Mmf. Still struggling with identity stuff. Nothing fits right, but also it's hard to try things on properly?

So when do we get to declare cryptocurrency illegal, again?

-F

Apparently there's a whole movement of people who think that if you're a US citizen and you just say you don't want to be subject to US law, then you're not

where on *earth* would people get that idea?
-F

you ever just think about.... huge boobs

and wanting to have them
-F

also here's a friend who showed up to watch
-F

And here's closeups of a few different parts
-F

Here's a picture of the whole thing!
-F

also ping @ofafeather about this, oops
-F

@starkatt @lorxus @Kyresti @chr if anyone wants to see the photos i took today, look downthread from here! they will be coming as soon as we can get them off our phone
-F

speaking of people who'd find it fascinating, ping @starkatt, @lorxus, and @Kyresti

and maybe @chr too

I should open that thing up again and get some pictures, I can think of some people here who'd probably find it fascinating

this was back when HP made stuff to last, and last it has--everything in there seems to be original, and all we needed to do was screw down a panel nut to fix a loose output connector and it works perfectly, still in calibration even as far as we can tell with the equipment we have
-F

and characteristic of that era, there were only maybe three transistors in the thing, along with a bunch of diodes

front panel was two galvanometers for showing the voltage and current, a single-turn potentiometer for setting the current limit, and most interestingly of all, four potentiometers driven by *gears* to rotary displays on the front, with a window to show through the number they're set to

the ones digit could spin freely, while the other three had rollers for ten detents in each
-F

opened up an antique (60s-era) high-voltage power supply at work to fix a loose connector, and that thing had the biggest flyback transformer we've ever seen in it--like the size of a box of tissues

which explains the periodic clicking it makes when in use--it must be operating that thing at extremely low frequency, for it to need such a large transformer. Probably around 2-5 Hz judging by the clicking.

It's from that era when "fully transistorized" was a selling point
-F

fun fact: this isn't even an edited thing

we have a program on our computer that's called Everything, which is just a really fast search engine for your computer because the default windows one is abysmal

so we finally got the original hyrule warriors and it seems like the story here confirms that volvagia is either trans, bigender, or genderfluid because he's a guy in this game and yet a girl in all the main series ones

I support him
