Why does this happen? I feel like the stupidest person in the world 90% of the time. Log into work and our PostgreSQL server is about to fall over. I don’t know PostgreSQL, I didn’t setup the server and I generally don’t have anyone on to help me, but I manage to execute a complicated fix before it implodes. Then I go back to forgetting where I put my phone down every thirty seconds.

I just got diagnosed a year and a half ago or so. Reading other peoples stories has really helped me reflect on the past and put every thing in context.

Julie Julia Evans! I love her stuff. I haven’t read her blog in a bit, this is now a good excuse.

I can’t help you with stock market stuff unfortunately. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to have to deal with the headache of it all myself. If you’re still interested in writing a bot though a great way to learn is to pickup the programming language Python. There is a ton of free material out there for beginners. A good first project for when you start to feel comfortable is writing your own discord bot. If you’re interested I can try to find some links after work to share!

Dealers don’t clean their scales. That’s why it shows up in other drugs that are or were powders. That’s it. Fentanyl and carfentanyl are just that lethal. Those benzos and other pills begin as powder before being pressed. Also, pretty much all black market oxys or Percocets are pressed fent these days from what I’ve heard. Unfortunately, it takes very little fentanyl to cause an overdose, especially in those who don’t have any previous history with opioids (i.e. kids taking mdma at a music festival not expecting to stop breathing) . Cannabis laced with fentanyl is nonsense.

Edit: I’m going to copy this and post it as a root level comment so others can see.

This is a very sensible change. It’s an open secret that discord has been leveraged by hackers for quite some time. You can even search Github and find examples where exfiltration of data is done via discord. Discord is not a file host and should not be used as such. I’m just glad they’re doing it in such a way to minimize the impact on users and devs.

They’re asking for a translation.

There he is! Yup, piezo buzzer, good work op.

It’s an x2 capacitor to supress emi. He eventually linked it to me down below as well.

Oh lord, I thought op meant beeper as in the radio device. I’m an idiot.

Here’s what those buzzers can sometimes look like:

They just make sound to indicate the state of things when used as part of a circuit. Like your kettle being finished boiling water.

?

Top is a relay, bottom is a capacitor. Thanks! The sound you’re hearing is probably from a piezo buzzer like some one else mentioned. I wish I was home so I could send you a picture of one. They can be really loud!

A lot of kettles use sound to indicate state. If you’re nervous you should alert your local authorities rather than wait. Better safe than sorry.

Edit: Sorry folks. I thought op meant beeper as in the radio device. It’s late where I am and I’m tired, hah. Was just trying to encourage a bit of safety.

Is the capacitor an x2 cap for voltage surges? Looks like it. The rest is just normal stuff. Not my field, been out of school for years and am an idiot. That being said I’m curious: what’s the inductor by the Emi suppression capacitor for in this circuit? Is it just to form a tank circuit to heat the kettle more efficiently?
