I LOVED 1984. that one really shook me and I had to read it again as soon as I finished it. Friday by Heinlein, was another that I devoured and introduced me to open thinking. Slaughterhouse five was another one that made me Adore Vonnegut, until I found out he was a turd-head. He can write, but he is a waste of a human being.
After that I devoured everything From Heinlein, and went on a Sci-Fi Bender that is still raging to this day. one of my favorite 3 book series by Alan Dean Foster.... Icerigger, Mission to Moulikin, and the Deluge divers.
Only those that have a very low IQ and can not read above a 14th grade level enjoy it. It's young adult fiction with a protagonist rape fetish.
And yes, the rest of you in the world are correct, It is utter tripe written by a 5th rate author that only got published because of her connections and money.
Have you actually read it? I find that most people that "rejoice it" have not. It's full of rape scenes.. In fact all of her books are focused on rape fantasy... Very very odd.
How to win friends and influence people. Flat out 900X better and more important than ANY other book out there, and should be required reading for most people yearly.
Sorry, but companies and patent holder can completely and utterly bite me. I can make for my own use copies of your precious precious ideas and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
Ebay and amazon.com. Sorry buy people that run these "shops" are never experts, and never truely honest. From what I see most of their gear is the cheap china crap. I also highly doubt that they have enough knowledge to make anything custom.
Good ones? yes they are costly. But there are a ton of garbage quality spy cameras on ebay and amazon.com at prices under $500.00 the good ones that actually look right and will record decently enough to get evidence that is admissible in court cost over $500. which is dirt cheap considering what it cost just 10 years ago.
I had an older minivan that the rear wiper failed, so I re aimed the squirter to shoot straight back and drilled it out so it was a stream. That one works awesome for tailgaiters. Help them clean their windshield! Only had one redneck try to have words with me by pulling along side and laying on his horn. At that time I worked security so I would hold my badge in it's wallet with id against the window, suddenly he stopped being a redneck and slowed down.
Vibration. high revving sportbikes will literally create a resonance in the bulb filament. I end up having to ride a few days with bright only aimed back down until I get a replacement.
It's the asshole with the bulbs. putting them in a crap car that does not have projector style headlamps that is designed to use 100+ watt bulbs. Reflector headlamps without a cutoff shutter, (2007-2012 civic has a properly designed reflector for example) simply blind the hell out of everyone. And 90% of all trucks have craptastic designed headlights to begin with, so those by default are bad, adding the bulbs makes it worse.
I have 100 watt Xenon's in my Pontiac Fiero, but I also made a plate to replace the sealed beam with quad Hella 90mm projector headlamps that have a drastic cutoff. I can see better than ever, but oncoming traffic sees my marker lights as brighter than my headlights.
And this is the problem most of the "assholes" buy $19.00 lenses off of ebay and $19.00 "purple HID like" bulbs. they then poorly install them in their rolling parts car truck, 1995 Civic or Kia junker that already has front end damage. and dont spent the 20 minutes aligning the lamps. They cant afford to even own their car let alone install the right parts, so you cant expect them to install them right.
I had one kid flip out when I told him my headlight upgrade was $550.00 total. "MY CAR WAS LESS THAN THAT"
The real stuff is expensive, you can not just stuff a bulb in and drive, yet these people do just that.
Look everyone, it's another Rand Conspiracy nutjob...
I miss the days when the nutballs were easily identified by the tinfoil skull caps and end is near signs.... No they had to find a horribly written book by a incredibly untalented author that was universally panned as horrible in her time and all time after that and start their new religion on that piece of Science fiction..
You guys know that is how Scientology started right?
Xenon is in QUALITY headlights. the blue and purple crap the posers put on their cars is not Xenon but actually low grade halogen bulbs with a color coating on them.
Then as an engineer you understand why it's super stupid to have it all run off of 1 processor.
Guidance and maneuvering is 1 processor/system. Science package another, imaging another, etc... When you cant get to it to press the reset button, you dont do the dumb mistakes done on consumer hardware like automotive industry does.
Example: GM and having 90% of the car run on the BCM, and Honda running the WHOLE car including engine off of the single ECM. My AC quit working because of a faulty sensor shorting out the IO port on the ECM. only fix is to replace the WHOLE ECM for the car at $2200.00
That kind of design is only done by really really dumb engineers.
NO MORE AUTOMATED TRADES. All trades must be executed by a human to another human. This will eliminate all of the massive fluctuations. Time to reign in the rampant greed.
Hot air rework station. IR rework station. at least TWO sets of decent hot tweezers. That is an absolute minimum. I got all of mine at Dayton Hamfest 2 years ago for next to nothing. Lastly install a bathroom vent fan above your electronics bench and pipe it outside. turn it ON when you are soldering / desoldering.
As for workspace. you need 2 of them. 1 for electronics work, 1 for disassembly/reassembly. NEVER do both on the same bench.
I have good friends, that are completely insane, that had their first child 2 years ago at the age of 45. And the TV is on 24/7 to entertain the child. It's insane enough to have a kid at that old age, but they dont have the energy to actually raise the child, so the TV will do.

Nope, quite old to this. They cant stop me.

But where do I buy my metallic silver collarless lab coats? An evil genius needs to look good when taking over the world.
Or even a basic white but with some Flair! I must get Doctor Horrible's tailor's number.

Try them in a motorcycle. I replace them 4 times a roding season. But they are worth it due to motorcycle makers being epic dumb on headlight design.
No the answer to the asshole tailgaiting is a pipe bumper and standing on the brakes. It will make those light go out quickly.

Audi R8 and S8 are the ONLY ones that have LED headlights as an OPTION. They are not standard.
Or are you confused and think that the stylized strip of led's for DRL indicators are the headlights...
"The reference should certainly make the Bitmap Brothers happy."
Daft Punk is lightly amused...

You might be funny.... but make some Brownies but replace the cooking oil with Bacon fat. ZOMG far better than the "healthy" crap.

I just have a Tesla Coil I run 24/7 as a security device. so all I generate is Ozone.
