you know what would be a really useful feature for kicad? being able to tell it that these two nets are at the same high voltage so they don't need the huge clearance between each other that they do to every other net

apparently, there's a glitch in breath of the wild where

okay so when you throw a large rock, it temporarily has a state applied to it that makes bokoblins run away from it, because of course you'd run away from a rock the size of your head flying at you

if you throw the rock and pick it up quickly enough, that scare-bokoblins state can get stuck on the rock, so that as you carry it around bokoblins will run away from you in terror

fun fact again: most people know that iron, cobalt, and nickel are ferromagnetic, and at STP that's all you get as pure elements go; every other ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic thing is a compound

but if you go just slightly colder, pure gadolinium is also ferromagnetic! it's not ferromagnetic at STP because its Curie point is somewhere around 18 °C

one reason for the nickel is as a barrier layer between the gold and copper, yes, because otherwise you get copper-gold intermetallics that can cause problems, but the other reason is to provide a very wettable surface under the gold for the solder to stick to

copper is even more wettable than nickel, but it dissolves into solder very quickly
-F

random fun fact we learned yesterday: the gold in ENIG finished boards is not there to be the thing that the solder wets and sticks to, it's only there to protect the nickel (which is a metal with very good wettability)

the gold layer in ENIG isn't as thin as it is to save cost, though that's part of it--it's intended to completely dissolve into the solder, exposing fresh nickel for the solder to wet

you ever just think about how weirdly *amazing* kirby air ride's music was?
