When using arduino-cli on esp32 chips I use this script to reset the processor without causing the USB port number to change. This can be very handy, for example the script is named espreset:

espreset; tail -f /dev/ttyACM0

I have no clever caption for this, I just like it. Late 50’s/early 60’s, MiG21’s in the sky above, a housewife doll hangs laundry and smoking a cigarette looks up through her cat-eye sunglasses.

Late 60’s Rootes Group sedan, probably an Arrow but the only badge on them in the US simply said Rootes. The following year it was imported as the Plymouth Cricket though the body changed quite a lot and it wasn’t the same car.

Hammy the Hamster, tales from the riverside - 1960

Very low production value, often a poor hamster was placed on a board and shoved out into the river current while the narrator went on about the big adventure he’s having.

Originally Canadian I think.

I guess it’s time for this again. Energy footprint per capita, by country, coded for standard of living and with a bar at the level required to maintain 1.5ºc rise. There is no way out of this without lifestyle change - voluntary or otherwise.

This is the finished rig. It will drop into the tote in place of two of the four lead-acid batteries when they’re replaced with one LiFeP04. It’s completely self contained.
