we're actually learning to appreciate igbts lately

they're good for switching huge currents with tiny gate charge

but they're also ridiculously difficult to simulate for some reason, the SPICE models all have convergence issues

this might sound absurd to some people but during our eight years living in alabama, we heard someone honk at someone else maybe one or two dozen times

we've heard honks at least five times in the month we've lived in oregon

discussion with a friend yesterday about extremely unpleasant chemicals produced a very cursed idea:

what would happen if you reacted diborane, a very strong reducing agent, with chlorine trifluoride, a very strong oxidizer?

oh also the fact that prisons in DF are inhabited pretty much exclusively by people who didn't have enough material to make the ridiculous thing some noble demanded, or who accidentally traded away a bin full of mixed cloth scraps without realizing that some noble had decided they wanted all the alpaca wool to themself and banned its export

this was after said person had
- had liquid ozone explode inside the tubing
- dropped styrofoam into a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid *ozone* (nothing happened, which was even more terrifying)
- talked about how the glassware was cleaned with *boiling chromic acid* so that the liquid ozone wouldn't react with trace contaminants
- did all this stuff in a shed, not a proper chemistry lab or anything

just watched someone on youtube drop a chunk of white phosphorus into a test tube full of liquid oxygen and *that* was a frightening thing to witness, wow
