worldbuilding thoughts
A planet with exceptionally deep valleys, that only has any significant atmosphere at the bottom of those valleys. Going between valleys would require pressurized suits like spacesuits, at least prior to digging tunnels.
bulk discounts are weird. we just increased our BOM quantity of one part by four and the total price dropped by almost 30%.
tolerances better than 0.1% on anything other than like resistors and stuff is just hard to think about
apparently LT makes a voltage reference with ±0.025% absolute tolerance and that is just absurd
Fun fact: if you were to stack every human on earth on top of each other, they wouldn't like it
so, if you use duckduckgo, what's the proper way to say the equivalent of "I googled it"
"I duckduckwent it"?

@Felthry he's the leader of the bunch / you know him well / he's finally back / to make life hell
Donkey Kong is the avatar of chaos and entropy. Why? Well, his name is D(e)K(ay).
people talk about it a lot and apparently there's some kind of thing where the map shrinks but
that's about all we know
we still have like no idea what fortnite actually is
Hall-effect current sensors are _fascinating_ applications of physics.
Really, the instrumentation of this piece and how so many disparate instruments work together so well is fascinating. I haven't even had space to talk about the melody itself, which is fantastic, as expected given its composer.
As an aside, I've realized there seem to be three types of Felthry's VGM Selections: ones where I talk about the melodic structure of the music, ones where I talk about the instrumentation, and ones where I talk about the game it's from.
This melody is paired with a continuous rising-and-falling arpeggio in the background (which gets hard to hear at times over the rest of the music), a high-pitched synthesizer filling the role of the 'bass' despite not being bass by any stretch of the imagination, a small amount of choir to give that added bit of finality to it, the occasional orchestra hit, and fast-paced percussion under it all.
In The Final
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Yoko Shimomura
You know a game has good music when Shimomura is on the team, and this is no exception. This piece is a very appropriately climactic final boss battle theme, with an interesting choice of instrumentation; the leads are an electric piano and a string section, which play in tandem for a pretty neat effect, combining the piano's sudden attack with the timbre of strings behind.
I wonder if anyone else was ever very confused by the way the GBA version of Mario Bros (the arcade game) called your score "PI"
it just never clicked for us until like, today, that that's supposed to be P1 as in player one, not PI as in π
suddenly feeling all melancholy for some reason... x.x
Is anyone on here aware of any scientific labelmakers? Like, ones with dedicated buttons for common symbols like Ω and μ so you don't have to go through menus to get them
That said we'd also appreciate one that just had those symbols as an option, the documentation of these things never seems to mention its character set
