Nope, same problem as linear. Can you get angle correct to 4 decimal places and prevent the contact from oxidation?

"Digital potentiometers" are rotary encoders, which are switches, not resistive dividers. They are a useful input device for a microcontroller but not in an analog circuit.

Another option is a multi-pole rotary switch with selectable resistors in each position, but that only gives you the available values.

They are all larger and more expensive. Just use two E12 resistors in parallel or series, you can always get within 1 %. They cost a dime a dozen. The series was made for such combinations – did you know that 180 Ω and 220 Ω in parallel gives 99 Ω, a value useful for 1/100 dividers?

The least reliable resistor. Not to mention the trial-and-error getting it close enough to the target value.

E192 resistors are expensive. E6 resistors 6.8Ω and 68Ω in parallel, available pretty much everywhere components are sold, result in 6.1818 Ω, which is within 0.05 % of the target, around the edge of what you can achieve without active temperature compensation.

I think our country is headed in the right direction, just very slowly. Gay marriage and abortion rights have been stuck in an awkward position for years but I believe we'll get there.

Yup, the name change is tied to gender: you can't have a traditional Czech female name as an official male and vice versa, and there are no gender-neutral ones (our language is very gendered and nobody has developed a neutral framework that more than a handful of people would use). Transgender people would try to register diminutives Péťa (Petr/Petra) or Míša (Micha(e)l/Michaela) but end up needing an extra psychologist's note for them. Only foreign gender-neutral diminutives such as Alex (Alexander/Alexandra) that had a history of being registered by either gender would be easy to obtain.

It's still fucked up that the year is meant to "test-drive" the gender but one still has to use their AGAB-gendered name in all but informal communications. And wigs are forbidden on ID card photos, of course.

Yup, Czechia is the preferred name, but either can be used. Inside the country, it's like 5% pro-short-name, 5% pro-long-name, 30% don't speak English, and 60% don't care.

We use "Česko" all the time even though it's "Česká republika" (ČR) in all official documents. The historical lands (Bohemia, Moravia, part of Silesia) have nice short names already but "Czech" was a nationality before it was a country, which is why putting it in line with the others feels off. (Yes, there was a country that encompassed all of Czech Republic and more, called Království české (Kingdom of Bohemia) but Moravians didn't complain because české means either Bohemian or Czech in Czech.)

Unfortunately, some signatures will be invalidated because people make mistakes or are assholes so it's best to aim for 120%.

Judging from the context, allowing one's chest to be used as a pillow.

It's a loose fit, okay? Just a company that has "profi" and "cis" in its name, so no more pride flags in a professional setting. Not deeper than that.

As Pride Month ends, companies are abandoning colorful stripes. Yes, it's not very fitting but there isn't a company called Sad Trans CZ, okay?

 

Today's news told in names of two Czech companies.
Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one "only" needs 2 doctors' recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

Probably a habit from the dark ages: there is an entire generation (15 years if you were rich in 1998 and poor in 2013) of phones where SMS is the longest freeform text storage available, and only 1 draft can exist at a time, hence the sending.

The trademark isn't though. Still, I think you're clear if you only use or derive from public domain works AND clearly state that you're not affiliated with Disney.

 

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.

Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

When a little Czech girl becomes best friends with a carp who is destined to be her Christmas dinner, she must choose between tradition and her newfound friendship.

There are references to Cosy Dens, hallmark Czech Christmas movie set during the 1968 Prague Spring and Soviet invasion, as well as graduation films by their classmates. Definitely watch them!
