Did you have a job lined up or go there on the fly. It seems such a risk to go there and have nothing lined up.

For your first time in say a rigid 18T would using both mirrors be considered difficult?

I mean in a car you're used to using the rear mirror the most and all of a sudden you have to drive the HGV using both mirrors. I just couldn't do this fast enough especially the nearside, I was just glancing over when the instructor told me to check my mirrors but I didn't really fully engage with what the mirrors would have been showing. There was just too much for my brain to cope with keeping the HGV on the road I feared I would drift a tiny bit after checking the mirrors this includes checking the offside when a large vehicle goes past.

This is obviously a skill you learn with practice but to put somebody in a 18T and expect them to take all this in seems a lot for the brain to cope with .

I'm toying with the idea , it's £55 a ticket for the worst seats and a bit of drive to get to Glasgow .

It would be a morning session also.

According to Drew Day(I just watched a vid interview if him), institutions / funds have an edge over retail traders.

They have better tools / software, faster connections, better strategy , better data etc.

Is this true . I thought everybody was essentially on the same level. I can see how market makers can make a lot of money on the spread but we are not talking about MM's here, just big fund traders that have the same access to the markets as we do(or do we?).

What do you say can a retail trader be just as good as a big fund ?

There's an lcd on AliExpress that LCSC don't stock can I sent this to them with my Gerber to get built into my PCB?

Up to say a km of 21-25% gradient, it seems to be the lower legs, particularly calves that struggle the most. What kind of training do you do for the steep stuff?

I'm building a small project that uses an HT1621 LCD driver, but most of the HT1621s I can find are either bare SMD chips or already attached to an LCD module

I'd like to experiment with a bare HT1621 before designing a PCB.

What is the usual way people do this?

Do you solder it to an SSOP/TSSOP-to-DIP adapter board?

Are there breakout boards available?

Is there a test socket that's practical for hobby use?

How do you connect a bare HT1621 to a breadboard for prototyping?

I'm using a microcontroller (currently STM8) and eventually want to drive a custom segmented LCD.

Any advice or examples of your prototyping setup would be appreciated.

I have an stm8 but I'm having difficulty programming it with stlink it could just be loose cables, the Dupont cables don't seem very secure or could be poor soldering. I don't know but I've spent quite a bit of time of it.

What alternatives are there chips and programmers like ATtiny seems quite expensive . Is there any 8 bit chip equivalent to the STM8 + programmer that's as cheap as the STM8?

I think they may be called pogo connectors ?

It's for an stm8 dev board, my soldering is poor so I'm looking for another option to connect to the PCB hole connector on the dev board

I've never had a snapper faster shoe than the EP1, it really propelled you forward . Is there another shoe with similar characteristics?

I assume beginning of June is too early or depends on the weather, I'm in the UK.

Many countries in Europe are complaining about the mass influx of immigrants, I just watched Tyler Oliveria's video on Portugal where the foreign-born population rose from 4% to 15% of the total population in just seven years. One of many examples. This is obviously a setup as most of these immigrants don't come from persecution or war torn countries. They are opportunists.

This is happening all over and in the US also I believe, what do the elites have to gain from this ?

As currently I get no cable connected on monitor. My PSU only has 1x8 and 1x6 but the GPU needs 2x8pin i was under the impression the gpu should still fire up and display though even though it's not a wise idea in the longer term . So instead of buying a new PSU I thought I'd try it with ,1x8 and 1x6 thinking if it doesn't work the gpu is probably dead and I could get a new GPU needing only 1x8pin saving me buying a new PSU?

Has anyone had any issues trading derivatives in Thailand if your from the UK?

Obviously you can't (well not safely) in the UK. Those who have traded in Thailand did you just start a new account when in Thailand and use you Thai address?

I'm talking exchanges like binance and mexc
