Citizens United?

What's that?

Some more great engineering failures are here ;

Real men use Unijunction Transistors like the 2N2646.

One of the books I first tried to learn from was _Miniature Projects for Electronic Hobbyists_ by one Ken W. Sessions. It was really a unijunction transistor project book. You know how some people will say you'll learn maybe not the best mental models for electronics from Forrest Mims' books? (I don't get it, they seem OK to me) Well, Forrest has nothing on Ken W. Sessions. The circuits worked, though.

Japan's continued use of the imperial year system is similar to America's use of imperial units instead of the metric system.

Don't count on either changing soon.

Wait until you learn about companies that use their founding year as the first year on their calendar.

But also, it is, in fact, changing. A lot of official government dates (such as drivers licenses) are no longer going to use the imperial year system.

A driver's license needs to be legible by foreigners when you travel abroad. The cops aren't going to bother looking up Kanji to figure out whether your license is valid, so the dates had better be printed in Gregorian.

Gotta get those gasoline prices down before the midterms.

With all the saber rattling from China what else were they supposed to be doing?

I doubt that. Takaichi has (IMHO needlessly) angered China and China is lashing out - because China is much bigger, the economic pain will be much greater for Japan.

It's theoretically possible that Takaichi had a plan and decided the economic pain was worth it, but generally you don't win elections by hurting economy.

A Data Center is a Crypto Miner in disguise. Understand that fact, and you understand the future.

This saved me a lot of money! After checking the price, I bought a new broom, mop and a bucket.
