ahhh yes, I too have released the "magic smoke"....

 

I had a coworker who would give us trouble at lunch time: "Hey, did someone just blow a chip?" "Nah, that's Harry's lunch!" "Oh."

Haha nice. Unlike the smell when a component fries.... !!

 

Here, the young LM358 nervously awaits while the older 741 op-amp mulls over his negative feedback

 

"Two atoms, a male and a female, are sitting in a car...."

Sounds like the start of a joke,but leaving the ion on at home isn't!

 

Electron/positron next time?

Fat joke about duterium?

Those aren't so much electronics as general science though...

 

I tend to do the odd not-strictly-electronics-biased cartoon, so you never know

 

Fairly self-explanatory, this one.

Woo-woo! Toot toot!

 

Back in the daze, I mean, days, where everyone was like, chilled out y'know....

 

I take it they're smoking some good arsenic there?

 

@magnet18: I reckon! Not sure what they had from the bottle though

Number 19... switch bouncing, of course!

 

Heh, nice one...

 

In my younger days we used to make the annual pilgrimage to the Dayton Hamvention. I always wanted to wear His & Hers T-shirts for me and my girlfriend. One would say "Hardware" with circuit schematics and the other would be "Software" with program code.

 

Y'know that would have been kinda cool. Would she have worn hers, do you think? My wife wouldn't - she'd just roll her eyes LOL

 

This could almost be part of a Corrs song LOL.

Really though, when two transistors start getting all hot 'n' steamy....!!

 

This is one of my young daughter's favourites, she likes the way the little components are holding hands

 

Look in Radio and Communications for "DIY 802.11g WiFi Antennas will not function" and see what veryatlantic called bertus and beenthere.

Now that's material for humor!

 

I don't think veryatlantic will be selected for any diplomatic posts in the forseeable future.

 

From the "DIY 802.11g WiFi Antennas will not function" in the Radio
and Communications section.

and asking everybody else to politely not reply at all. Fair enough?

Wish granted, you're welcome.

 

I see what you mean! Wow, that's quite an attitude
