I think tinkercad is a great place to start. It's browserbased and doesn't cost money. It may not have a lot of components, but it still have quite a few more than just resistors, caps and inductors. And it is aimed at newbies and hobbyists, which is reflected in range of the available components. Being able to drag an Arduino into your sketch and have it run your program is neat.

We used to use yenka, when I taught electronics. It was OK for teaching, but I don't know if I'd recommend it for self-paced learning as a hobbyist. It costs money, requires software installation and is so much more than just electronics that navigating the program can be difficult. And default settings explodes components when you put too much current through them, that alway annoyed me.

Are you talking to me? I mean you replied to my comment, but saying that I'm referencing studies doesn't make any sense. Well at least not to me, because I don't believe that I claimed to have any studies for anything.

If you meant to reply to me, please go read my first paragraph, and the maybe try it a second time. I actively tried to avoid getting labeled as dismissing the claims.

OP's claims of "oh mer gerhd you dead soon" were so broad and so wild that they didn't seem rooted in research. Asking for citations would be like asking your antivax aunt for her DIY "research". But at least the claims should motivate people to seek healthcare, if they get knocked unconscious. Something that will save lives. So I left it at that.

I asked for citations where I did, because it seemed like that commenter worked in the medical field, and actually could have the studies handy.

If you read my request as casting doubt, then I invite you to read the first paragraph again. I specifically pointed out I just like scientific research, data, and evidence. I actually tried to avoid being seen as arguing against the claims.

I can't help that you (and a lot of other people, apparently) see asking for citations, as casting doubt. Expressing doubt wasn't my intention, I was genuinely curious about the sources.

And if being curious about science is wrong, then I'm going crawl up under a warm blanket, with a cup of chai and a nice peer reviewed metastudy, while staying wrong.

Edits: grammar hard

That's the problem with anecdotal evidence. You can always find that one person who fulfills the criteria but who's outcome doesn't match.

Of course you can be fine afterwards. But there's a considerable risk that you're not, and experiencing symptoms of a traumatic head injury does warrant a visit to the hospital.

Edit. Lol people downvoting in ignorance. Classic.

Firstly, bitching about downvotes is tacky. So tacky that even on reddit it was frowned upon.

Secondly, in ignorance? Well it's either that or because you seem to believe that every 20yo that can afford to travel is a privileged douce. Take your pick, it really doesn't matter to anyone else what you believe.

I swear, at my next job I'll ask for a Mac. We were forced to switch to windows 11 by our outsourced IT MSP, at my current job and it wasn't pretty.

If I can help it my future windows experience will be spinning up a VM on my proxmox host, and killing it off after use. No personal files will be going on there.

Lead Paint Girl and Asbestos Boy were just here!

"Lead Paint Girl" ?!? You can't call someone that! Lead is heavy and causes mental retardation (I'm sorry if that word offends you, it's the literal translation of the diagnosis in my language)... Anyway, calling people "lead paint person" indicates that they're both heavy and idiots.

So with no further ado, let me introduce to you, the next president of the United States of America:

Donald "The Lead Paint President" Trump

It could be abbreviated as LPP. Alternative uses of the abbreviation, could revolve around pronouncing the letters PP, and substituting the L with words like "Little", "Leaky" or "Leprous". Finding better words starting with L may be a fun game to play with your friends, when you're hiding in the hidden part of your basement, while armed right wing nut jobs go hunting for libs in the 2028 election.

Put it in this context I do believe we can see where the hospital clowns concept is going

And even if you haven't killed them outright, they can have permanent disabilities.

If you, or someone you know, gets knocked out, or experiences other symptoms of a central nervous system trauma after a hit to the head, please seek medical care immediately. It's not one those "take two aspirin and let's see how it goes in the morning" kinda things.

I'm just one person, but during my life I've seen this multiple times. I will refrain from boring you, and doxxing myself, by telling my anecdotes. Suffice it to say that I have known people who would have been dead if they hadn't gone to work with a "bad hangover", or ended up with narcolepsy or chronic encephalopathy. And that was separate people BTW.

TBH shooting a rat with 5.56x45 would leave you with more cleaning up than dissectable rat.

 

I am the lucky owner of a 20m blackberry hedge. Last years yield was about 15kg and thus year looks to be the same.

But here's the thing, 15kg is far too much to make jam of, so last year I experimented with wine. I got this kit https://brew2bottle.co.uk/products/better-brew-hedgerow-wine-kit-23l and just followed the instructions. And it was a great success, everyone who's tasted it have even been to nice to say it was bad or have actually complimented the wine. But I still have half the wine left and now it's time for 2023s harvest.

I'm still considering wine, jam and some juice but... What would you do with a lot of blackberries?

 

As we all know correlation equals causation, and you can always extrapolate from a trend seen in a single research project.

Throwaway any and all ideas you have from that scientific theory course you had to take in university.

 

The video shows brains, but no blood.

10000 brains in individual buckets in a basement. The brains were obtained without consent and now poses an ethical dilemma.

Youtube suggested this video for me. And I have never seen anything like it. My wife heard my exclamation and agreed with a "what the fork".

So my question to you, dear reader, is this: wtf, is this real?

Edit: "is" had become "us"

 

We relocated the raspberries last fall, and then promptly forgot about them. What would probably amount to 5m of shrubs, is now covered in stinging nettles and various other weeds. We managed to not even pick enough to cover the bottom of the steam juicer (on the left). It came out at just shy of 2dL, which was promptly sweetened and hardened with gelatin.
