I was briefly confused how an open source flashlight firmware had anything to do with this..... then I noticed this post wasn't in the Flashlight forum. So apparently Anduril is a war contractor AND a great flashlight firmware but are not related at all.

Totally fair, but frying would lose the zesty, crisp, and freshnes I love about this recipe.

Good luck in your search. Look like a lot of good replys here with great flavors to try.

A recipe my family made up, we call cabbage salad. Kinda an Asian inspired coleslaw?

Finley shred your cabbage and put it into a bowl. Long stringy cut is preferred. Add rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper. Mix well and serve.

I can't give you ratios because we wing it when we make it. Lemon juice is also a good addition.

What do you do if you need a French guy on weekdays?

Redhat 5.2 in 1998. I think I bought a box set from CompUSA.

Totally respect you for saying you don't get it. Way better to admit what you don't know.

In a vacuum, you would be correct that things falling to earth would just keep accelerating until they hit the ground. But we have air which slows things down. Everything that falls in earths atmosphere reaches it's terminal velocity if it falls from a high enough height.

One way to think of it is to think about how anything falling in air has to push the air below it out of the way to fall. If I just jump out of a plane, I'm going to accelerate to a velocity that will likely kill me. Now if I bring a parachute, I'm bringing more weight, but I'm also able to push against a lot more air and the amount of air I push against will slow me enough that even though I'm still falling, my terminal velocity is low enough that I can survive.

The more air something can push against in comparison to it's mass, the lower it's terminal velocity. That being said everything falling in our atmosphere will reach a point where gravity can't pull it through the air resistance any faster. The force of gravity and air resistance are balanced. That is it's terminal velocity.

I've heard prayer warrior since I was a kid in the 80s. The idea is that the prayer warrior is fighting a spiritual battle instead of a physical one. How is it a battle? Well when they start praying, Satan will start to attack with doubts and fears. So it's a fight to preserve and continue praying.

All garbage as far as I'm concerned, but to them is has nothing to do with changing the meaning of words. It's the best way they have to describe how hard it is to pray for hours on end for multiple days when you have a brain telling you that this is silly.

You've got to XFCE it MATE. It makes you a nerd like the rest of us.

I do like ideas that are ridiculous and not practical. :-)

 

I attended the Rockwell Automation fair in Boston and thought I'd share some of the things I learned.

  1. RS Linx and RS 500 will be end of life in 2030. We have a few old MicroLogix and SLC around and have plans for them to be retired or upgraded before then.

  2. As of Studio 5000 V35, FTLinx is the default instead of RSLinx. Some newer software only works with FTLinx.

  3. If during the pandemic, you bought an Allen-Bradley PLC off eBay or something, it's possible that you got a counterfeit. If you upgrade to V32 firmware, you should get a warning. If you upgrade to V33+, you can permanently brick the counterfeit PLC. Good idea to flash all PLCs to V32 before going any further with firmware upgrades.

  4. If you have a Studio 5000 Pro licence, then you have access to the SDK which allows you to automate some Studio 5000 functions like uploading and downloading of the ACD file. In the next release, they plan to have L5X and L5K file access. This potentially opens up making an automated home brew version control where you upload the L5X from the PLC and send it to git where it compares the text with the last version and shows you the changes. I know they sell a version control product (Factorytalk Asset Center), but not every shop wants to fork over that kind of cash.

Love Anduril (self.flashlight)

So my Sofirn SP10 Pro was freaking out today. I don't think it was some weird mode I got into but whatever it was, I couldn't get out of that messed up state. As I was going to bed I realized and Anduril is awesome and there must be some reset procedure. Looked it up and had my flashlight working again and back in advanced UI in under a minute.

I really appreciate ToyKeeper and the awesome programming she has done.
