Hmm. This gate drive board we've been given to use is designed to accept power through metal standoffs... That seems a bit iffy, but I guess if we use brass ones it'll be okay? Or maybe we can find a nice copper spacer.

I'm not sure if we should trust aluminum to make a good contact, even if aluminum standoffs are cheaper.

it always makes me sad to see a game or even just a minor feature of a game stop working because they couldn't afford to keep the servers up.

Stop centralizing servers for video games already!

It's a little concerning when someone with no posts, a creepy icon, and a very minimal profile follows you... Particularly if they're following literally thousands of other people. I uh. Really don't know what to do right now, I can't tell if this is a followbot or an actual person who can somehow handle following that many people

*adds first line item to cart* *total immediately goes to $650* *there are about thirty more line items and this isn't even the most expensive*

millifarad-level high-voltage film capacitors are expensive.

Trying to figure out... at what point do you go from "designing things and assembling a BOM" to "putting together specific orders and getting quotes on things"

I wonder if we should start working this BOM into a digikey cart

Mmhf. There are several people I'm mutuals with who I'd like to get to know better but social is hard.

Don't know why, but I'm feeling kind of down today for no apparent reason...

weird twitch in our upper left hand today that just won't go away.

Random twitches are usually a stress response, but what has us all stressed?

rrg. feeling really bad about being on someone's mute list again (for a mistake, but a valid reason to put someone on mute)

I just want to be able to be friends with this person, they seem really cool, but I messed up and ugh.

We see it in video games a lot, but is the 1F/2F/3F/etc and B1F/B2F/etc abbreviation actually used anywhere outside of video games?

Is it like a Japanese thing or something?

looking up stuff about friis' noise formulas and as I typed that duckduckgo suggested "friis noise for sale" as one of the auto-completes and. ???

I get that "for sale" is just one thing that's added to a lot of search results but.

Just found out that our apartment complex is in the process of upgrading the mattresses they provide tenants to those fancy tempur-pedic ones and. We bought a mattress a few years ago and now what are we going to do with this

anyone need a mattress at some unknown, unspecified time in the next few months

So we just got a bluetooth dongle for our wireless-less computer and would like to ask: is there some particular bluetooth driver thing that's generally considered The One To Use?

The Noric language, a continental Celtic language, is only attested in two short inscriptions, the only complete one of which contains the personal name Artebudz, which is thought to mean "bear penis".

This means that the Noric word for dick is one of the dozen or so words attested in the language.

I read a thing and am now confused and would appreciate anyone clearing up the confusion if they know:

what's the point of "decorators" in the python programming language?

and before you suggest it, i'm already cyndaquil
