sometimes i don't know if that game's dialog writing is genius or a trainwreck in the best possible way

randomly reminded of that "I lied. It's actually hot." scene from tales of symphonia

and then from there, the whole two-swords thing

@Zest hi that's me

i like to-18s, they're just kinda nice

@LexYeen that's true! and sometimes they come out of the dryer all staticky.

@LexYeen it's not even like a bad mood as much as just

i have this weird relationship with gender and it's a good thing, i like this

@zaradragon i guess it'd be transcat (the used equipment dealer we got it from--yes, it cost $100k used, this is extremely expensive equipment) we'd be going up against if we tried to claim warranty on it after opening it up but still
-F

@zaradragon it technically wouldn't because the "warranty void if opened" thing is not legal in the US but we don't have the legal power to go up against keysight if they say it is

it'd definitely void the calibration though, opening up any precision instrumentation does
-F

(that was quite an adventure and resulted in us learning a surprising amount about plumbing)
-F

(technically we already did open up and look at how another piece of extremely expensive equipment works but that's because we bought it used for literally about a fiftieth its original price and it wasn't working entirely right so we had to fix it)
-F

@zaradragon yeah absolutely

just think about all the time and effort that went into the development of the modern digital oscilloscope or even a plain old multimeter

even the cheap $5 garbage multimeters you can get at ace hardware represent incredible technological advancement
-F

i'd love to take apart the 1505 and look at how it does all its stuff but i don't think our boss would appreciate us voiding the warranty on a $100k piece of equipment
-F

when you use a tool on a daily basis it starts to feel really normal and nothing exceptional but

if you think about it a lot of the equipment we use as electrical engineers is really fascinatingly complex stuff
-F

@noiob that doesn't sound right

sometimes i see @LexYeen posting stuff and just get to thinking about multiyeentaurs.... they're good
