Then "choise" another regulator... There is no shortage of suitable regulators in spite of the inability of some people to find them.
If someone wants to limit themselves to unsuitable regulators, then it can be hard to help them with electronics design. Tim is willing to consider regulators with an enable, but he can't see to get past the limitations of the Digikey selection tool. I recommend starting with the TI tool on their web site. It's easier to find a part on their site that meets the requirements.
As an aside, that's an instance where a sarcastic twist on an old saw has taken over from the original meaning, which of course was,
"People who are sad or in trouble feel better if you go visit them."

I didn't see a smiley so I have to assume you are serious. That's not what it means. It means we find it hard to be sympathetic when we are miserable and have little pity for others. Or, seeing others as miserable as ourselves makes us feel better.
I heard a report on the radio the other day that essentially said this. We don't measure our life situation in absolute terms, rather in relative terms compared to those around us.
That's what it means _now_, which is my point. It originally wasn't nasty or sarcastic at all.

I think it accounts for political differences too.
"The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction." --Alexis de Tocqueville
But I measure my life in absolute terms, not against what others have. If I'm warm, with enough to eat, I'm happy! And when I do measure against others, I find tremendous bounty in what others scorn--
the poorest American can buy strawberries out of season, bananas from Honduras, kiwis from God knows where, has a car, an air conditioner, a cell phone, and a TV. 100 years ago, no king had any of those.
Too many people worry not that they have enough, but that someone else has more.

Mo and I were sitting at a table near the window of our neighborhood French restaurant snacking on beer and oysters and cassoulet (I'm eating the leftover cassoulet this instant... it holds up nicely) and we noted that the entire population of the planet could live like this, if people weren't such jerks.
The average person in a developed country does live better than Henry
8th or Louis 14th. I bet the beer and wine at 7-11 is better than anything they had.

How would that work exactly? How are you going to pay the person who collects your garbage or serves you those oysters the same as what you make? Sounds very socialistic to me.
Why are we wealthier than the cavemen? We both started with the same raw materials (and in fact they had them arguably greater abundance, since none of them had been used). So why?
The answer lies in our accumulated knowledge, and our codes of conduct, with the latter a /sine qua non/ for the former.
But socialistic codes of conduct have a poor history for creating wealth. Rather, they prey on wealth once it exists, dragging it down.
"There is in fact a manly and legitimate passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom."
--Alexis de Tocqueville, Ancien Regime and the Revolution
You're whetting my appetite... time to re-read de Tocqueville, Mill, Rousseau and Burke.

Kings didn't actually live comfortably. They lived impressively, which isn' t necessarily the same thing.
You've not only got enough to eat, but somebody else cooked it for you.
Everybody he entire planet could have enough to eat, but it would require a more complicated political re-organisation than is implied by "if people w eren't such jerks". Having somebody else cook the food for everybody on the planet would be a little more complicated.
Henry the 8th seems to have die from complications of obesity - like many A mericans today. Medical science may manage the complications better today, but it hasn't solved the problem of people eating themselves to death.
Louis the 14th lived a very public life - even his getting out bed in the m orning was a choreographed ceremony.
The wine he drank was probably as good as anything you can buy today - a lo t of the wine sold to the palace would have been rubbish, but the royal cat erers would have passed off all but the very best to lesser dignitaries.
7-11 doesn't stock the high quality wines that I drink, and it certainly do esn't stock the wines from the vineyards that were famously good back in He nry the 14th's day, and still command premium prices today, if you can find a wine merchant who stocks them.
"Living like a king" is one of those sayings that doesn't bear much examina tion. Kings still get assassinated - though less often than they used to.

Actually, raw 6.8 volt Zeners pretty much rule in terms of voltage
tempco, so they don't suck as much as you claim.

Au contraire.
Instead of just flapping your gums, as usual, why don't you state what
technical quarrels you have with a 6.8 volt Zener diode, properly
biased, having close to zero TC?
