Ever hear of the #CloudAppreciationSociety?
Yes, seriously! It's a space for artists, scientists, #cloud spotters, and dreamers, who love to share #sky photos. They also provide quality materials for classroom and educational uses. Super cool!
Anyhow, I've been a member for a few decades now... and I have a sneaky feeling some of my fellow Fediverse peeps might also dig it. Enjoy, fellow #clouds enthusiasts!

"Oh Hallo! Hier, ein leckeres Schnäppschen für zwischendurch? Oder ein Weinbrand? Wir haben auch was mit Pfefferminze, da riecht man den Alkohol nicht so sehr, falls du gleich noch Termine hast. Und guck mal, das kann sich jeder leisten!
Wie, du hast ein "Alkoholproblem" und kämpfst mit deiner "Sucht"? Ach komm, so schlimm ist das doch nicht! Nur ein Schnäppschen! Du stehst direkt davor, während du vor der Kasse warten musst. Zier dich nicht so und greif zu!"
Rewe, wir müssen reden! Muss das wirklich sein? Ich meine, du gibt dich ja auch sonst so fortschrittlich und unterstützt gesellschaftliche Vielfalt und machst auf umweltfreundlich. DANN RÄUME AUCH GEFÄLLIGST DEN SCHEISS ALK AUS DEM KASSENBEREICH!
Es ist ganz einfach: ALLE (legalen) Drogen gehören in Fachgeschäften verkauft. Nicht in Supermärkten, nicht in Tankstellen und auch nicht an Kioske.
Die Alkoholabteilung unseres Rewe nimmt mit Wein, Sekt und der enormen Vielfalt an harten Sachen eine *riesige* Fläche ein.

Alguén ten algunha idea do valor desta resistencia?
As cores xa non se aprecian moi ben.
#repaircafe
#lavadora
#fagor
EDITADO: Xa atopei varios sitios onde aparece unha resistencia de 100 ohmios, así que polo de agora queda aclarado. Unha placa nova custa entre 80 e 150€, polo que vin pola rede. Veremos se fago o apaño cunha resistencia duns céntimos de euro (non debería custar máis). Estaba pensando nunha vitrificada máis robusta, pero parece que esa resistencia fai tamén de fusible.
Isto merecía unha redacción un pouco máis extensa:

Non podemos esquecer que a solución da lavadora era provisional!
Seguimos a traballar na solución definitiva.
Nova fonte de alimentación, máis axeitada, pero de 15 voltios. Necesita un pequeno apaño para obter 16 voltios.
