Ok, so I'll be straight with you. I want to respond to your whole comment, but I need to stop engaging in these discussions. So know that I read all that you wrote, and I want to respond to everything. But I need to limit myself.

Do you mean rioting? [...]

I don't know. I don't think so. But something has to be done, and it can't wait until the next election. I'm not advocating violence. Part of me wants to say "eat the rich" and "if enough people shows up with torches and pitchforks, what is Musk going to do?"

But violence isn't solving anything, and besides it would play right into the MAGA dream of a civil war. What has to happen is to copy what MAGA has been doing. Go after local positions. Put prodemocracy persons on school boards, town councils, election boards. Vote in prodemocracy officials like prosecutors, judges, and sheriffs (if any of them aren't just appointed by now)

The guy even won the popular vote, possibly fair and square. Are you under the impression that there is some action we can take at this point to improve the situation?

He only won the popular vote because of the inactions of good people. Prodemocracy movements need an inspiring leader and a cause. Apparently "save the US, save the world" wasn't inspiring enough. IDK what would be, but getting the non fascist Americans motivated and organized is imperative.

Refusing to admit the part the Dems play is part of the problem as well. We can't keep doing the same thing we've always done, and if we don't learn from this we are truly doomed.

I agree, and the part of that paragraph you didn't quote says pretty much the same thing.

Maybe contact an immigration specialist in your country of interest?

The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home.

What kind of psycho puts the bag in their pocket? /s

With all the pointy bits and pieces in my coat pockets I'd end up with bits, pieces, and coat pocket covered in dog shit.

What's so weird to me is how Americans can just be "oh bother! The not fascist prodemocracy party lost. If only I would care enough to do something, oh well better luck next time." why aren't you guys screaming?

Trump's relationship with Putin is going to change the current world order. You know the world? It's where the US is?

If that's too abstract, then look at the remaining SCOTUS judges. With Trump in the Whitehouse then Alito and Thomas can step down and be replaced with more Gen Xers ensuring right-wing dominance for the next 30 years. Repealing Roe v Wade is going to be dwarfed by the what's coming now.

Harris wasn't ideal. Harris was as interesting as a corporate newsletter. But at least she wasn't a threat to democracies worldwide. Harris would have meant less injustice, but not "no injustice". But because people couldn't get no injustice, they stayed home and got 20x the injustice they would have gotten otherwise. And now they're justifying that? GTFO!

The US political system is broken. But it's broken deliberately by one side to suit them, while the other side is too busy blaming each other for their own common failures to do anything.

Thanks for enabling Trump you ginormous ass hat. I will remember your entitled self righteous indignation when Ukraine falls. When Trump talks about eradicating the Palestinian people. And when Russia starts taking small bites of NATO countries, while Trump refuses to respond to article 5 requests.

Sending a message to the democratic party was something you could have done before the election. By getting involved. But noooo let's send the message by handing the US to a fascist and convicted felon, that's far easier.

Edit: I just saw the .ml now. Good one tankie, you got me all riled up. I believe you can now collect a kopek from your boss for your trouble.

Both candidates supports Israel's genocide. If people didn't bother to vote because of that then fuck them all. I hope they enjoy Trump.

Why? More than 50% of US voters just elected a convicted felon and rapist. Using the politicians' utterances against them is not going to do anything.

Did she win? No? Then it doesn't fucking matter!

What? Should she be getting a participation trophy? Sorry, I can't hear you over how Ukraine is being annexed by Russia.

  1. Find a laptop you like
  2. Go to https://libreboot.org/docs/install/#laptops-intel-x86
  3. See that it's not on the list
  4. GOTO 1, 5 times
  5. Start to notice what manufacturers have most laptops on the list.
  6. Find the most recent model of laptop from one of those manufacturers.

How are the Puerto Ricans represented in congress? Because not being able to vote for the executive branch is beginning to smell like taxation without representation.

 

As the title states really. I need to refer to this diverse group of people, who somehow have gotten put in the same box labeled "sexual minorites".

I'm a boring CISHET vanilla white male, so I don't really know. I want to include as many as I can when I refer to "lgbtq+ people". I've been studying various flags, trying to find the one flag I need. But I can't really figure it out.

Is lgbtq+ the preferred term, or what should I use? Is a flag better? I don't want to hurt someone by not including them.

 

Questions:

  • Can you test 450V high ripple current caps with a any old desktop RCL meter?
  • Has digikey shipped me faulty units?

Background:

I've gotten a couple of 660uF (not a typo, it's some weird high ripple current caps for an outdoor AC unit) 450V caps to replace some that I decided were duds. Normally I only measure components when troubleshooting, but this being 20USD with vat devices I thought "what the heck, I better".

The caps in question are chemi-con EKHJ451VSN661MA59M https://www.digikey.dk/en/products/detail/chemi-con/EKHJ451VSN661MA59M/17728502.

Method:

I'm using a Phillips PM6303A, which is a 1kHz RCL meter. Ambiant temp is approx 15°C. The caps have a 20% tolerance, so capacity should be >528uF, but when measuring both caps settle at approx 450uF after a little while. After 16hours it hasn't deviated for the one cap I've left in over night. The dissipation factor, tan(δ), settled at 0.57, while the datasheet states that it shall be no greater than 0.2.

For comparison, the caps I thought was faulty, have been running for about 20years, with the same specs, but came out to 550uF and 0.3, and as the spec said 0.2 I decided to change them.

 

Solution: @DJPhil@discuss.tchncs.de has made some really insightful comments below, which are really useful. ~~If you just want the cap you can set the parametric searches for 660uF, or in September 2023 I've found that digikey stock(s/ed) chemi-con EKHJ451VSN661MA59M~~.

Update 2: Turns out that EKHJ451VSN661MA59M is not the ordering code you'll want. That would be EKHJ451LIN661MA59M which returns 0 results when you Google it, or maybe a single result in a few days linking to this thread. So it looks like you'd be better off just getting some 680uF with blade snapins instead and retrofitting the board if possible. Just make sure it can handle the ripple current. Always check ordering codes twice my friends!

Original post

I need help identifying the terminals on some strange caps found in an AC inverter main board. The reason I state the AC part, is that the only other mention I've found of this layout, was a question on digikeys forum regarding an AC inverter https://forum.digikey.com/t/can-t-find-the-right-terminals-for-a-capacitor/19332 The capacitor in question has the same measurements as the one in the link.

In my picture on the right you can see the layout of the terminals, there's room for three caps, but only two was mounted, hence the relatively clean pads. On the left is one of the two caps in question. It says nichicon LQ(K), 85°C. Nichicon has discontinued the LQ-series, and the datasheet doesn't mention a 660µF variant. I don't know what fujitsu did to get caps with capacitance outside the E24 series.

Question: What is the name of this type of terminals? And more importantly: where can you get 680µF 450V caps with them? I haven't found them on neither Farnell or RS-Online.

For the sake of people googling this in the future, the AC in question is a fujitsu AOYS09LDC and the board was marked K05CM-C-A(03).
