for some reason the concept of an "assault trumpet" is incredibly amusing to me

looks like AMD makes a better 580 than nvidia by far

yes, newegg, that is generally how these things work

someone said something before about what this sort of network activity means, but we can't recall what the word was

introducing: the Lag Sheep

it's just a perfectly ordinary sheep, except for some inexplicable reason this single sheep causes inordinate amounts of lag

Oh also full size version

art is still by @fluxom_art, it didn't change artists in the last five minutes or anything

i just have a lot of weird opinions on the aesthetics of electronic components

like look at the sot-23-3 package? it's just so *good*

so we're supposed to be doing isolation stuff right

and if you compare this to the not extremely precise ones (but still pretty precise!) in the same package and same resistance... $11.40 gets you five *thousand* of these, for less than the cost of *one* of the ultra-precise Vishay ones

when you think about the economics of electronic components it can feel a little weird

$11.62 for an extremely precisely cut and packaged piece of very thin aluminum foil, only a few milligrams of metal in the thing (0805 resistors typically weigh 5 grams per thousand, counting the plastic part)

the price of these is almost 100% cost of manufacture. the cost of materials, even using highly-purified aluminum and copper, is minuscule

i am amused that digikey has an "Accessories" section in almost every category

I looked in this one and it's all mounting hardware for chassis-mount power resistors, which makes sense

you just don't think about "resistor accessories" much

the sprites you get mid-pokeball-exiting in gen 1 are really something

i'm sure someone has done this joke before but: met-roid

if your main school of magic in Master of Magic (a seminal, and still very good, fantasy 4X from the 90s) is Nature, you get this little snake friend on all your notifications

steam doesn't seem to know what it's doing

i feel like there's a problem with this installer

this is a bit of a graphic design failure

look at this little thing i need it
