Ouch! To my defense, last week I fired up the prototype with the final (sort of) power supply setup and it worked fine functionally. Haven't had time to do any serious measurements though.
I'm also going to move house early September so that starts to interfere.
I really do need those 3k years!

No ouch intended. Only that you do come up with things that are of benefit to many here and elsewhere and a differential probe that can work with high voltage would certainly be appreciated . . . . very likely by more than a few.
When I made the joke, I had no idea you'd already started it. It's good news !

Do you really believe you could live 3000 years without some spiritual way of life that might actually remove most of your wishes?You need to allow yourself to live a long life in the first place...What would be your priority in a 3000 years life?Would you start with studying mathematics physics and chemistry or painting , playing chess and music or all together and why?What's to be earned if you know you can already live 3000 years?Why would you do anything at all instead of just admiring the world.There's the doer and there's the observer...and then there's Scroedinger's cat...Which of them do you want to live with, the dead one or the one that's alive?

I thought of this movie when I came across this topic. Great movie for a thinking person. About a Cro-Magnon caveman who has secretly survived for more than 14,000 years, introduced in the move as a retiring university professor.
It is declining so fast than rhe worldwide population is increasing even faster....that is life. Nehandertals from the west were swapped by the Easr and South homoSapians.
Louvre Museum will be a sort of Lascaux cave in 3000 years and Congress bibliothec will be full of Diyaudio pages about cables stories for archeologians.

Big brother and the alike? But that would be only for the first 1000 years... Then it will be nice!
Why I wouldn't want to live forever?
Because I hate lies.
I'm lived my better half of my life in the communist era.
Why it was better?
Answer is simple: because I was young.
A little bit more complicated answer:
That was a lying world in its own easy way, everyone with a little conscience knew this fact.
It is what we live in now, it is in a much less obvious way, but a much more lying world.
There are brainwashing everywhere.
Most of the people don't need it, because they don't have a brain at all.

Yes, of course!
Professional help was the only advice to consume more and more Xanax.
But that can't resolve problems.
Also, there will be no less lie because of this.

But you can still live your life as you think it should be lived. Spread some happiness around you. You can't save the whole world but that is no reason not to save a few around you.
And the beauty of a long life is that you can do that for a long time.

Yeah, you are right, Jan!
I would like to live as long as I can.
And I will live this life according to my standard, herited from my parents, grandparents and so one.
Lying wasn't my heritage.
Altough I have a quite long nose. 😉

I agree, I do see this constant lying behaviour too. I’ve resigned myself to it being a permanent part of society, virtually everywhere. I am guessing it is human nature, people try to gain an advantage and most people are willing to believe what they are told despite no evidence. And it is the cause of much conflict.
If we live longer, will will become more discerning? Could more learning and education over a looong period of time improve this ?
OK, realism doesn't hurt... hopefully! The truth is that humanity had more than enough time to overcome weakness alas facts do not support that a long lifespan would de facto made us all philosophers... A lot of people came by with muscular atrophy as a result of the corona lockdown. Young people who spent 9 months watching youtube! Sad! I know some who could easily spend 3000 years chatting on facebook... Still not a reason for me to hate humankind. I'm a human too, I can't simply part my species!
A couple of years ago, I've read about an experiment carried out in Germany. A number of individuals would be given a salary on top of any other income without many questions. They just wanted to see how the money would be spent. Buy books, travel or simply quit job? I don't know what happened.
