i love my friends 💚 -F

@Austin_Dern the history of calendars sounds like an interesting topic but yeah i can't excuse the fact that they're written by someone named duncan
-F

@jadekintsugi you doing okay? yeah, haven't seen you here in a long time, i don't even remember what this is replying to
-F

@heatherhorns this was in like the 19th century

@heatherhorns there were once houses (i don't know if any remain) inside of mammoth cave
-F

@heatherhorns caves with mostly flat floors do happen, usually a result of sediment carried in by groundwater, and further flattened if a large animal like a bear lives in it

@packbat i can't blame them though, it makes for some great sauces. we should probably try some that we haven't tried before next time we go to the grocery store, iwrc the international section is pretty well-stocked at the one we go to
-F

@packbat A surprising number of east asian sauces are based on either soy sauce or fish sauce!
-F

@SirFhinger@meow.social we're from the south, trust me when i say we know how to appreciate a good barbecue sauce
-F

dammit i can't fit all the sauces i want on here, just remembered tzatziki should be here
-F

@Siph That sounds interesting and now I want to try it!

condiment of choice (no further context given)

@The1AndMany sorry, could you not do the alternating-caps thing? I don't know if it originated as such but we know it as a rather anti-autistic meme

@starkatt (you can also get liquid crystal with clearing points at different temperatures, as much as 95 °C, presumably for identifying failures that occur only at raised temperatures)

@BatElite iwrc, thermal limitations meant that the Genesis wasn't able to run its processor at the full designed speed continuously, but it was able to run it at full speed for short bursts. Some clever marketing person thought "hey let's turn that around and say it's able to boost its clock speed higher for faster processing when it needs it"

as of today, it's been one year since we moved here to oregon

@starkatt so it's not a completely infallible method for finding the problem, but it *is* one of the coolest things we've done this year
-F

@starkatt oh yes something i forgot to mention is that you can actually make this even more precise--if, instead of having the wafer under test at room temperature, you use a heated chuck to control the entire wafer's temperature to *just* below the crystal's clearing point (here that would be like, 27 or 28 degrees), you can roughly double the sensitivity

again, though, that's still subject to whatever's in between the actual hot spot and the surface of the wafer where the liquid crystal is; metal layers especially can act like heatsinks and pull heat away, leading to the hot spot appearing to be wherever there happens to be less metal near the actual hot spot
