In other news.

Act one: Bought 5 stepper motor drivers, installed 4 of them, testing, droped a screwdriver, it makes 12V go into 3V bus, 4 drivers dead.

Act two: Bought 3 new drivers, and one more on a seller's advice after explaining the odd number. Installed one, about to try it out, catch a loose wire when moving a hand, 12V into 3V bus, driver dead.

Act three: Added and tested an overvoltage protection on the 3V bus, proceeded.

Screw up once - it's an accident, screw up twice - it's a coincidence, never screw up thrice unless you're an idiot.

In NationStates:

*reduces murder from 15% to 6%*
Cancer deaths go from 0% to 28%...

My nation went from lush forests to toxic wasteland in one day... and of course the economy didn't even change!

I took a way narrow turn in NationStates. Let's see how it goes ...
"Let's reduce tax costs", and "We need to replace power station with solar ones" ... Hmmm

Maybe if you let the murder rate go back up, things will balance out

Reminds me of high school maths. Trying to reduce Type I and II errors to the point where they are combined as small as possible.
Although I can't remember how it was done.:uhh:

I think it got slashdotted, because the website is now down.

Now it appears to be online!

Its kinda fun, I'll remember to play it whenever the coffee maker is out of action. I think 95C is a record on this computer.

I always think whoever monitors activities on the internet must have the most boring job in the world.
Yes, even professor for art history in the most unknown university of the world must be more interesting.

"IFLS" has been disappointing for the last month or two. There was even a post the other day for an event years prior.
And now they commit the worst scientific offense with a "Super Moon" post...
/rant

Edit: I should give them the fact that they seem a bit trollish lately. If you click the links, you get the real info. But of course, that's not how Facebook works...no one reads beyond the headline.

Hell, I take it all back. For this post at least. It's effective. The scientifically ignorant are deeply intrigued by the big moon in the picture, click the pretty blue link, and are subsequently educated.

XBOX One is supposed to be just the same, so no debate necessary, but this is still hilarious.
