engineering joke 

heatsinks for SOT-23
-F

why's it called refurbished
when was it furbished the first time
-F

i guess this is a subtoot 

Oof. this person we are trying to avoid (they were really, abusive? in the past; they took over an IRC channel without any of the users' or previous admins' consent through some shenanigans and went on a power trip, started banning people left and right for daring to express discomfort with their takeover) keeps making new fedi accounts and i want to give them the benefit of the doubt but i kinda worry they're just ban evading

i don't know how or whether to report this though, they haven't approached us but several of our friends seem to know them and it's. Kinda uncomfortable honestly

I don't want them to abuse any of our friends but i want to hope they've gotten better and realized their mistake

How do they keep water mains from freezing in the winter, anyway? pipes indoors have heaters anyway but the outdoors ones don't
-F

you ever just feel incredibly lucky to have the friends you have?

'cause i'm feeling that right now. you're all excellent and i'm really glad to know you
-F

how do you trademark a color

has fluke done this? they either haven't or it's completely ineffective judging by the number of color mimicking multimeters out there

Maybe Ys 1 spoilers 

like you get
- Dahm Tower instead of Darm Tower
- Luther Gemma instead of Luta Gemma
- Lado Spire instead of Rado's Annex
- Jevah instead of Jeba
- Slaghf instead of Slaff
- Talwarl instead of talwar (this is a real type of sword, you'd think they'd get it right)
- Temple of Salmon instead of Solomon Shrine (though the Salmon mistranslation shows up in other versions too)
- Zeptik village instead of Zepik village
- Rastine instead of Rastin
- Sarah instead of Sara

I dunno it's just a bit odd!

Replaying the DS version of Ys feels a bit odd after playing basically every other version

The DS one was our first experience with the series, but it seems very divergent in terms of names of things
-F

if they're called vegetables, why do you never see anyone veget them?
-F

why, you might wonder? it's a chemystery

okay actually it's just because copper nitrate isn't soluble in nitric acid so it forms a protective layer, but it dissolves easily in water, so having 32% water helps a lot

i just wanted to use the word chemystery

we always found it really neat that pure nitric acid can't dissolve copper, but 68% nitric acid can
-F

has anyone else here ever heard of the game ШП (ShP)?

it's a very weird game, you're presented with a very poorly designed UI and given no instructions or any hints as to what your goal is

also the entire thing is in russian, and it's intended for people who don't speak russian

the idea is that it's like trying to make unlocalized foreign software do what you want it to

source measure units are perhaps the least helpfully named lab equipment
