We did not do shit to improve our old house in Texas from when we bought it 2016 to when we sold it on 2025, the appraised value went from 195k to 331k. Its based on sales of similar houses in the area and (theoretically) capped at a 10% increase per year assuming you have a homestead exemption. They can also do cap loss recovery for some period of time after appraisals stop increasing to recoup the "lost cap" from years when there was a greater than 10% increase but the homestead exemption prevented them from getting all of it.
I miss radio shack... and frys, I don't need 100 5k ohm resistors, I need 3. Thank god Microcenter and EPO are still around. Shoutout to Mouser and McMaster Carr too but their shipping adds up for oddball stuff.
Sweet, thanks for the info! I had some Red a number of years ago when a buddy grabbed it from a duty free shop and was excited to share it. We ended up mixing it with a mexican coke. Very much a "thanks this is terrible" moment.
The rit synthetic fabric dye works on some plastics as well. I originally got that to use on my gamecube controller port cover and figured why not try it here. I did the purple one first, and when it turned out more pink colored I tried adding the black since I wanted a more olive green color.
The ultrasonic cleaner was just because it had the ability to heat the fluid inside and maintain the temperature rather than boiling and letting it cool down. I am curious if running the ultrasonics would have made a difference in how well the dye was mixed but I didn't test that.
I don't have any additional resources, I learned about this stuff on youtube from a guy who was doing a wii shell. I'll see if I can find the link.
People can change their views but the straw that broke the Camel's back thing makes me think less that they have really grown or changed as a person and are alligned with the same world views, hopes, dreams, and goals, as me and more that they will jump off the bandwagon and go back to their shitty views as soon as someone more "moderate" comes along on their side.
I want real consequences for this stuff. It's great that they are getting chastized but this stuff needs to result in disbarment or the like. In engineering if you put a PE stamp on something that isn't to standard or if you are found guilty of ethical violations you don't get to keep practicing as a PE. The same standard needs to be applied to other professions. Citing a fake case is a fucking huge ethical violation and malpractice, and needs to be treated as such.
Ya love to see it. May nature prevail.
Do it with a duck call.

Yep! They used to have a location down by NASA too but that closed in the early 00s.
Yeah, they are just farther away from me vs Mouser and have the same problem with shipping. A 10 cent resistor costs $15 to ship.

Support of geonocide is also a hard line.
That reminds me, I need to buy my celebration whiskey...
It also reduces microplastics iirc. Who knew, getting rid of contaminated stuff makes you have less contaminates in you body?
I keep reassuring myself that old age will catch up eventually.
(it is a war crime)
Bo's got you covered
This is something that The Satanic Temple needs to get on board with.

Well, thats appalling.

I love mine. I need to pickup a 4th.
Look how far it got Kissenger
