from context i would assume bailey's irish cream is some kind of alcoholic drink because why the hell else would donuts need to be labelled non-alcoholic
-F
we now have a box of specifically *non-alcoholic* donuts
which we got purely for the novelty of having donuts labelled non-alcoholic. we have no idea what this "bailey's irish cream" that they're flavored like tastes like but i mean come on when do you see donuts labelled as non-alcoholic
we've never seen alcoholic donuts in our life

apparently it's not as commonly known as we'd thought that diamond is actually an absurdly good thermal conductor, so now you know that too!
few things are known that have a higher thermal conductivity than diamond, among them are graphene and, as long as the crystal is relatively defect-free (which is actually *really difficult*), boron arsenide

dymalloy is a really neat thing
it's an alloy of 20% copper, 80% silver, and <1% tiny diamonds dispersed through it
It's absurdly expensive but it also has among the highest thermal conductivity of anything workable at over 400 W/m·K, even higher than pure copper
it's about ½ to ⅓ as conductive as pure diamond but a) pure diamond is orders of magnitude more absurdly expensive than dymalloy and b) it's not workable, you can't machine it

After revealing itself though, it *can* capture pieces of *either* color, but no longer follows the commands of its disguise color. the fact that it can only move as its disguise color is to prevent a game from starting out with one king effectively in check
i guess it also can't reveal itself by taking the king because that would just be rude

Rosemary had a neat idea the other day for a chess variant and since zhe doesn't seem to feel up to posting it ever (zhe has the worst social anxiety of all of us, i think), i will mention it here:
Consider a normal game of chess, except at the start of the game, each player gets to replace any one of the opponent's pawns with an infiltrator, which acts exactly like a pawn except that at any time the opponent can choose to take control of it (it still moves like its disguised color)

hmm. @heatherhorns is cute

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
-F
oh hey this thing's really neat actually? it's an IGBT with a built-in driver IC
