Download or read book Here Hold My Beer written by VJ Dunn and published by HEA Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories that will break your funny bone and keep you in stitches...and you won't have to go to the ER! Humor/satire dad book about the dumb things that guys will sometimes do...you know, those decisions that usually start with a trip to the liquor store and end with a trip to the ER. Or to the police station. And almost always to the doghouse. These are "The fish was THIS BIG" stories that are sorta-kinda mostly true. You know those videos where men do things like balance a ladder on a stair railing, use a handcart in place of a spare tire, or light firecrackers and launch them at each others' crotches? Well, this is a compilation of stories such as those where some man somewhere has a moment of sheer stupidity and asks his friends to hold his beer while he tries to kill himself. So if you like to hear those "chill 'round the fire pit, guzzlin' six packs and spittin' tobacco at the flames" kind of stories, this book is for you. DISCLAIMER--Now, because we're dealing with good ol' boys who are common sense challenged and grew up watching Evel Knievel performing jaw-dropping gravity-defying stunts, I have to make the standard cover-our-butts-so-we-don't-get-sued statement: MEN--If you really think you should try some of the stunts in this book, you probably ought to consider finding a sensible woman to marry. Seriously. Or call yo mama before you hand over that beer, dude. WOMEN--If you are a sensible gal who is considering getting into a relationship with a man who has ever said, "Here, hold my beer" just before he tried any similar stunts to those in this book, you may want to call your mama and get some good advice. Or maybe just go out with the girls for a glass or three of wine and meet someone less inclined to life and limb endangerment. Otherwise, count on knowing 911 operators on a first-name basis and spending a lifetime sipping burned coffee out of cardboard cups, while squirming on hard plastic chairs next to sneezing snot-nosed kids and watching ridiculous talk shows in the ER waiting room. You. Have. Been. Warned.

Download or read book Bogatin s Practical Guide to Prototype Breadboard and PCB Design written by Eric Bogatin and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printed circuit boards (PCB) are at the heart of every electronic product manufactured today. Yet, engineers rarely learn to design PCBs from a class or course. They learn it by doing, by reading app notes, watching YouTube videos and sitting by the side of an experienced engineer. This book is the foundation building book for all engineers starting out to design PCBs. It teaches good habits designing a PCB, first for connectivity, and secondly, introduces the four most important principles to reduce noise. A seven-step process is presented: developing a plan of record, creating a Bill of Materials, completing the schematic, completing the layout, completing the assembly, conducting bring up and troubleshooting and documenting the project. Each step is developed in detail. In particular, the emphasis in this book is on risk management: what can be done at each step of the process to reduce the risk of a hard-error which requires a complete re-spin, or a soft error, which requires some sort of on-the-fly repair. After connectivity is designed, it’s important to develop good habits to minimize the potential noise from ground bounce, power rail stitching noise, stack up design and reducing switching noise in signal paths. These techniques apply to all designs from 2-layer to 8-layer and more, for bandwidths below 200 MHz. The best practices for manual lead-free soldering are presented so that everyone can become a soldering expert. The best measurement practices using common lab instruments such as the DMM, the constant current/constant voltage power supply, and oscilloscopes are presented so that common artifacts are minimized. Features in the design that help you find design or assembly errors quickly and the troubleshooting techniques to find and fix problems are introduced. Applying the habits presented in this book will help every engineer design their next circuit board faster, with less chance of an unexpected problem, with the lowest noise. This textbook will also have embedded videos to visually demonstrate many of the hands-on processes introduced in this book.

Book excerpt: “We are you—the you that you could have been.” The Anaden Directorate has ruled Amaranthe for millennia, subjugating species and galaxies in a neverending quest for control and order. For as many millennia, the anarchs have rebelled, defiantly claiming their own freedom yet without hope of winning it for everyone. Now, an alliance with humans offers a tantalizing chance to at last defeat their immortal masters. But can they trust an ally who looks suspiciously like the enemy? Humanity is the genetic recreation of the Anadens, but genetics aren’t everything. Humans like to make their own destiny, and they have overcome great challenges to achieve unprecedented peace and prosperity. But have their trials prepared them for the enemy they now face? “The battle for the heart and soul of Amaranthe will be joined, and we must be unafraid.” Amidst the chaos of an escalating war, Caleb’s bond with the mysterious diati grows ever more powerful, even as Alex’s forays into the hidden dimensions of the universe lead them to unfathomable places. But when the anarchs are pushed to the breaking point and the AEGIS fleet is dealt a devastating blow, Miriam Solovy must find a way to defeat a foe wielding superior technology, firepower and numbers, or else more than one civilization will be lost. * Our universe is but a snowglobe—an experiment born of desperation and hope. The true universe is unfathomably vast, teeming with life and untold wonders. And it is enslaved. Created by ancient aliens in a daring gambit to understand the nature of the enemy, humanity is now asked to be the savior of a universe not their own. If they are to succeed, they must rise above not only their fractious past but the sins of their genetic ancestors to boldly embrace a future they never dared imagine possible. *** AMARANTHE UNIVERSE: --------------------------------------- ~ AURORA RHAPSODY ~ (should be read in order) AURORA RISING TRILOGY #1: STARSHINE (Aurora Rising Book One) #2: VERTIGO (Aurora Rising Book Two) #3: TRANSCENDENCE (Aurora Rising Book Three) AURORA RENEGADES TRILOGY #4: SIDESPACE (Aurora Renegades Book One) #5: DISSONANCE (Aurora Renegades Book Two) #6: ABYSM (Aurora Renegades Book Three) AURORA RESONANT TRILOGY #7: RELATIVITY (Aurora Resonant Book One) #8: RUBICON (Aurora Resonant Book Two) #9: REQUIEM (Aurora Resonant Book Three) #10: SHORT STORIES OF AURORA RHAPSODY (can be read at any time) ~ ASTERION NOIR TRILOGY ~ (a new entry point for the series - can be read before Aurora Rhapsody) #11: EXIN EX MACHINA (Asterion Noir Book 1) #12: OF A DARKER VOID (Asterion Noir Book 2) #13: THE STARS LIKE GODS (Asterion Noir Book 3) ~ RIVEN WORLDS ~ (should be read after Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir) #14: CONTINUUM (Riven Worlds Book One) #15: INVERSION (Riven Worlds Book Two) #16: ECHO RIFT (Riven Worlds Book Three) #17: ALL OUR TOMORROWS (Riven Worlds Book Four) #18: CHAOTICA (Riven Worlds Book Five) #19: DUALITY (Riven Worlds Book Six) ~ COSMIC SHORES ~ (a new entry point for the series - each book can be read at any time and without reading any of the other books) #20: MEDUSA FALLING (A Cosmic Shores Novel) #21: THE THIEF (A Cosmic Shores Novel)

Book excerpt: Laura Webster appeared to have it all; stunning beauty, intelligence, wealth, privilege and a promising career as a photo journalist. Until the day her life changes dramatically. While on assignment in a working class district with her homosexual friend and colleague, David, they inadvertently wander into a bar and are set on by the sadistic Pete Radeki and his mates. Although David is badly beaten and Laura is nearly raped, two strangers come to their aid and beat off Pete's gang. Two days later, one of the men phones Laura to say he has her purse, dropped in her panic and would return it as he was coming her way due to his work. Thus she comes to meet Rob McCulloch, all feral good looks and animal magnetism. Although initially terrified of his biker's countenance, somehow she finds herself becoming angry with him and practically forces him into her house for coffee. This, in turn leads to another confrontation when her overbearing ex boyfriend; Don Stewart-Campbell, considered to be her social equal and unable to cope with her rejection, arrives unexpectedly and finds himself ordered out of her home. The next day, on her parents' advice, she calls Rob, expecting him to stand as a witness. His refusal stuns her, so, in a fit of anger, she confronts him in person. Another argument flares and she finds herself going on a date to teach him a lesson. From there, the relationship blossoms, even though Rob can and does drive Laura to distraction. However he manages to win over her friends and family with his easy charm and open personality. Yet, for all that, there are secrets in his past he won't divulge, not even at the urging of those who care for him. But other forces were at work. Don couldn't handle their burgeoning relationship, especially since Rob was so adept at humiliating him. He schemes and devises a sinister plot, hoping to capitalise on Laura's relative naivety in all things sordid. He almost succeeds, managing to have Laura arrested and publicly humiliated. But his attempts at playing her saviour are rejected when his boasting trips him up and he inadvertently reveals what he'd done. He finally realises that he'd lost her. But so great has his obsession grown that he decides that, if he can't have her, no one will. Rob must then win a desperate race against time to save the woman he loves from Pete's horrific vengeance.
