the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

We have been hyper-conscious of blinking lately and it's getting on our nerves.

I... really need to get better at letting Rose front. I think I've been holding front too much to the detriment of us both.

-F

🔥 It's Rosemary here. I think I'm going to be fronting for a little bit because Felthry's driven itself too hard and needs a break. We decided a little while back that we're going to be using a single account for the both of us now, so I'll be here.

it is early and i'm not even an earl

note also that yes, it is *technically* possible to reverse-charge most types of batteries, even alkalines, but this is universally a failure state and they do not have much capacity when reverse charged (and will only charge to a few hundred millivolts if that)

Lead-acid cells are actually symmetric (except for mechanical asymmetries in how commercial ones are designed)

note that you should never reverse-charge them though. Modern commercial lead-acid batteries are designed to maximise performance when used in the intended operating mode, i.e. with the + terminal charged to a higher voltage than the - terminal.

did you know that lead-acid batteries can actually be charged in either polarity? it's the only battery chemistry we're aware of that allows that.

we have been so overwhelmed by... both everything and *nothing*, somehow, that thinking is hard x.x.x our brain can't brain right now

So uh. what was mixer again?

a game where the goal is to confuse snakes: Adder Addler

they say you should walk a mile in someone else's shoes, but even @monorail's shoes are too small for that

or was it @connie who was talking about not having a DS? I forget, it was someone whose stream we watched recently x.x.x

hey @SquirrelLilly was it you who were talking about not having a DS? Apparently Walmart currently has a sale on the 2DS XL for $100, which is a really good deal. It's the last run before they discontinue the whole 3DS series (though of course used ones will still be available)

this whole github renaming master to main thing... can we do that across the rest of electrical and computer engineering?

no more MOSI and MISO, go with SDI and SDO

replace the master/slave terminology for communications and control buses with something like controller/device

oop, forgot that i'd have to accept some monsterpit follows too! Done that now

i feel like we've made this exact post before....

wait wait

Uematsu wrote the theme for Super Smash Bros Brawl?

that explains why it's so different
