class X and class Y capacitors are neat

class-X capacitors are guaranteed to fail short if they fail, and are to be placed between live and neutral, or between two live phases, so that if they fail, high current flows, which trips a breaker or blows a fuse and leaves no hazard

class-Y capacitors are guaranteed to fail open; they're put between live and ground and neutral and ground, so that a failing capacitor doesn't result in something meant to be grounded becoming live

e-begging but also good news 

So yesterday I looked at a room to rent after finally getting a response from places I looked into. I talked with the owner, the room is decent sized and cozy. The payments are weekly and I can afford them.

Last night I filled out a background check and I got confirmed for the room. This morning I sent my first payments. I did it. ;-;

My last issue now is that I have no furniture of my own. Not even a bed. Any help goes towards that ;-;

most C0G caps are SLCCs and those only go up to *maybe* a nanofarad, though we've seen multi-nF C0G MLCCs but they're super expensive

well i guess C0G MLCCs are probably more reliable than film caps but they're expensive and not available in as high a capacitance

film capacitors are pleasant. less troublesome than electrolytics, more reliable than MLCCs

which is also true of the xbox 360 controller, but i think the gcn controller is better

y'know, the gamecube controller is probably one of the best controllers ever made except for its dpad

Told this morning that I have only a month to find a place to move to or I’m left homeless by my ex and her family this morning. Any help is appreciated, even if you just RT. Thank you.

seeking a room to rent 

If anybody knows a queer safe place on Long Island, NY where I can rent a room and just exist for awhile, please let me know.

Ive contacted numerous people listing rooms for rent on craigslist and weeks have gone by and nothing. I feel hopeless, I don't know what to do.

two days in a row we had to come in an hour early because someone needs to be there to let the electrician in... we're going to try to leave early today i think
