR stunt to say “see look, it’s not us! We are dealing with them too!”

Every time I try to use harnesses in Altium , I end up with warnings while compiling schematics that ever signal in a harness has duplicate net names. Any #pcb #engineers have experience with this issue?

Could #ChatGPT find a unified theory connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics?

A ton of historic firsts last week. Our Relativity Space team proved more in this first launch than most companies (and even countries) ever have in their maiden attempt: ✅ first methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is

Yes!!! I have a good feeling about this launch. It will either be successful, or the most Kerbal-like launch attempt in history 😂. I’d say that’s a win win, assuming no scrub. I don’t want no scrub.

“ChatGPT is incredibly powerful, but most people don’t know how to use it”, say most people on Twitter for the last month.

Someone needs to make a YouTube channel doing this. Getting drunk and roasting bad PCB designs 😂, while also explaining the underlying concepts of why it won’t work or is just a bad design choice. Ideally both schematics and layouts. #pcbdesign

Installed latest version of EA SPORTS MLB The Show 24 and while playing a game against the SF Giants, the CPU put in a RP, and all of a sudden the commentators were using she/her pronouns for him. Other bugs with the commentators making unrelated comments, anyone else? #PS4
