Sorry, OT. But absolutely hilarious. Barra and Biden look like fools.
Meantime, Tesla sold more than 300,000 EVs in Q4 2021.
But this is also bad for EVs and gives EVs a bad rap in the eyes of the American people.

They've recently increased starting pay for security guards--which are employed through a contractor, Allied Universal, by about 5.25 for an hourly rate of 17.25 and also seem to be aggressively seeking out new hires for GM hourly production workers, where I believe the starting pay is roughly the same. I believe that they've waived the GM line test for new hires as well, though I'm not certain.
Anyway, just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who is having a tough time finding employment at this time.
I need to change the direction of a stepper motor, I know that the wiring is connected to the A+, A-, B+, and B-. My question is which of these am I supposed to swap to make the motor switch and rotate in the opposite direction.
Example 1: Swap A- with B-
Example 2: Swap A+ with B+
Example 3: Swap A+ with A-
Example 4: Swap B+ with B-
BTW: this question is directed to stepper motors in general not just creality steppers. I know most of us see videos of people swapping the middle two wires but not all stepper manufacturers wire their As and Bs in the same order. Also I have to do this physically I can't do it via software, its a special circumstance that just requires this to be physical.
Below are just some examples of what I mean when I refer to A+ A- B+ B- they also known as A1 A2 B1 B2

Star Wars rebels had a lot of potential. It would have been better to keep it until Luke joined the party: At the beginning I didn't like the idea of Star Wars Rebels but I rescue some stuff like Kanan's point of view of order 66 and how the people was pissed off about the taxes that used to be charged by the Empire. When they mentioned that they were little rebel cells across the Galaxy it was good because it was escalating that little conflict into something massive. The size of the conflict of the Civil War has never been exposed in movies. Not like prequels did with their movies or Clone Wars so Rebels reaching those scales would have been interesting to see. Also it would have been interesting to see the PT planets under Empire rule. A good example would be Emperial Coruscant. Sadly it didn't reach to the point. Lets see if Disney revives that show as they did with The Clone Wars.
Kylo had potential. He could have been portrayed as a Darth Vader fanboy because he actually had a twisted vision of balance. Technically Anakin brought balance by equalizing the numbers of Siths and Jedis. This not only could have given a reason to Luke to surrender(to keep the balance brought by his father) but also a better motivation to Kylo(let´s say that his conclusion was to wipe out the Jedi order in order to keep a equal number of light and dark side users in the force) itself that turn the prequel trilogy more important to what was after the original trilogy.
Disney could have used Finn, Phasma and Hux to portray the other side of the empire: The First Order kidnapping kids was lame. It would have been better to give a credible motivation to those characters to restablish the Empire. Like the idea that many planets fell under local warlords and space pirates.
Using Darth Plagueis as the final boss. Sure that Disney retconned Anakin's origin or Anakin has never been created by Darth Plagueis. But Anakin as a failed experiment of Plagueis and Plagueis set as the fuel that started the drama of the Skywalker family make him the best final boss to finish a trilogy that was sold the end of the Skywalker saga. This could also explain how he managed to be hidden all these years. Being hidding from Darth Sidious. Now that he was dead he can operate in the shadows.
You may ask? Which is the relation between this thread and 1999-2012 era? Well. In my perspective the Lucasfilm era of 2012-2017 really wanted to wipe out a lot of stuff related to the 1999-2012 era. Maybe b

I like Cloud Atlas, Jupiters Ascending is one of the most mediocre films I've ever seen. Sense 8 I couldn't get into. Considering the Wachowskis haven't had the best track record why were people excited for more matrix by them? I don't get it. As a person who doesn't like the sequels I stopped giving a shit so I was more apathetic towards Resserections I thought it was better narratively but still suffers from being convoluted and underdeveloped ideas. But I digress considering the Wachowskis track record why you even excited?
I'm trying to come up with an alternate solution for building the /r/OpenAstroTech OpenAstroTracker (GitHub page here with firmware and such).
The main recommendation is to buy the MKS Gen-L v1, v2.0, or v2.1 boards so stepper drivers are plug-and-play on the board, no soldering. They're constructed with an integrated ATMega2560 chip. But getting these boards can be problematic. It seems AliExpress is nearly the only one with them available, and they can take over a month to ship from overseas. Not only am I hoping to avoid buying directly from China, I'm also hoping there are some alternatives out there that might be more-readily-available from US sellers, or even stores like Micro Center. The alternative is to use an Arduino Mega 2560 + RAMPS 1.4 board, which ends up being a bit bulky.
So, my question revolves around what a suitable substitute would be for the MKS Gen-L boards, with their integrated ATMega2560 MC. I happen to have an RPi Pico sitting around. Could I sub this in for the MKS board, assuming I have enough I/O pins? Or would it cause timing issues due to the increased clock speed? Are all Arduino-compatible boards relatively-interchangeable in that sense?
