(we don't go through butter quickly enough to not have some of it go bad before we use it all, but olive oil has a much longer shelf life)

olive oil makes a good substitute for butter most of the time but this quesadilla tastes just ever so slightly wrong and i'm not sure if it's the olive oil or what

@IceWolf oh i just remembered i should warn you, there's one boss in one of the last dungeons of the game who're a pair of witches, who merge into one body for the second phase of the fight, but who are explicitly shown to unmerge back to exactly how they were after you beat them
-F

i'm watching a demonstration of a new 100% route that takes 2:57 to beat the game, and it's at 2:30 and they're just now starting the gohma fight (the first boss if you're playing normally)

ocarina of time speedruns have gotten *wild* ever since they discovered SRM

and it's not exactly *difficult* to learn, certainly easier than the color code

just take all but the last digit and read that as a number, then multiply it by 10 to the power of the last digit

if it's less than 10 ohms, it'll just be written directly, with the letter R in place of a decimal point (R for Resistance, because a decimal point would be missed too easily at this size)
-F

how about we just start using the same coding for through-hole resistors as for surface-mount ones

maybe swap to a rectangular prism body instead of a cylindrical one, so that it's easier to print on, and then use the three-digit codes with numerals instead of colors

"102" for 1 kΩ is a lot more accessible and harder to mistake for something else than "brown black red"

you still need to learn the code but there have to be tradeoffs when things are so tiny
-F

should probably just drop the color code anyway, it's not good if you're colorblind

i get that it's easy to mark with the machines manufacturers have but also like

colorblind people exist, and even still those colors fade with heat so you can almost never tell what resistance old power resistors were to replace them

and the body colors! different manufacturers use different body colors and it's very often hard to tell whether you have a (light blue) metal-film resistor or a (teal) inductor

does anyone else find it weird how silver and gold are used in completely different ways for the multiplier and tolerance bands?

as a multiplier, gold is 0.1 and silver is 0.01, but as tolerances gold is 5% and silver is 10%

and then you also get brown 1% tolerance and red 2% tolerance which, at least those make sense. why isn't 5% green though

random trivium that i think is interesting:

you may see some statistics about the oldest tree in the world, or the tallest tree in some given forest, but you will never see where exactly it is

they don't publicise it to avoid attracting the sort of people who would vandalize it just for the hell of it, and to a lesser extent to avoid just making it a tourist attraction (which would also be bad for the tree)

this isn't actually unrelated to anything, we joined a telegram group a little while ago for one of our main interests and then discovered today that someone we've known to be very transphobic is in there

unrelated to anything, let me just say:

fuck transphobes

It's just so limiting.
