apparently, the ancient greek word for an ostrich literally translates to "big sparrow"

which, okay, but
-F

that's basically how we got nobuo uematsu i guess

he's self-taught, was in a prog rock band at at least one point, and when making music for NES games had to basically toss out any hope of using guitars or drums in favor of simple square waves and noise
-F

i want to see a rock band do a piece where they don't use anything like their usual instruments. no guitar, violin instead. no snare drums, just taiko. no keyboard, but harpsichord. no vocals, just, uh, woodwinds i guess?

what kind of music would you get out of that, i wonder?
-F

if you play Bolero backwards, could you say you're unRaveling it?
-F

[_] <- why does the underscore not line up with the bottom part of the brackets
-F

you know, a 3d printer is really more like a plotter than a printer
-F

youtube why are you recommending me the announcement trailer for pmd2, that game came out years ago
-F

https://www.edn.com/peaking-current-source-has-high-rejection/ oh hey why do you never see this circuit used? that's a really good current source

-F

you ever just want to design and build a relay computer

don't have remotely the budget to actually do that but it'd be cool
-F

there's a company called Spang and that just sounds like a comic book sound effect

i'm not going anywhere with this it just does
-F

not really even as a zener, they're just using it in avalanche as a conduction path because they were too cheap to put in a 1N4004
-F

*they're using the gate-cathode junction of the thyristor as a zener*

who the hell designed this thing
-F

oh i never linked it, here

-F

okay yeah what the *fuck* is this thing and why are they abusing that poor thyristor like that
-F

uh oh, bigclive made a video titled "random ebay high-voltage "thing""

now i must know what this thing is but from the fact that clive can't tell what it is, i probably won't know much either
-F

it's also hard to remember how to spell

is it polish? it looks polish. or maybe czech
-F

it's a little weird to think that sugar wasn't usually, historically speaking, sold in granular form
-F

we have pączki

is tasty
-F

i'm kinda thinking... this quil form doesn't feel quite right anymore, it feels like i'm trying to be something i'm not out of fear of having to Explain Things

i don't know what i *do* feel like being right now but i have been thinking about being a sergal at least to try it out for a bit
