Lick her is quicker still.
Agreed ;-)
And, getting back on-topic, nothing like some good sex to relieve
anxiety ;-)

Of course not. You're happy to have an excuse to crack out that thermal
imager. That thing is your personal anti-depressant for fried baords. Come
to think of it you probably slipped on purpose.

Who was it that said: 'I want the power to change the things I can change,
the patience to endure the things I can't change, and the wisdom to
discriminate one from the other.' It was something along these lines, only
phrased better.
I like that attitude, but it requires the ability of not *wanting* to notice
the problems that you've labeled insolvable. This leads to the situation
that if too many people live by those rules they'll never manage to change
things that can only be changed collectively, because each individual has
already decided for themselves that being concerned with those problems is
futile.
What gets on Bill's nerves (and causes him to get on ours, in return), is
the attitude of ignoring the obvious (or only paying attention long enough
to toss it into the "unsolvable" bin and forgetting about it).
That's not a correct paraphrase, IMO. Your attitude is better described by
saying that you prefer to be ignorant about the things that don't affect you
or that you can't change. Selective stupidity is the key to happiness (as
is, by the way, complete stupidity). Complete enlightenment, on the other
hand, is the key to depression. I'm trying to find some middle road.
Do pay attention. That bit of doom and gloom was fairly specific -
Scut bunny ?

I believe that the topic was shortage of TI / Burr-Brown parts. Other thanThis discussion *is* on topic, because electronic design is an
emotional process and bummed out people are rotten electronics
designers. You can exercise and train your temperament just as you can
exercise and train your body, or your dog.

I believe that the topic was shortage of TI / Burr-Brown parts. Other than
scolding me for sourcing parts which have no second source (not true), you
guys gave hijacked this thread and morphed it into a mutual adoration society
chat room. Nice work. The conversation is interesting and I have learned few
things but not what I really wanted to know.
Does anyone have any idea on why have the INA series of analog parts from
Texas Instruments became hard to get? Has the unobtanium mine flooded or has
some old fart who does all the testing in the back room died?
It's always good to learn things you didn't want to know. So show a
little gratitude.
Were any Burr-Brown related posts crowded out?
And it was Sloman who forked the thread with his usual rote, gloomy
Anti-American stuff. Here is the fork:

More likely the economy is doing so well that demand has outstripped
supply.
The collapse of the U.S. housing market should solve the problem
fairly quickly, but if it affects you directly, you may become part of
the solution ....
Strikes me as entirely on-topic - Stephan Goldstein's input on the
25th March is much more likely to be right, but it struck me as a
plausible explanation at the time.

When I was 16 years old, I figured out that it felt better to be happy
than to be depressed. It didn't take too much longer to figure out
*how* to be happy,
If I had a scut bunny, I could goof off a lot more. I'm looking for
one now.
