apparently Farnell stocks 74LS181s but as they're no longer manufactured they're kind of expensive. And Newark (the same company but the north american version) seems to have website troubles since it keeps 403ing on me

is it still possible to buy 74181s? those would be neat to mess around with.

that feeling when there's someone you have kind of wanted to meet for a while on mastodon, but you look at their posts and it's almost entirely manual boosts of twitter content from other people... >.< Even if it's like, good stuff, that's not.

@Pitchblende@snouts.online oh hey, cool to see more modular people around!

I'm also reminded of a thing Adam Savage has said. Paraphrased, since it's been a while:

apparently, our neighbor checks mail like once every six months because they just gave us some books we ordered in august that had apparently been mistakenly delivered to their mailbox instead

I just encountered someone talking about algebras over finite fields in the same sentence as my little pony and uh. I don't know what to think of this???
