we have realized today that we have no intuitive sense of how bright a candela is and it's a problem because we need to figure out how low a current we can run this LED at and have it still be visible
-F

what happened to double-source FETs with current sensing? we just learned that those exist and they seem really useful; the sense source has a defined proportion of the area of the power source, so you know that it'll get an exact proportion of the current to within manufacturing tolerances--so you can use a simple current sense circuit that only needs to handle 1/100 your actual output current

but no one seems to make them anymore, they're all marked obsolete on digikey

things we like about oregon, a non-exhaustive list
- you can get an X on your driver's license here (we did, havne't gotten the license yet though)
- the pharmacy sells non-gendered multivitamin supplements (why is this uncommon, seriously)

thinking about that thing in some fantasy stories where the power of magic is fading away

and just thinking about some kind of far-future sci-fi where like, the power of chemistry or gravity or something is fading away

why are we so tired today

the events of the last few days really do show the truth of the saying that the downfall of fascism is the appearance of weakness

as a follow-up to this, have you ever tried actual parmagiano-reggiano or pecorino romano cheeses?

all this clonefucking talk has me thinking about being multibodied again and yeah, i'd like that please

absurdly nitpicky pet peeve:

engineers who always capitalize via as VIA

it is not an acronym people

i like that some elements are just named stuff like "white stuff" (bismuth) or "smelly" (bromine)
