@Morty_ - I have a problem with your caption "+8VDC 20mA 180Ohms"“Uh yes, I’ll have 1 murder to go, please. Hold the shell casings.”
You can probably tell that I am an electronics nerd. I have been since I was 12, when I got a hold of one of those RadioShack kits.Yep. I’m a retired TelCo POTS repair tech. I am more than familiar with Ohm’s Law, yet these were the benchmark readings that were round about values to look for, and were easy for a 20yo trainee to remember back in the 1990s when Landlines were still booming buisness.
Footage imbalances, high resistance opens, series-parallel, parallel-series circuits, load coils, corrosion, dead side legs, non-standard wire, line voltage induction, DIY morons, novelty telephone sets and vermin make for an imperfect world.
My caption relates to an Off-Hook condition, and was meant to be a subtle indication that I had taken a break from the content of this site because it was getting overwhelming, and hardening me as a member of society.
Plus, there’s also this:
Awww, Dude ! I miss Radio Shack !You can probably tell that I am an electronics nerd. I have been since I was 12, when I got a hold of one of those RadioShack kits.
I did the crystal radio thing, too. Mine worked but not good enough to be of any practical use. Now I order my electronic boards and components online. It's actually much better than RadioShack, but I miss it, too. No, the mnemonic device would confuse me, but I played with resistors for almost my whole life so I remember the colors.Awww, Dude ! I miss Radio Shack !
I had a Crystal Radio Kit when I was about that age. Thing never worked though.
Do you have a mnemonic for resister band colors ?
