In general, any electrical work in QLD must be done by an electrician or someone with a restricted ticket.
Now, there are IEC plug (male) to 3 pin socket adapters for use with a UPS as some of them have IEC outlets.
You can use one of those in conjunction with a conventional power board.
EDIT:
Search eBay for "iec male 3 pin socket" and you'll see the little adapter cables I'm talking about.
I have a few different types at work and home, but the Duratool D01022 from Element 14 is quite nice to use.
A bit expensive at full price ($75 + GST) but they do come on special occasionally, sometimes nearly 50% off.
I turned off about 20 minutes into Another Life as I found the characters (especially the lead) annoying.
Only watched two eps of The Boys so far. It's ok, but would be better with some of the slow bits removed.
I still repair electronics at board level, but there is certainly less demand for it these days. If you did get into electronics repair as a job, you'd need to be skilled in working on equipment that people want to spend money on. This is often specialised equipment with little to no data available. Not something you would find easy coming from a hobby experience level.
My point was that you should do the test that is sent to you, not bin it due to embarrassment. If your family has a history of [insert disease here] then proactively getting extra testing would be good too.
Once you hit 50, you get sent a home test kit for bowel cancer screening every 2 years. If you get one of these sent to you, don't balk at doing it as it's easy and painless.
Oh sure, I have no problem when it's relevant to the process involved. Those questions do turn up in the oddest of places though.
I saw it on the online form for reporting a dangerous driver. WTF has the person's race got to do with that?
There are knob heads riding bikes and there are knob heads driving cars. Hell, there are knob head pedestrians too! There are also people who don't ride / drive / walk like knob heads.
The driver in the OP's video is a class 1 idiot. What he did was not funny. Maybe his brain is fried from sucking on his own exhaust?
As a car driver, I personally find cyclists riding 2 or more abreast annoying. As a cyclist I stay single file when on the road. What's legal may not always be what's smart.
Your circuit looks a little convoluted, but the obvious issue I can see is the 10K pullups to +12V for the switches will be feeding into the J-Pac. Putting a diode in series with the 3 lines going to the J-Pac (anode towards the J-Pac) will stop that.
The other issue is you don't seem to have the required 100n (0.1uF) decoupling capacitor across the power for each IC. Leaving these out can lead to wildly unstable operation and possible damage.
So someone would have to guess (or find out) enough details for a service you have that uses speech recognition and you have provided a sample for. I'm not concerned for myself at all.
