Right-wing politics basically requires one or more sub-cultutes to demonize. It’s hate and blame politics, pure and simple.
As long as the politicians have someone to wag a finger at and blame for all problems, it rallies their supporters. Nazis had the Jews, Republicans have everyone else that they declare different.
Here is the follow-up post on the joke, btw.
Wustite, ferrous oxide, is black. FeO.
Typical rust, usually found as hematite, is Fe2O3 and is red/brown. Also an iron oxide.
Magnetite is also another black iron oxide, Fe3O4.
There are quite a few other flavors of iron and oxygen too.
Dunno about “lost all meaning”. The shrapnel from all the butthurt is spraying quite a few instances right now. Lulz.
Just glad to see ml/memes is getting a taste of its own shit for once.
When? That shit is already happening.
Medications must be taken with a full glass of wine.
TIL the origin of “git” as the name for git. (I have never heard it used as an actual insult until this video.)
git - a foolish, contemptible, or unpleasant person, especially a man

A Chevy is still an American brand and the ecotec engines were also used in a variety of European cars.
Did you miss the first bit where it said 2011 Chevrolet?

Acktually, this is a decent last resort if you have an alkaline battery leak all over a PCB. Hot water is probably not a good idea as you run the risk of warping a board.
A tooth brush and an isopropyl bath is probably a better option unless you have a good ultrasonic cleaner.
An isopropyl bath after a water bath is also good as to remove all the water from places you can’t dry easily. (Evaporation of the IPA is hella better than using a hair dryer because again, warping.)

You want me to do what now?

Unfortunately, AI has the creativity of a turnip.
“Political headwinds” is putting it mildly.
What a coincidence! She is my girlfriend too.

It would require as much, or more, power to drown out a TV broadcast signal at the source. I believe many of the old towers were 200kW-1000kW so it would have taken one hell of a pirate signal if interfering close to the main source. However, RF follows the same principle as light using the inverse square law so the further you get from the primary transmitter, the signal quickly becomes exponentially weaker for any receiver.
If you had a TV transmitter on a small hill that is a fair distance away from the target audience, like many were, splitting the distance with a directional antenna wouldn’t require nearly as much power from the pirate signal to overtake the original transmission.
If I wanted, I could interfere with ham radio signals with as little as a watt of power (in my immediate local area) even though people might be communicating through a ham radio repeater that transmits at a couple of thousand watts that is many miles away. (It’s actually a permitted emergency technique to “break into” active conversations. Actually, other ham radio operators are familiar with what interference sounds like, even for signals that can’t fully overtake a transmission. It’s customary to stop the conversation if detected and wait for the “break”.)
