NAILED IT!


I'm good, man...just feels like a lot of things are out of my control now...like how my day is gonna go. Don't do well with that, everything seems bleak...I was tired too, which makes it worse.

Anyway...Kevin...tell her it's a manual once you get home...she'll get over it. Or learn how to drive it. I wouldn't risk any auto transmission in the TL...but that's me.

Like Joe said...that's a steal of a deal with the 105K done, and 6MT...that's pretty much a guaranteed problem free vehicle for another 100K.

You motherfuckers going to buy powerball tickets??

I saw some stupid motherfucker post a picture.. it stated..
There are 300 million people, the powerball is 1.3 billion.
If we split it, we'd all have 4.33 million dollars.
I called that motherfucker a stupid fuck for sharing that.. and then saw it was shared by over 100k people. We're fucking doomed.

I'm not buying no powerball ticket. Maybe 1 $2. Who ever posted that stupid ass thread should be fucking punched in the vagina or nuts.....

Then who ever shares it, should have a water bottle shoved up their ass.

Maj, you're an injunear, i think..


Have you done any Circline fluorescent to LED conversions yet? I'm trying to find a proper LED driver/bulb/strip combination that will work on a dimmer.

reminds me of this time i went and bought tungsten fishing weights and thought I'd made myself a 2 pound oem weighted knob.

I mathed wrong and looked like a buffoon.

Que? Dimming on a LED is driven by step impulses (pulse width modulation). You could drive it by reducing the current source, but you risk under driving it and you'll see wavelength shift, so an impulse driver is your best bet. You could write simple code on a micro, coupled with a potentiometer to create a dimmer for a LED array.

I introduced myself once at a bar as, Sergei Mohammed Falafel al-Saladi. After getting the look from the other person, I said that my parents were weird.

Current dimmers have microcontrollers in them already for LED purposes, I was more wondering about if a properly rated (120V input, xxX Amp, 12V output) driver plus LED strips should do the trick.

pretty sure majofo said to use a capacitor to even out output to avoid flickering led's due to voltage pulses interfering with wave signals.



but i only know layman's terms

The output is set, just make sure the source (~120v) meets the spec of the driver input.
