Inflation! Just use the money printer to print more money! Subsidy checks for everyone! Unexpected bonus checks for military personnel, brand new accounts for children with money that needs to be invested in an approved stock market index fund, throwing even more money at DHS and the DoD budgets!
Agree that SMD hand assembly is easier than it looks, at least down to 0603 imperial. If I can wait the week for boards to arrive, I’ll often skip the breadboard step and go straight to a proto PCB, especially since most parts aren’t available in throughhole without waiting on dev boards anyway.
When you hand someone a board with 0603s on it that you hand-assembled, it seems like magic to people who stop to think about it.
Edit: and if you’re unclear on my point, which I assume you are given you think that some rudimentary math invalidates my comment, the point was that a salary does not result in happiness, having money does, a high salary is the thing required to achieve it.
I started mentoring an FRC (high school robotics contest, not battle bots, about 110# mostly custom robots playing a 3v3 game) team 2 years ago and it’s really been enjoyable and rewarding to see the students grow in their capabilities and to have a competitive framework, a timeline, budget and time pressure, and then a break from the insanity when the season is over.
Many, many teams need technical mentors and I really look forward to each season. Not 100% if I’ll continue once my kids graduate, but I wouldn’t rule it out.
I think he means advice to the OP, and your credentials is your experience with students. Nothing wrong with a nice personal story like you posted though, imo.
Someone asked for help and they just talked about themselves. It's fine to do and lead into something like what he learned from that experience and how that might be helpful to the OP but without that advice it is just them talking about themselves. It's just... weird...
Ok. I did miss the line where I specifically give advice to OP that they also consider becoming a mentor to a local FRC team as a way for them to begin to learn about robotics.
I thought that I left the dots close enough for people/OP to draw the line, but it seems I missed the mark; good feedback on my lack of clarity; thanks!
I think I wouldn't infer that because I personally wouldn't feel comfortable teaching a bunch of kids how to do something that I didn't know how to do myself. To me it seemed like you were almost suggesting they join a high school team but that didn't feel right either.
The only people I've ever met who dreamed of retiring to run a retail operation were those who have never worked retail a day in their life - they imagine it to be like a sitcom or something.
>Do we really need insurance to cover $100/mo meds?
For people making how much? Low income people are jumping through the hoops to get SNAP. $100 for them is a lot, and which they might just not have. And for insurance it would be cheaper long-run than dealing with diabetes, etc.
Anyway, why a such "submarine" attack on the $100 GLP-1 sources and why now? Well, one way of thinking would be that Trump RX just went online and there, thanks to the well known Trump's care about people's needs, the GLP-1 is $350, so one has to remove the $100 competitors.
It’s not a submarine attack at all. If anything I bet you these compounders are surprised they haven’t been shut down already for blatantly violating the law.
It’s a case of trying to get so many consumers buying that regulators are scared to touch you due to blowback. Much like Uber did.
Just wait until you find out how the feds enacted the 55mph speed limit or are using the threat of revoking Medicare funding for hospitals that perform certain medical procedures that the feds would like to have not happen...
Presumably the airport or airline has agreed to (or would agree if asked to) have TSA decide whether you are “free to go that way, towards the airplanes”.
You are already free to go that other way (towards the street), but not necessarily free to go the way you want.
