USPol, self care advice (+) 

All?

It's okay to celebrate knowing there's more work to do. Live in the moment. This is a HUGE weight lifted. Enjoy it.

Fact is this ends 4 years of helplessness and hopelessness when that work could not be done.

The gate is open. The path is clear. But don't think you have to kill yourself running headlong down it without taking a break to enjoy the breath of fresh air.

Survival means recovering, too. And enjoying milestones you worked for.

Request for aid, money, gofundMe 

We're at 1/4 of our goFundme goal, to get our power repaired and turned back on.

We've had no electricity for almost 2 weeks and can't even keep or cook food.

The electric company will not do the necessary repairs.

We really need your help right now, and this combined with money already received will get the lights back on.

Please boost, share, and give if you can.

due to a mistake in the program Alaric wrote to test diode breakdown voltages, a test device ended up held in breakdown for ten seconds, with its current-limiting resistor only limiting it to 50 watts, way too much for a tiny TO-220

Somehow, despite the fact that the tin plating melted and the heatsink mounting tab now has a mirror finish, indicating that it must have gotten to at least a temperature of 232°C, with the junction temperature even higher, it seems to still work perfectly fine

Asking for help, money, pls boost 

We've received some help from very generous folks but we're not out of the woods.
The OK ice storm left us without power for over a week now, ripping our meter off of the house. The electrician quoted us $8175. We've found cheaper now but cheaper is relative. We're still scared and in the dark here, and can't stream til we have electric. Help a poor queer family if you can.

why are stars always depicted with five points, when actual diffraction that results in stars looking pointy sometimes always results in an even number of points?

watching a summoningsalt video and this might be the best fakeout ever:

"Some more months passed after this record, but in September, something absolutely [wild] happened, something that nobody could have seen coming, that changed the way viewers would see Wii Sports Resort golf speedruns: *pause for effect*... Tyler got a capture card."

oh yeah @IceWolf i forgot to tell you, you may want at some point to get wii sports resort. I know it sounds silly but it's actually really fun? golf and bowling are particularly fan favorites on it
