The famous Jupiter one isn’t.

…or vice versa, usually depending on the taunter’s gender.

Also, see xkcd 1202 and 2771

FYI, it’s 6^th of March, not 3^rd of June (that would be Friday), just 2 weeks into the war.

I’m sure many rely on it for a good reason. A food delivery company in my country partners with a charity to enable phone orders and free delivery to the elderly.

Håj is OK. Håj can sqish

Nope, same problem as linear. Can you get angle correct to 4 decimal places and prevent the contact from oxidation?

“Digital potentiometers” are rotary encoders, which are switches, not resistive dividers. They are a useful input device for a microcontroller but not in an analog circuit.

Another option is a multi-pole rotary switch with selectable resistors in each position, but that only gives you the available values.

They are all larger and more expensive. Just use two E12 resistors in parallel or series, you can always get within 1 %. They cost a dime a dozen. The series was made for such combinations – did you know that 180 Ω and 220 Ω in parallel gives 99 Ω, a value useful for 1/100 dividers?

The least reliable resistor. Not to mention the trial-and-error getting it close enough to the target value.

E192 resistors are expensive. E6 resistors 6.8Ω and 68Ω in parallel, available pretty much everywhere components are sold, result in 6.1818 Ω, which is within 0.05 % of the target, around the edge of what you can achieve without active temperature compensation.

I think our country is headed in the right direction, just very slowly. Gay marriage and abortion rights have been stuck in an awkward position for years but I believe we’ll get there.

Yup, the name change is tied to gender: you can’t have a traditional Czech female name as an official male and vice versa, and there are no gender-neutral ones (our language is very gendered and nobody has developed a neutral framework that more than a handful of people would use). Transgender people would try to register diminutives Péťa (Petr/Petra) or Míša (Micha(e)l/Michaela) but end up needing an extra psychologist’s note for them. Only foreign gender-neutral diminutives such as Alex (Alexander/Alexandra) that had a history of being registered by either gender would be easy to obtain.

It’s still fucked up that the year is meant to “test-drive” the gender but one still has to use their AGAB-gendered name in all but informal communications. And wigs are forbidden on ID card photos, of course.

Yup, Czechia is the preferred name, but either can be used. Inside the country, it’s like 5% pro-short-name, 5% pro-long-name, 30% don’t speak English, and 60% don’t care.

We use “Česko” all the time even though it’s “Česká republika” (ČR) in all official documents. The historical lands (Bohemia, Moravia, part of Silesia) have nice short names already but “Czech” was a nationality before it was a country, which is why putting it in line with the others feels off. (Yes, there was a country that encompassed all of Czech Republic and more, called Království české (Kingdom of Bohemia) but Moravians didn’t complain because české means either Bohemian or Czech in Czech.)

Juli, nicht Merz.

Judging from the context, allowing one’s chest to be used as a pillow.

It’s a loose fit, okay? Just a company that has “profi” and “cis” in its name, so no more pride flags in a professional setting. Not deeper than that.

As Pride Month ends, companies are abandoning colorful stripes. Yes, it’s not very fitting but there isn’t a company called Sad Trans CZ, okay?

Probably a habit from the dark ages: there is an entire generation (15 years if you were rich in 1998 and poor in 2013) of phones where SMS is the longest freeform text storage available, and only 1 draft can exist at a time, hence the sending.

The trademark isn’t though. Still, I think you’re clear if you only use or derive from public domain works AND clearly state that you’re not affiliated with Disney.

O nee

I’m not saying they don’t work. Even thermoelectric ones do, it’s just that they are worse.
