random thought: Are Hoary Boulder and Coultenet partners? Like, in the romantic sense? Coultenet has a line of dialog talking about how he appreciates how Hoary Boulder's uniform brings out the color in his eyes, which is not generally something you say about a mere acquaintance...

They do *ex*cavations all the time, but where are all the archaeological *in*cavations?

I was mostly just thinking about things that are not transistors in packages that you would expect to see transistors in. you get voltage regulators in pretty much every "transistory" package I suppose, from TO-3 to SOT-23, but digital circuitry in that style of package would be interesting

they'd have to be programmed with 1-wire or something similar

I wonder if they make tiny microcontrollers in SOT-23-3 packages, that don't have anything but power, ground, and a single gpio

you ever just think about how weird it is that the US state of Virginia is named after the fact that the queen of england at the time had never had sex? it wasn't named after a person or anything, it was named after the fact that a particular famous person had never had sex

today we learned: nachos are apparently named after a person, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya

this quest gives me a choice between noct earrings (def 1, mdef 1, str +18, crit +18, vit +21, dir +13) and gloam earrings (def 1, mdef 1, str +18, crit +18, vit +21, dir +13) as a reward

you will notice that those are identical stats

why?

did a dungeon thing and ended up with a couple questions:

someone kept saying in the chat "pull it up!"; what does that mean?

also someone randomly decided to slap me in the middle of a battle???? why??????

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a real-world spiritual tradition that has something similar to this

imagine a democratically-elected pantheon, where every so often there's an election and then there are new gods who were previously minor spirits

Phrases I did not expect to see today, or indeed ever, but did in fact see today:

"Opaque to neutrinos"

okay what the hell is going on with this queueing thing, is there some kind of glitch? it's been over two hours and I haven't seen a single tank register for this

withdrew and re-registered because I'm quite sure something is just _stuck_ or something, we've not once seen the tank registration number go above zero, even as th eothers fluctuated

okay a hundred minutes is a ridiculous time to wait for something, can two people please queue up for urth's fount as a tank

we have now been waiting for seventy-five minutes on something htat initially estimated a wait time of twenty minutes

this is very frustrating

it has now been three times the initial estimate of 20 minutes and I am really fed up with this
