Random reminder to (if you have the spoons) check your block and mute lists to see if someone you put on there temporarily accidentally got left on there

I worry that that might happen to me sometime, that i'll get on someone's mute list temporarily because i'm being overly talkative and then the person just forgets to unmute

really what's with 2000s sony and the weird insistence on games using the exact phrasing "Memory Card (8 MB) (for PlayStation® 2)" in every instance the memory card is referenced

if everyone has two wolves inside them, do those wolves each have two wolves inside them too

I wish JBC irons were more affordable though, they're excellent to work with and if they weren't so expensive i'd definitely be recommending them to everyone who needs a soldering iron but the fact stands that they're Really Expensive and a hakko fx-888d is good enough and a fraction of the cost

of course you pay for this quality, the whole thing cost a total of like $1600 compared to the cheap weller's <$100 but it's not our money, it's the school's x3

so the lab we work in got a really nice JBC soldering iron yesterday and holy crap is it nice to work with

the cheap weller one we had before doesn't even begin to compare

we can change tips without having to wait for it to cool down, it provides a _ton_ of heat to easily solder to big ground planes (it can solder a massive 150-amp rated tab to a super-thick double-sided 4oz copper plane with only a minimum of trouble), and it has really nice specialty tips

why do we have different weight systems for precious metals and everything else anyway, is it just to cheat people into thinking they're getting more

you know the old trick question, "which is heavier, a hundred pounds of feathers or a hundred pounds of bricks"?

a neat variant is to ask between feathers or gold, because people will say they're the same but they actually aren't: the hundred pounds of feathers are heavier because gold is measured in (lighter) troy pounds

I have no idea whether anyone will actually get this joke or not

do candyland chemists use sixlet extractors

a laserdisc player spinning up sounds kind of scary actually

you keep thinking it's almost done but it's still getting faster and louder and aa

apparently the outer edge of the disc goes at literally like 60 miles per hour or something around there

something I really appreciate about the discworld novels is how pratchett managed to make death an actual well-written character with actual personality

There are two wolves outside of you

I guess you ate all the rest or something?

Irish orthography is _weird_. But also fascinating. But also weird.

I wonder who exactly manufactures those boxes they put dvds and video games in
