I have Strong Opinions on strange things that most people don't even know exists
like whenever TO-247 is an option I'll use that over TO-220 any day
I would rather use a Microchip, Linear Technology, or Analog Devices device than a TI or Maxim one
solderless breadboards are a necessary evil but an evil nonetheless
30 mil trace width minimum when I can get away with it
SOT-23 is good, SOT-23-6 is bad
I am not a fan of TO-263s or TO-253s. (an unpopular opinion but they're hard to solder)
so is phosphor bronze
copper alloys in general have good colors
beryllium copper is a nice color
oh wow @VoxSomniator your icon is super cute
probably bad bot concept
idea: fediverse bot that posts "Gender of the day:" and then a randomly selected part from digi-key, with picture
for some reason there aren't that many wire-to-board connectors that can handle high currents
molex makes a connector that can do 30A per contact, so I guess we can use their four-position one of those for this, just all four in parallel (they also have another series that a) looks fancier and b) has much higher current capacity but it costs like two or three times as much)

wholesome pokémon idea: enby nidorino/a struggling with dysphoria unwittingly leads to a new pokémon discovery upon evolving
I don't really know when to call someone a friend, but... I'm happy I have as many friends as I do, both on here and elsewhere. <3
fun fact: if you put your cell phone in a microwave and close the door, it will be unable to receive any calls until you open the door again
bonus fact: if you do this and then turn on the microwave, it will be unable to receive any calls ever again
on a slightly related note why does this wire distributor have a dedicated section for specifically and only AWG #6 wire, when everything else is sorted by type of wire, not by size https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/6-gauge-wire/
where do you even buy flat-braid litz wire anyway
or any type of litz wire
our usual sources don't offer it
finally, we've found some they actually have in stock that will work for it
turns out using welding cable to wind it is probably a bad idea though so now we need to find out where to buy litz wire or something
or just make our own by braiding magnet wire or something? _that_ sure sounds like a pain
ugh, toay is one of those days where tiny things feel overwhelming
glaceon is good

i've often been able to successfully explain Sonas, fur or otherwise, to people outside of the (generally queer/furry) culture with:
The (mental) image of yourself that makes your heart feel Smile the most.
if you like being represented by yourself! tadah! that's your sona! it's you!
if you wanna be a large sparkly space robot/AI who protects newly-formed planets from space debris, tadah! that's your sona! that's you!
it's a way of putting it in a perspective of self-enjoyment/fulfillment/love for people who Just Don't Get It on first contact.
don't know what to do about this, can't find any other suppliers or alternative cores
