Random fact, people who are annoyed by USians' insistance on not using metric look away 

at least in the US, the standard unit of PCB plating thickness is the "ounce". A regular everyday PCB will be plated with 1oz copper, but some that need to handle higher current will have 2oz copper, and some design restrictions might mean you want 0.5oz copper

you might think this is weird because it's the thickness that matters, not the weight, but not to worry! ounce is a measure of thickness in this context. it's the thickness that results from spreading one ounce of copper over an area of one square foot

you may note that this is specific to copper, and in fact the industry standard (1 oz Cu = 34.79 μm) does not correspond to what you would get using commonly accepted values for the density of pure copper (that comes out to 34.06 μm)--that's because this definition uses a very specific alloy of copper that does not correspond to either pure copper or even the copper you would find in wires

if we get this job we just interviewed for we are going to be moving to bend, oregon, which is apparently 1) a beautiful place to live and 2) *overwhelmingly* full of white people

we would kind of like a good android hanafuda game for winding down

found one that works but there's no way to disable ads (not even a paid version) so we have to put the phone in airplane mode to play it

If you were two-headed person who has perfect vision in one head's eyes but needs glasses on the other head, would you wear just the one pair of glasses, or would you wear a pair of prop glasses on your other head to match? (let's say you have some reason to go with glasses over contacts, too)

was it intentional, i wonder, that the four extensions to the final fantasy VII universe had titles that abbreviate to AC, BC, CC, and DC?
