    middle finger from RR to goose island land owners

    Are you talking about the Tollway and IL-390? They were only trying to buy a few feet of property and at the last minute CP changed their mind and backed out, so the tollway used eminent domain.

    Recommended Brands for Brake Pads/Rotors

    It uses (IIRC) the same brakes as the Lancer, soooo, there's a fair amount of options.

    Recommended Brands for Brake Pads/Rotors

    With 95k on the clock, my Outlander Sport is in need of new pads and rotors (and shims, according to the dealer). In the past I've used either advanced or autozone, I don't recall which, that came with I think a lifetime warranty. I remember being satisfied with the parts at the time, and have...

    Soooo... Solar Roadways stopped by the other day with a couple of panels Much larger than I had expected, but it makes sense for stability. The creators (the husband and wife from the video) seemed nice, and overall very enthusiastic about their idea. :dunno:

    Netflix Stranger Things

    That's a bit unfair. It's a fairly well written show, IMO, and if you like fantasy/horror it's easy to see it as an easily "binge-able" show. It's definitely not a "kid show" besides having children actors, as the characters definitely don't act like 11/12 y/o's most of the time. I...

    1 MW is retardedly huge. BUT, I'd be a fool to decline an offer to work on a project like that. But just to put 1 MW into perspective, let's say that my converter has a 99% efficiency (which is nuts), that means it's still dissipating 10 KILOWATTS of heat energy. Which, because I decided I...

    Agreed lol. The big reasons for the difference in philosophy are, I assume, the level of power we're going for, budget, and time/motivation. - We need to supply up to 3.6 kW of power... do they even make op-amps that can handle that level of power? Switching was basically our only option...

    You're on the right track! Basically, we are working with an industry sponsor to create a flexible battery backup system. Pretty much any battery can be connected, and you will get 120 VAC @ 60 Hz (15 A). 3.3V and 5V are for digital components. 15V is for some of the higher power...

    Awesome thread, I can't wait to have space for my own home lab setup. I'll grab some more pics when I get in the lab tomorrow, but here is the setup for testing a project I'm working on (with 3 other people).
