Here in the US, where as several have noted we don't speak English, it  is called a level.

[wkb]

"Waterpas" in Dutch

Isn't a leveler an apparatus to check if something level?
In the Netherlands there is a second official language (frisian) they call it a wetterpas. The glaspart with fluid is called a libelle.

Same as in Germany: "Libelle"

It would be an apparatus to make it level. Think (steam) iron vs ironer, or paste vs paster.

It can technically be either a level or leveler depending on use. If you use it to *measure object horizon position, it is a level tool. If you drag it across a pan filled with sand to *make sand plane even, it is a leveler.
Looking at the design and construction of this specific item, it is a level. Too cute to be a leveler.

To be on the level Stabila has always been my choice.

I've ordered a blue multimeter a 121gw. Seems to be well known on this forum.

I like it.

When it's made in the Far East then it's (hopefully) level.
When it's made in EU or US then it's leveler.
When it's made in Germany then it's levelest.

Does that also apply to toilet paper?

Should work....not tried.

Weird, sorry guys I test links and it works here in several browsers and in incognito mode. In any case it's a cheap and cheerful "100W" audio amp and it's super cheap like 18$ cdn

Your link worked for me.

Found some very 1980s mini speakers.
I don't expect super audio from these but I love the look, the little knob, the square speaker.
Inside it's pretty amazing too. Not what I expected, but then AIWA were a good brand.
edit: the audio is shockingly good. Like, no bass, sure, but you can hear it, the highs are all there, the mid-range is fine, they sound great.
Not at all what I thought when I saw them at Goodwill. I had some crappy powered speakers in the 1980s, they weren't like these!

I took advantage of the Black Friday deal on a Rigol MSO5074. It will be a Christmas gift from my wife. It will be a companion to my LeCroy WavePro 960 2 GHz scope, a great machine which lacks certain features that have become common in the two decades since it was manufactured. The Rigol will fill the gap with serial protocol decoding (including rarely found I²S which I will use), bode plots, logic analyzer, and a few other things. All those features imply a certain 'upgrade' to be made asap.

Out of curiosity, how much of a discount did you get?

[RAPo]

I've ordered a GW Instek GPP-4323 power supply/load with the LAN module

Its selling for $777 USD here in Canada ($1,055 CAD): https://www.rigolcanada.com/products/digital-oscilloscopes/mso5000/
There is no black friday deal I know of, its been on sale for a while.

I've helped a friend move out of his 10,000+ sq.ft. house this past week and boy does he own a lot of stuff He gave me a bunch of it too including this military generator:











It's been in his climate controlled garage for over 12 years.

I see what appears to be a diesel fuel stain on the side of it but the tank is empty

Perfect for an emergency really.

I would definitely get that set up and made to be usable.

It was a crazy week. I had only 4 hours of sleep each night since last Saturday 11 people came to help move yesterday alone!

He also gave me a mint pair of ADS L1530 speakers. The bottoms show practically no wear from a pair of speakers purchased in 1981 All of the original brochures, receipt, warranty card, and two sets of spare fuses in ADS baggies:







I can't walk through my house with all of the boxes of stuff that he gave me

Nice! You have an idea of how much these are worth these days, right?
(Hint: thank him and take good care of them.)

I've ordered a fnirsi DMT-99.
