anyone here familiar with vacuum pumps? when something says max vacuum of 26 mmHg, does that mean that it can go to -26 mmHg gauge pressure, or that it can go to +26 mmHg absolute?

colorful things look like they should taste sweet...

i don't think we'd enjoy the taste of KMnO₄ though, however delicious it looks

in the US, cassia can legally be labelled and sold as cinnamon, but I believe it can't in europe
-F

for those who don't know the difference:

cinnamon is the bark of the cinnamomum verum tree, which is difficult to grow and picky about climate. cassia is the bark of cinnamomum cassia, a related but hardier tree that's easier to grow

?

it's really weird but also makes a lot of sense that isotopically-pure diamond would have a better thermal conductivity than normal diamond

but hell, normal diamond is expensive enough, imagine how much it costs to grow isotopically-pure diamond

i like how with connectors that can only be inserted one way, some people will refer to two of the possible 90° connector orientations as "right angle" and "left angle"

why is usb specified as 90-ohm transmission lines anyway, when almost everything uses either 50, 75, or 300 ohm transmission lines

falco and revali are really just the same character

what is it with nintendo and birds-who-are-jerks

why are there three diode packages called SMA, SMB, and SMC, and three completely unrelated connectors called SMA, SMB, and SMC?

BJTs are really handy and pretty underrated honestly

I've seen this in at least two video games, but the kinds of books we read tend to not have as well-defined "villain" characters
-F

i think it's a really neat story thing when the main villain turns out to not be that much of a threat, but one of their underlings ends up being the true big bad

ah, weekend
