It might seem bad right now. And it is bad. But... Supreme Court justices can be impeached just like any other government official. It's only happened once before, but that doesn't mean it can't happen a second time.

I'm so bad at keeping up with people x.x

holy crap the new gmail interface is slow as hell

I really hate that you can't block custom emoji on here >.<

sudden silly thought: you can literally sunbathe if you visit Akʔan

it takes a few hours to transfer two and a half terabytes of data between drives. who would have guessed?

I kind of really want to get a commission of a specific thing but I don't know who from and that's annoying

Got a used hard drive. Ran the basic SMART checks... I think there's a problem here. This drive is claiming that it's been active for about 1.5 times the age of the universe.

what is this meme about moths and lamps that we keep seeing

it's not even anything fancy and new, or even expensive. it's $1.55 in single quantity, and the datasheet was written in 1998.

sometimes I like to just look on digi-key and click the most extreme values in their parametric search stuff (yes, i'm a nerd)

apparently, you can get an op amp, the LMC662C, with a maximum input bias current of two _femtoamperes_. 0.002 pA. That's _ridiculous_. How do you even measure that‽

...apparently they make 8-pin SOT-23 packages. Huh.

imagine a microcontroller with digital i/o pins that can source 50 amperes....

oh dear, they were talking about drawing this power from a _digital i/o_ pin

*looks on stackexchange* *sees someone asking if they can use a 10A 24V power supply for a 10.4A motor* "Okay, that's probably fine..." *notices that they say "it will take 5V power from my arduino and step it up to 24V to power the motor"* "No, nope, not gonna happen, no way."

Sometimes, people don't really think things through.

A store we went to the other day sold both non-flammable and regular aerosol dusters. For the same price, too, and the same weight.

So why even sell the flammable kind?
