My friend had access to a CnC table and spare time/metal. This is the result. I want one.

Yeah, it's pretty good when you get your first front page article. No idea why some things do better than others. Sometimes it just happens ...

Isn't the dd/mm/yyyy format logically a better way to represent dates than the mm/dd/yyyy format?

PT2 3 points4 points 12 hours ago[-]

I personally always use:

1/JAN/2010 to avoid any possible ambiguity.

I hate the mm/dd format. It drives me nuts! Especially when I don't know that someone is using it to, say, represent the 5th of August and it's really the 8th of May ... wankers

Upvotes always make everything OK.

How come you've only got 560 link karma when your posting got 935? I thought the limit was around 1000?

CNC

It's not like Command and Conquer, it's Computer Numerical Control.

Quite possibly the finest example of trolling I have ever seen.

PT2 5 points6 points 16 hours ago[-]

I enjoyed that. A lot.

I don't care if it was staged because it was well acted either way.

Can we please make this guy the happiest person ever for a day?

I'll put in $10 for a hooker or three.

You hear about it, read about it on the internet, but when you see it in real life, you're just like wow...

I felt the spirit move through me.

My favourite is:

"Santa Maria Puta Diabolo!"

Which I actually heard annunciated by a Latino.

Being mormon, I can't look at porn or nudity. So I have to get creative.

When your chair makes a farting noise, do you move around to repeat the noise to make sure everyone knows it was the chair?

I just lean over more and fan the air near my arse.

Why reinvent the wheel? Freescale will send you 5 free samples of their accelerometers, and you can order several different types for free. i.e. 5 of each type.

A better alternative is to buy a cheap chinese hot air gun with which you can do most reflow-style technique.

Anyone serious about soldering electronics gets a $100+ soldering iron anyway, so this is a worthwhile investment.

What do you mean "signed up for everything". How much stuff did you order? I just tried to sample 5 parts and they didn't charge me.

Yeah, make the pcb pads about 2mm longer out the sides to allow the heat from the soldering iron to get to the pads ... but I supposed you just learned this the hard way.

Use a hot air gun and some liquid flux.

How badly do you want a free accelerometer?

I've signed on to all the major semiconductor companies for free samples, and have been for at least 6 years on my work email address. I've not noticed any particular SPAM which originated from them.

Anyway, semiconductor spam isn't that bad: "HELLO MY FREIND!!! WOULD YOU LEIK TO BY AN OP-AMP IT WILL MAKE UR PEN15 HUGE!!!"

Reddit, I just bought tickets for my wife and I to go to San Francisco, what are the non obvious things to see there?

PT2 2 points3 points 1 day ago[-]

You can get into San Francisco for free, you don't need tickets!

Watch out for the wallet inspector.
