I need to not look at vintage electronics because holy crap I want this but can't remotely afford it

old electronics test equipment is so fascinating

well, a much lower molar heat capacity. its mass heat capacity is slightly higher and its volumetric heat capacity is about half that of copper

I don't know which of these is most relevant to heatsink design or to heat transfer

I wonder how effective a diamond heatsink would be? Diamond has a thermal conductivity about three to four times that of copper (and specially-made high-purity synthetic diamonds can get to about thirty times that of copper or even 100x copper if you can make them out of 99.9% pure ¹²C), so you'd expect better performance, but I don't know how well the diamond would transfer that thermal energy to air

diamond also has a much lower heat capacity than copper, too

And that includes the lewd microfiction writers, too. Even if it's not always up my alley, you all make the world a more interesting place!

Just feel like saying, I really appreciate the people on here who write little microfiction that occasionally gets boosted into my home column. It's always enjoyable <3

hmm. good morning. it's a morning, at least.

Cinnamon candy is good.

went to the doctor because we were feeling sick, and got diagnosed with "acute viral upper respiratory infection"--in other words, a cold. Good to know it's nothing serious, I guess.

just a heads up that rose and I both have no intention of doing any sort of pranks or jokes for april fools day

we just learned that apparently sushi burritos are a thing

HDMI cables can certainly carry a lot of data. I wonder how common it is for people to use them as high-speed data links, because they're such a commodity compared to other controlled-impedance cables

i just realized:

1-3: windows 1, 2, and 3 (3.1 and 3.11 counted as part of 3 here)
4: windows 95
5: windows 98
6: windows ME/2000
7: windows XP
8: windows vista
9: windows 7?????

7???

you ever just want to not have a throat? because ours hurts enough right now that yeah I'd like that

apparently a good way to feel less crap when sick is to go eat a chimichanga.

thought: a ninja whose high evasion stat gets in the way a lot

sitting down for dinner except you evade the chair and land on the floor, ouch

getting into bed for the night and then you evade the mattress and somehow end up underneath it

pushing buttons for the elevator but you evade the buttons you're going for and hit the wrong ones instead

this is horrible timing to get sick

ghhh

feeling too sick and awful to go anywhere but we need toilet paper, there is none left in the apartment, and I don't know what to do x.x
