you ever just want to design and build a relay computer

don't have remotely the budget to actually do that but it'd be cool
-F

there's a company called Spang and that just sounds like a comic book sound effect

i'm not going anywhere with this it just does
-F

not really even as a zener, they're just using it in avalanche as a conduction path because they were too cheap to put in a 1N4004
-F

*they're using the gate-cathode junction of the thyristor as a zener*

who the hell designed this thing
-F

oh i never linked it, here

-F

okay yeah what the *fuck* is this thing and why are they abusing that poor thyristor like that
-F

uh oh, bigclive made a video titled "random ebay high-voltage "thing""

now i must know what this thing is but from the fact that clive can't tell what it is, i probably won't know much either
-F

it's also hard to remember how to spell

is it polish? it looks polish. or maybe czech
-F

it's a little weird to think that sugar wasn't usually, historically speaking, sold in granular form
-F

we have pączki

is tasty
-F

i'm kinda thinking... this quil form doesn't feel quite right anymore, it feels like i'm trying to be something i'm not out of fear of having to Explain Things

i don't know what i *do* feel like being right now but i have been thinking about being a sergal at least to try it out for a bit

i wonder what sorting algorithm people tend to use when sorting things

like if you give someone a pile of cards with numbers on them and ask them to sort them what is their thought process like

probably insertion sort?

definitely insertion sort if you give someone an already sorted list and a small collection of things to add to it in the proper location--like putting back library books

I could see people doing something quicksort-y in the former situation though
-F

need to step away from this thing now because it is extremely frustrating when you try to gently correct someone on their misconceptions and they take what you say and just say "oh so i was right all along" when you were explicitly saying that they were not right and are misunderstanding a thing

and then they start arguing with you about how their thing is right and stuff
-F

you ever just think about how people *hated* botw's soundtrack when it came out? i guess it's really different, yeah, but it's *beautiful*
-F

the world is hard

but friends are good
-F

it's always really difficult but now it's both difficult and pretty overdue
-F

rrrgh... we need to take out the trash but that's really difficult right now for some reason
