Nah, I just use AI to make me look more trim in photos.
The camera shaves off about 250 lbs.
What's your current headache?

My kitchen breaker needed resetting a few times yesterday and I was annoyed that I had to keep fixing the clocks. Today it consistently clicks off after about 10 min. I have an electrician friend coming through on Thursday so I can't complain too hard but emptying the priorities of a recently stocked fridge into a cooler is irritating as hell. Can't even cook the pizza in my freezer. Already probably 100 bucks in the trash before I even see my electrician pal.

Ruff, brother.
I had some pretty aggravating breaker-related issues yesterday as well. 2k amp main breaker on a rooftop tripped about 15 minutes before quitting time.
Was there until 8:30pm (started @6) trying to get everything operating again, and trying to narrow down which of my 40 large loads on the rooftop was causing the trip.
I need sleepppppppp

Having an electrician friend is a good friend to have.
While I understand how it works, 120v scares the hell out of me. I will change out a light fixture or outlet but that is it. Even then I am terrified the entire time.

That never works for me either. I have to use the oven every single time!

This forum is too damn big and I'm lost! I'm working on an overdrive design based on a discrete opamp and I'd like to share and get some feedback. Anyone know what forum here is most appropriate for this kind of thing? I'm floating between the Test Kitchen and the Community Boardroom under Schematic/PCB design but idk. either way... Ik this place isn't very strict about topic enforcement but I don't want to be a part of the problem!

Sounds like a good thing to throw in General Questions under the "Technical Forums" bit.

Ah shoot, you just need to build up a little dielectric callous from too many shocks across your chest brain. Then it's alllllllll good buddy. I grab a wire and then be like ah shit my hair standing on end again. Time to grab the portable defibrillator. Or just the conductor again. NBD.
What's real fun is showing an apprentice how you can stand in one place, not touching anything else, and place your finger on a live 460vac terminal with no ill effects. That is, until the day you step on a sufficiently long tack that just so happens to offer a convenient path to ground that bypasses the insulation in your boots.
Then, well, they'll probably be traumatized into never doing what you just did.

I've always hated when people say "that's not my job", so I have a nasty habit of agreeing to do everything I'm asked to do even if it shouldn't be my job. Now here I am simultaneously supporting 6 projects at work, including covering for both a mechanical engineer and a project manager who are on vacation this week.
I am stressed.
EDIT: on the bright side I have a manager that actually cares about me as a human being, I just set up a meeting with him tomorrow to hand off some of my work.

Well, there's ...
Project Development — but I think that's more for Robert's stuff.
I think you're good whichever you choose, Test Kitchen or Schematic/PCB design.
I like and appreciate that you care enough to not want to be part of the problem!
Please thow out a link to your project.

All the snow was pretty much gone. This morning dumped 15cm ( 6" ) of snow... You can bet your car-insurance premium & deductible that everyone's forgotten how to drive in slippery wet-snow conditions already.
The sky's still dumping snow...
Sasha sure loves it, though.

I chose the test kitchen! I had option anxiety lol.
I sure am glad we had a mild winter and things are warming up right now to the point where surprise snow attacks won't be an issue anymore. Where are you located?

Not a headache, but a shout out to Kevin at AionFx. After my boards arrived damaged the USPS said nah, first class is uninsured mail and we won’t compensate. Sent an email to AionFx and Kevin promptly popped another Redshift in the mail for me
. Say what you will about their footswitch boards, they do have some great customer service.

F#$%&@@^@&^&*^ , forget surface mount soldering, this is HARDER and way, WAAAY more frustrating! Undoing knots from a very fine necklace chain. The links are about 1mm long (*picture greatly enlarged to show texture). There were several knots elsewhere on this thing, some of them double! Took me one hour under the microscope. The missus owes me bigly.

She’s lucky to have you!
I find those can seem impossible to loosen until you give them a gentle shake and then they almost undo themself on their own. The key is then to pull on the loosened loop slowly without any force. Anyway that's what's working for me!

Damn!
Feelin' your pain — Been There Done That, zero reward.
T'would be hilarious to use such little chains as jumpers/connectors from a daughterboard to motherboard — ex 3PDT-breakout to main board.
