  • Somehow I feel like the green on some green PCBs from the 80s and 90s look so much nicer than the standard green PCBs you get now, but I can’t put my finger on it. https://xdevs.com/doc/Fluke/8842A/img/acred.jpg

    There are makerspaces here, but they are still a bit far which sucks because they are cool. But with the time getting there and back plus the cost of admission, I feel like I’d have to be doing way more projects to make it worth. definitely one thing I regret about school is not using their makerspace enough. Also kinda the whole degree. hehehehhh

    Though I mostly work on electronics and I think the good thing about electronics, compared to machine shop stuff, is that you can really get a lot done with just a little lab. Precision gear still costs a lot, but it’s nothing compared to the cost of big mills and lathes and stuff. And it actually fits in the apartment




  • I think one of the main flaws of socialism and planned economies in general is not accounting for supply and demand. In a capitalist society, if you don’t want something, you don’t buy it, whereas under a planned economy you’re stuck with it because that’s what the state decided to make. Case in point the coffee shortages in east Germany when it was controlled by the soviets. The people were extremely unhappy to the point of rioting.

    ooooooooooooooh the coffee

    As opposed to our famously robust capitalist economy which never has shortages and efficiently allocates resources to the most critical needs, of course.
