What’s the German word for waffle stomp? I‘m at a party trying to translate for a few German colleagues.

Irving energy is now charging $39.99/year for the propane tanks that have been sitting in our backyards for years. They claim to have notified customers already, but I found out about it first today while paying for a delivery.

This is likely the motivation to switch companies. I would prefer to have them buried rather than staring at them from my porch. However I find myself a bit irked… it doesn’t seem legal for a company to essentially sign you up for a subscription fee. Is it?

I am having difficulty getting an initial debug session going with a NUCLEO-H7S3L8 with VS Code.

In examples I have found, the launch.json has the "svdPath“: configuration pointing at the STM32H7S.svd file. When I look in the folder drivers/CMSIS/Device/ST/STM32H7RSxx/Include I don’t have any svd files. Am I supposed to download svd from somewhere or create them with STM32CubeMX somehow?

My wife nearly fell for a scam. Not sure what the next steps should be. Long story short, her work computer was hacked somehow. Started with her calling the "support number". Ended 3 hours later with her trying to send a wire to "save“ our money. She wasn’t able to do it because they told her to transfer $15k but we only had ~$3k in the account. She finally called me from the bank parking lot crying.

Unfortunately, she texted them pics of her drivers license and gave them her ss#. Can anyone provide advice on where to go now? Police report has been filed. All bank accounts now frozen.

Does anyone know of an example implementation of the biquad filter using fixed point? I‘ve tried bringing in coefficients as fi objects, as fixdt, recasting as double, bringing them in as column matrix or sos matrix. I can’t see to figure out what this simulink function block wants for inputs.

Hi! I have an acid neutralizer in my house that’s running low on calcite. It’s a Fleck 7000 if it matters. Where do I buy calcite? I’m having trouble finding it. Thanks!

We plan to move to Germany in the next 2 years. Is there any reason buying a new Ford Ranger would be a bad idea if we intend to ship it over when we go?

Hi! My 11-year old daughter received a Brother SE700 for her birthday. I’m really hoping for a crash course in supplies for the machine to help her get going!

She was also given a Simthread 63 box where all the spools are marked 120D/2. I believe this is 40wt… the Brother machine instructions say to use 60wt. I’ve been given conflicting information on this breaking the machine or being fine. If someone could say this is fine from experience, or point me to a starter set of thread colors, I would greatly appreciate it!

I’m also confused what I need for backing. She wants to make patches and add designs to her jeans.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, sorry for the really basic question. My daughter (11) got a SE700 for her birthday (today). I have absolutely no experience with sewing or embroidery. The machine instructions say to use 60 weight embroidery thread. She was also given a Simtread kit with all the spools marked 120D/2. Does this mean 60 weight?

I have a Godzilla machine that I purchased for home use in the US a few years ago. I want to ship it to my apartment in Germany, but I see warnings on the website that it doesn’t work off 50 Hz power.

Anyone know what the specific issue is?

My wife is born in Germany. She has both German and US citizenship. We have children under the age of 18 who have both German and US citizenship.

I held an Aufenhaltstitel last year but I have been in the US for 9 months.

We own property in both countries and could live in either.

I speak German well enough.

I do have German ancestry. I would not know how to go about proving it.

Do I have a path to dual citizenship?

Hey, I have a 2016 Cruze and 2017 Trax, both have check engine lights this week. What’s the recommended scan tool?
