Wound the primary coil of my first transformer. Landed right on the 200 ohms I was aiming for. Secondary coil next.

This is a very dangerous restriction on our freedom. Anyone who has influence, this must not pass. A forced Digital ID on everyone in Australia wishing to use some social websites. All based around a bill that has near no information around its actual implementation. They are trying to force it through this very week from almost all sides of government. It will cause huge damage, much more than it could ever fix. Not only that, it will never work. This is not the way (yes, there are other ways that make actual sense).

Today, the Senate held a Committee Hearing on the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024. This expedited inquiry was scheduled with just one day's notice, as the Liberal and Labor parties want to rush this legislation through. The first witness, Ms. Lucy Thomas OAM, CEO of Project Rockit, delivered six minutes of the most relevant, heartfelt, and inspirational testimony on the issue of censoring social media for those under 16. Her insights demonstrated the benefit of lived experience. Before taking a position on this bill, take the time to listen to her testimony.

This is bigger than you might think! SpaceX brings the idea of alternative cooling ideas back to the table!
Very much looking forward to this! The edges of the shield could be improved with this. In theory the entire shield could be replaced.
Are heat tiles the right choice? What do you think? How would you improve SpaceX’s Starship heat shield?

@Geisterjger4 Metallic shielding, supplemented by ullage gas or liquid film-cooling is back on the table as a possibility

What is life without purpose?
But there is a purpose!
It is to expand to the stars and thereby understand the Universe.

WSJ on Elon Musk in Pennsylvania giving young men meaning: “While some critics want to simply chalk up Musk’s antics to toxic masculinity…he stands as a hero to many young men, saying the stuff they’re thinking, chasing dreams they wish they had the courage to imagine, coming to their town to fight the fight. Yes, Musk has unfathomable wealth. More than that, though, to them, Musk has something more precious: purpose.” Getting to Mars and techno-optimism are at least something. What do liberals offer young men? Be nice to people and respect minorities might work for women. But men want something more masculine. And the left isn’t even making a case to them.
