DESCRIPTION:The LM317 voltage regulator holds a steady output no matter how
  noisy its input — because it regulates against an internal reference\, 
 not the supply rail. Most engineers do the opposite: our self-worth tracks
  external inputs — reviews\, promotions\, applause — and browns out wh
 en they dip. This talk reads the datasheet as a psychology textbook: inter
 nal reference voltages\, minimum load requirements (rest counts)\, and the
 rmal shutdown as a feature\, not a failure. You'll leave with a schematic 
 for self-worth that doesn't collapse when the input does. Soldering iron o
 ptional.
