You know, I just thought about it and realized I do too sometimes. That’s actually kind of fascinating.

It’s sad how much waste goes into building stuff. Like you really don’t see it till you’re in it, it’s mind boggling how many plastic baggies I get from digikey for example.

Working on environmental r&d I keep trying to tell myself the ends justify the means, the ends justify the means, but… worried about it.

Anyway! Glad we’re experienced at reducing waste as the years have passed. You, me, possibly the other readers. We’re doing the best we can.

Nah man, these were terminations from companies like L-com, molex for a little while, etc.

You’re absolutely correct otherwise, but we spent money on what were supposed to be reliably engineered products by large connector companies. The wire was supposed to be good stuff too. I was a lot younger so I don’t remember the exact details honestly.

In my experience, long term reliability of crimped stranded cable (that particular combo, to be clear) has lower longevity with vibratory environments.

There are some crimps that are great for stranded, but the RJ series (and others which stamp down) generally don’t seem to be good enough.

Again, anecdotal, but yeah.

Who the fuck cares. Fuck the Nazis, I’m on paper saying as much and I’ll fucking end as many as I can if they want to try me.

Word on yet more of Cuomo, but get this compromised fuckhead Adams right the fuck outta here.
