kemet/yageo otherwise makes pretty good capacitors though, get a lot of mlccs from them and they also make some nice high-voltage high-capacitance electrolytics (we're talking like 220 μF 550 V capacitors for not even all that much money, i think they were like $5 each)
dunno why they would want to buy a company like rifa that's known primarily for making capacitors that explode
-F
apparently you can still buy RIFA capacitors; they're owned by kemet now
i don't know why on earth you would ever want to though. they're notorious for being horrendously unreliable and dangerous

soldering is nice

@cadxdr@weirder.earth @packbat no i meant i wasn't sure if the "dare" half of ludum dare also being latin was intentional
-F
@packbat to clarify my earlier statement: i don't know if that was intentional and i suspect it might not have been

@monsterblue yeah we also have a Thing about music that has any sort of vocals in it, which is probably at least partly why we have a Thing about clicking youtube links without knowing what's under them?
unfamiliar voices in general are Bad
-F
@monsterblue we have a Thing about clicking video links, could you explain what the video is?
-F
unrelated to anything: fuck the riaa
-F
@Gulfie @Austin_Dern MEMS is wild stuff in general
oh also SAW filters!
-F
@Austin_Dern maybe something with atomic force microscopes or liquid crystal hotspotting?
-F
@Austin_Dern thinking about things in our field that might elicit a similar reaction
can't seem to think of any though
-F
@Austin_Dern Yep! there's all kinds of weird stuff in sensors--wait until you learn how gravitometers work
-F
@SuricrasiaOnline wait wait wait how the *fuck*
some of those have *textures*!! that look like they'd be more than 4k on their own!!!!

@packbat "ludum dare" pronounced /ludum dare/ (four syllables total) (can you tell the IPA is biased towards easy representation of latin-ish languages?) is a somewhat unidiomatic (but i think grammatically correct) way to say "to give (a/the) game"
i'm not 100% sure on whether it means "to give (a/the) game [to something/someone]" or "to give [something] to (a/the) game" though

why did they call it a veterinarian when they could have called it a dogtor

long (1500 characters): Computers are literally magic
microscopic sigils etched into ritually purified crystals to give them the ability to think, linked together with carefully designed patterns made of highly specific materials to other thinking crystals, with a panel of liquified crystal--or, in the case of the emerging μLED panels, millions of tiny crystal balls--used to present information to the mage operating it, and other crystals with different microscopic sigils that let them see instead, that the mage uses to tell the artifice what it should be doing, in conjunction with more of the carefully designed patterns that have deliberate gaps in them, gaps which the mage can close and open as another method of telling the construct what to do. These constructs can also link to ley lines that span the globe, allowing rapid communication with other like constructs--and large sigils made of miles of precisely positioned and sized copper wire can make additional, miniature ley lines through which the devices can both draw power and link to the main communication leylines. Sorcerers are currently experimenting with longer and longer range communication without the use of leylines, sending information through the aether using specialized arrangements of copper and purpose-made magic-infused stone that can transfer information, though not objects, between the physical world and the aetherous otherworld where information can move without leylines to be transferred back to the world of physicality using another identical magic-infused stone
@terrana Excellent that you have them now!
