question: what exactly is "da share zone"?

Dream-based story seed 

A 'magical [girl] squad' setup, except after the show has ended.

Someone stumbles on a ship that was once the headquarters of such a squad. The Big Bad has long since been defeated. The AI mission-giver in the ship is a bit loopy and without purpose. It wants new recruits, now that it's woken back up, but it doesn't know what for.

There's technology (magic) just laying around the ship that's vastly more advanced than anything on this entire planet.

The first discoverer, a social psych graduate student in a university, comes back the next day with friends. Students from behavioral psych, computer science, physics, engineering, and anthropology. They form a squad of six, get the usual costumes and powers--and completely ignore them, getting to work on very different projects.

The compsci major analyzes the ship's computer system and figures out what there is that can be hacked into. The physics and engineering majors try to reverse-engineer the high levels of technology and try to find uses for it. Anthropology gets to work out how human culture across the planet would react to the introduction of near-miraculous technology--and how to release it in stages without letting on where it's coming from. The social psych gets to wrangle everyone and be the 'team leader'. And behavioral psych gets to play therapist to a neurotic AI, easing their madness and convincing them of their mission.

They proceed to change the world, without fighting.

the ADuM3190 looks good-ish except that it has a 400kHz bandwidth, and we need more than that >.<

Hey Siri. Show me the opposite of a cat.

the ideal situation would be a wide-bandwidth current sense amplifier that can withstand high common-mode voltages well above its vcc rail, but I don't know if any such devices exist that can handle 500V common-mode.

We have been presented with an engineering problem that we are not sure how to solve: we need to be able to measure high-frequency ripple current (up to several MHz) on a DC power rail that can be anywhere from zero to 500 volts, and get that in a form that can be fed into a logging device. The DC component of the current can be up to 100 amperes. Any engineers here who can give some advice?

sometimes game walkthroughs are apparently written by people who aren't as good at the game as they think

this one says you'll want to make sure you have your STR stat up to at least sixty, preferably 65, for a boss I was having trouble with

I just beat the boss (figured out how on my own, since this guide was unhelpful) with a STR of thirty

Does anyone here know how to get Retroarch to add a patched rom to its collection menu?

I love this statue, and I've always thought it's the perfect symbol of Welsh rugby. But it has nothing to do with Wales, or rugby - it stands in the Bulgarian city of Varna, and is called Dragons in Love, showing two dragons holding an egg.

theorem: there is no upper limit to cuteness
proof: Assume the scenario S is the cutest possible. Now, S can be made cuter by the addition of a kitten, puppy, ferret, or other cute animal of your choice. Thus, there is a cuter scenario than S, contradicting our earlier assertion that S was the cutest possible. Therefore, the cutest possible scenario cannot exist, and there is an infinite hierarchy of cuteness.

should we go for a cheap wifi/bluetooth card, or is a usb bluetooth adapter enough?

another tech question: What's the best, easiest, and/or cheapest way to get functional bluetooth on a desktop computer? we'd like to be able to use this controller wireless but the computer has no bluetooth or even wifi card

Question for techy people here: is there any reason a PCIe x1 device could refuse to work unless in an x4 slot? because the reviews on this thing say it does but I can't understand what's any different between the situations

probably not as long as it'd take to convince someone to actually attempt it

i wonder how long an "all coins" speedrun of super mario world would take? where you have to get every single coin in every single level

it's honestly kind of weird that one of the most loved video game characters out there is a ridiculously athletic middle-aged Italian plumber
