I almost rage shopped some capacitors at radio shack the other day. Instead I drove to Fry's, paid less for the caps, but probably spent the difference in gas money. I'm going to have to do the same for more resistors because I can't for the life of my find the right pairs in my stash to make the voltage dividers I need.

dude just put some in series and/or parallel.

i have an interest in nuclear physics but it's not like you cab build a reactor in your back yard.

there was this one kid who kinda did but it didn't really end well

he bought old smoke detectors wholesale and got the americum-241 out and built a contraption with lots of tin foil

in doing so he irradiated half the neighbourhood

his reason for doing all that was trying to get a scout merit badge

lol

he didn't irradiate half the neighborhood and the overreaction against this kid was as sickening a display of cowardly torches & pitchforks as I can remember.

oh i thought he did but i agree they way way overreacted.

uk is 240v so it'll be a bit less amps even.

its 230V

it's actually 230V +/- 10% so you should make sure your calculations are correct for anything between 207-253V

it's supposed to be 230 but they intentionally made the margins so that countries could keep running 220 or 240v systems and last time i was in the uk a year or so ago they were still at 240.

i'm glad people have started doing stuff like uploading doom music played on an old adlib synthesised midi card. it's clearly what it's supposed to sound like

i actually got into collecting this stuff because i stumbled on a youtube of monkey island intro being played on a mt32 which sounds heaps better than the adlib
