Well, that was an interesting occurrance. Went to a local used game store to get a disc resurfaced, and while we were going there anyway I grabbed a couple games we'd found out we had two of while cleaning the other day to sell. We ended up trading the games in for a surprisingly-good-condition SNES console.

Random fact of the day!

Any good (key word: good) digital multimeter also includes an analog multimeter. The reason for this is that, while it is fast, the analog-to-digital conversion does take time; the higher the precision, the more time it takes. This means that short transient spikes can get missed completely if they happen between conversions. To mitigate this, analog multimeter circuitry is added that bypasses the digital side entirely, outputting directly to a bargraph on the display.

we're both doing way better I think now that Rosemary has zhir own leisure activity again

you can tell it to stop recommending you an individual item but that doesn't work on playlists (and I don't know if it works at all really)

how do I get youtube to stop recommending me playlists titled things like "illegal memes"

I don't understand people who change their icon anything more frequently than like, once every three months

the high-pressure ammonia lumber trick is really neat

I guess basic furniture too. tables and chairs and stuff, there's variety in, but it's almost all artistic variety rather than "making a better table/chair"

thinking about how capitalism results in people trying to reinvent existing things to beak into a market that's long past any possible innovation and trying to think of things that have proven immune to that

can't think of anyone trying to do it to hammers, but that's about it. i briefly thought bookmarks before remembering those bookmarks that mark what line you were on and stuff or the ones with timers in them

apparently there are people who pronounce jalapeños "jelly penis" and just. why

@Oneironott @tastymochafox if this is a possible thing it seems like it would be relevant to your interests

I wonder if you could make a hair dye that contains luminol

why is youtube recommending me minecraft videos in Polish

we need a law that says it's illegal to prosecute someone for pirating things that are no longer sold

(also we should just make DRM illegal and have a general copyright reform, but whatever)

also what exactly ARMS/s stands for changes with different games

in the first one it was Advanced Relic Machine, in the second one it was "Agile Remote Mission Squad" or in the japanese version "Awkward Rush & Mission-Savers" (?!??), in the third it didn't stand for anything (I think?), in the fourth it was Ambient Reorganization Material
