apparently you can skip having to deal with eggs (a sensory nightmare for us) when making brownie mix or cake mix by using sprite, or some other carbonated drink, instead of the eggs and oil and water you normally would add

good to know!

probably affects the flavor somewhat but also you could do interesting stuff with like, fruit flavored sodas to make like a peach cake or something?

no, youtube popup that i can't figure out how to get rid of, i am not taking a break from cable, we don't have cable to begin with

a bit of probably-humor in a random item description just got us thinking

"A charm that absorbs bad luck that could harm its wearer. What does it do with it?"

What *does* it do with it, though?

you know how sometimes a problem will vanish as soon as you ask for help?

not this time. this time we rebooted it because it was frozen again, it got itself stuck in a boot loop for like five minutes, then eventually set off some kind of failsafe that made it factory reset itself

now it's going through and applying every update that the steam link ever got, one at a time
-F

our steam link updated a few days ago and now it keeps randomly freezing up

has anyone else had this problem

it just occurred to me that the ovens they use to bake food on an industrial scale are basically the same thing as reflow ovens

some of them are probably multiple-zone too

sharks are pretty cute

just saw a numberphile video that implied that the OEIS has a hidden "dangerous sequences" section and now i want to know what would be in that

someone in the comments suggested "natural numbers in descending order" which is *fantastic*

@artemis@vulpine.club Still, why's that a problem? Or did you manage to delaminate some flat flex or something?

as someones who don't like horror games and have an anxiety disorder, horror games/movies are a weird concept to us

like, "oh yes i'd like to be extremely stressed for a few hours, please make the experience as stressful as possible"

i get that some people like that! i don't get why and i doubt i'll ever understand because we get stressed enough with everyday life to need fairly hefty anxiety medication

for reference (pun not intended) the REF200 is a sorta mixed-utility chip, it has two fully isolated floating 100 μA (±0.5%, ±25ppm/°C) current references and a bipolar current mirror, which means that with zero additional parts and just through sticking pins together, you can get any of the following:
- 2x 100 μA sources + 1x current mirror
- 1x 200 μA source + 1x current mirror
- 1x 200 μA source + 1x 100 μA source
- 1x 300 μA source
- 1x 400 μA source
- 1x 100 μA source + 1x 50 μA source

i could be cynical and say "because burr-brown got bought out by TI" but I don't think that's the reason, what is the raeson?
-F

the REF200 is a handy sort of thing... why don't more things like this exist?
