@PawelK OMG they have CZUB, I love their products. I might be looking to move, it sounds lovely.

@PawelK It sounded familiar but I didn't know it was the promised land! I've heard many great things about there and Romania.

Romanian Guard with AKM-U? thing. It just looks like a friendly place. Photo is wiki common something.

@atyh @PawelK LiFePO4 batteries still need PMUs and they aren't easy for me to find at least for my requirements. Using 4 in series would be a 12.8V bundle but the individual cells need to be managed too. I've looked into engineering lifepo4 replacement batteries for laptops and it readily becomes apparent that they would rather die.

Can you construct a Stirling Engine? It's very simple and only requires a temperature differential to operate. It can either be operated with heat or cold on the respective sides. Geothermal heat from 20m down and cold from the environment would likely work. Also solar panel cooling lines could run through it before being used for hot water.

@PawelK I'm glad to hear that. Part of me wishes that I had moved somewhere around there. It sounds like a very free place.

@lucifargundam I'm just thinking about my life and how I have been denied a living more times than I care to remember.

It would be nice to make those people care but that's not going to happen. Getting kicked like a stray dog is how my life has gone.

I just want a life and that's all I have ever wanted. It doesn't look like it will ever happen.

I can't express the anger that I feel right now.

Sorry that's 5 spool pins and 1 serrated pin in that lock. Yale type keyway with American Lock Co. cylinder.

The feeling of being able to do this.

@PawelK My favorite locks are Lock Out Tag Out padlocks. 6 security pins with 4 spools and 2 serrated. The keyway is a little difficult but it's the dead core that's the fun part. There's no real feedback from setting a pin. It's like a military padlock but possibly more difficult.

@igelsQTs I like the roller delayed blowback operation of the G3.

@thor It's an immediate turn off.

@thor I don't know what type of diagnostic connectors are used but I'm fairly certain there's a standard like OBD-2 or J1962. It would probably have a reset mechanism built in.

Computers in everything is unnecessary and adds many more problems than it solves. Many vehicles are drive by wire and have been for almost 20 years. The steering, the accelerator and the brakes are mostly just for show. The computers take the input and, using tables, output the corresponding action.

@thor Yes. One must continue to put out work and publications or they will be forgotten. The project I'm working on is mostly to live up to my word but also to show how flexible I am. Hacking is my background but I'm a developer too.

I haven't put out anything in a year or so. I was looking at what I've been doing and it is using parts of three different sciences. I need to document everything and go into detail about the design. It won't get me a degree nor help me in any way. I just want to do this. Working in research and being turned away didn't sit well with me.

@thor This type of view has been rather harmful. I wanted to learn to program with Rust and I liked a lot of the features of the language.

I read the statement by the developers of the language that memory management wasn't needed and could be discarded. I still have that book and I stopped learning Rust on the 23rd page. It was a meme language from that point on.

@thor Proper form and clean code should be the standard. I've only been involved in a few projects and the code being submitted was the last task. I do generally take pride in minimal and properly nested code. It makes it easier to read and understand.

@thor I'm in a similar situation. If you don't stop trying, then you will eventually succeed.

@PawelK They can have that platform.

@thor It's a position that many people find themselves in. You just have to get back up and find that thing you enjoy. Your code is pretty damn slick, it would be a shame to let a bad experience take that away from you. That culture is not good for one's health.

@PawelK ASK is pretty good but I think I used Hackers Keyboard more because of the utility of it. What features do you want to implement?
