If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

Another European europeansplaining here.

There was that thing with memes that if corporate social media people posted some meme - that would be akin to that specific meme’s death certificate. Like, people had fun with something, and now there’s corporations trying to buddy up, and it’s no fun anymore.

So… kinda the same thing with celebrity endorsements. Immediately makes things feel 10x less genuine.

You can safely assume them all to be pedos since they’re in service of a pedo that is Russian tzar. So yeah, co-conspirators at best.

Yup. Today’s Russian near total surveillance began as “means to protect the children”.

And Kaczyński just decides to regurgitate ideas from last country anyone should look up to.

Calling her just Russian asset undersells her a bit. She took money from Iran, from Qatar, and even from Assad, which is like lowest low. And list is not complete.

She’s so compromised that magic 8 ball would’ve been a better head of national intelligence. 💀

I feel like AI employed to audit the company and look for ways to increase efficiency can certainly get funny ideas about guys who get seven figure paychecks for showing PowerPoints once in a while. 🌝

Had a situation twice where one particular friend would antagonize other one (different people in both cases), and after some time rest of us would have that “oh!” moment, with that second friend no longer being a friend now.

As for myself - became good friends for almost 10 years now with a person who’s first impression to me was not good to say the least.

They have this quasi-religious cult vibe that makes them like this:

1. Sacred texts that give answers to everything.
2. Saints and prophets. I mean - they mostly identify themselves by someone else’s name - e.g. stalinists, trotskyists, maoists etc.
3. Aggression to outsiders. Building a good sect requires that, it’s how you keep folks inside - just make them hate the outside.

That’s not a scientific conclusion on my part, rather vibe-based one, and some conspiracy theory communities can also be described in that way. Which also leads to next conclusion - they’re kept in by a sense of community, and since that community is built around fringe and often cringe ideas - it only leads to doubling down on ideas that seem stupid or dangerous or simply not thought through to any sensible person.

“Oh, someone had the same problem” as I see forum thread in search results, followed by finding out that thread turned into a gaslighting session on why OP’s problem wasn’t actually a problem, and no solution was provided as result. 🌝

Once during a high school history lesson on a quite debate-inducing topic my teacher just shut me down with “I’m a PhD in history”.

For ~15 years I thought my history teacher was PhD until quite recently discovering it was a lie. 🗿

That’s because their feelings don’t care about the facts. Duh.

I mean, who else would’ve dropped that name.

As for number 4 - actually I thought about Steven Seagal, also about Oliver Stone. But Fred Durst once wanted to move to occupied Crimea to make TV and movie content there, when back in 2015 Russians invited western celebrities to make a new “Beverly Hills” in Crimea. For voicing that idea he was banned from performing in Baltics and Ukraine. 🌚

Ok, let me have a try of forming a list of potential peace negotiators by article’s logic:

1. Viktor Orban (seems to be close to retiring now).
2. Berlusconi’s corpse.
3. Ex-head of «Luhansk People’s Republic» Igor Plotnitsky.
4. Fred Durst.

Each sensible country nowadays figured that all those Olympics and World Cups are now simply an enormous money sink and dick measuring contest for authoritarian hellholes, hence the protests in all somewhat sensible countries before each one.

And I wouldn’t even go into massive corruption of all these international sports committees, with president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino specifically also being a fucking tone-deaf degenerate.

Botox-Sanktionen wirken wirklich. 🌚

As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of “If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊” in answer boxes.

Yeah, but explain that to the children, especially young ones.

I do teaching, and when I set rules about not using phones during class - I put mine to the pile too. You can present the most compelling argument ever, but there’s a much higher chance it’s gonna reach fifth graders if you actually practice what you preach, and show the example of self-discipline, otherwise it will feel dishonest or unfair to kids, because they’re kids.

Article actually describes it well enough, how scientists trained a model on data from CT scans of patients who were treated for other conditions some time before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
