Well, not "kind" of dark, but really dark. I mean, the cartoon couldn't be more direct in comparing the "haitian Simpsons" to the jews and other racial minorities in Nazi Germany, with the last panel being a page from the life of Anne Frank.

I think some economists would blow a gasket at that thought, since limiting spending power is the best way of controlling inflation without hurting the big fortunes.

Wonder what else these trusted media sources aren’t telling you about?

Interesting times we live in. The "trusted sources" are by now arguably deeper into the pockets of big capital than ever, while there's a whole cloud of alternative sources that will cater to anyone with an agenda and money to spend...

Also, this happened 4 years ago. Why is it being posted like it's news?

No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?

It looks like a fun chair.

Yes, that's the original joke - having been taught in British schools, they learned about Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

Why this is in the school curriculum, however, is another matter, and this thread is pointing out the coincidence that the British empire colonised Nicaragua for like two centuries.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
