Hrrrrrrmmmmm….🤨
Why… according to this… I’m somewhere on the first three rows! By my reckoning I’m closest to the middle one on the second row. Or maybe even the top one.
An inventor maybe? In school I invented a circuit that put out more voltage than was fed into it. Even my fur bag prof was impressed. “It looks like an antenna farm, Filthie… what in hell have you done here…?”
He leaned in close to the bread board, in hopes of inspecting and trouble shooting it… and three small capacitors exploded at once and the circuit self destructed.
“My science and technology is far beyond your grasp, Fur Bag!” I intoned grandly. “I will not allow lower life forms like you to emulate my work!”
I failed the assignMINT and barely passed his course with a 51%. It was the lowest mark I received in my school career. I’m no whiz kid… but ol’ Fur Bag was a seriously flawed instructor.
I wonder if the creepy old bastard is still alive?
If you ever see me with blue eyes, that means I'm running a quart low. IYKYK.
ReplyDeleteThe old voltage doubler trick. One chip had a cascade of 100 or more. Kent
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to building circuits… I can do fairly straightforward ones. I can hold my own with the old school chips for the most part. But the new stuff with 100 pin outs and large printed circuit boards… nope. That’s not me. I could learn it… just as I could learn to code… but there are guys that do that far better than me…
DeleteRight there with ya on that. If you ever need chips and components from the 70's and early 80's give me a shout. My basement shop has 2 walls of shelving with parts from op amps to memory and discrete components from active to passive. Have to find someone that wants to buy the whole lot for actual repairs and restoration work (if any still exist), hate the thought of it all going into the dustbin when I pass. But then it won't be a worry, eh? Yep, am an EE from just before the first days of the PC computer evolution on through the 386, then switched careers away from electronics.
DeleteI got the soldier row which is appropriate. I have myself have never served but my dad, grandpa, both uncles, and two brothers served. We have served in every war America has ever fought since 1776 through the global war on terror.
ReplyDeleteCool. I always wanted to rise to peasant status.
