i was going to make these more disparate languages but i didn't want to take some obscure language that's actually spoken and use it as part of a joke, because that feels too close to using someone's culture as part of a joke

choose your language

a demonstration? what if i just want a monstration though

When you need highly conductive fasteners, there really aren't a lot of options out there. Aluminum is the most conductive metal you can buy bolts made of, but it has contact resistance problems that make it unsuitable for our needs. Brass doesn't get much better than 25% IACS, but it's pretty much what you have to settle for... Copper bolts just aren't made at all, unless someone with a lathe owes you a favor.

Political (Ableism and Leftist Spaces) 

The revolution and the world built afterwards NEEDS to be Disabled friendly and Neurodivergent friendly, and while we've luckily managed to avoid seeing anything on Mastodon that's directly ableist on the left, we can't say the same for most leftist spaces, and this needs to change.

It's not just the elimination of slurs like the r-word. It's gaining an understanding of sysmedicalism and how saying plurals can only be formed from trauma, ironically, causes trauma for non-trauma systems.

It's learning how to make your environment more accessible wheelchair-users but it's also learning how to balance conflicting access needs for Autistic people and people with sensory processing disorder. It's learning how compliance-based torture like Applied Behavioral Analysis clothes itself as "therapy" and sells itself to the general public, and stopping that in It's tracks.

It's communities trying to figure out and learn how we're going to handle medications people need after our current system collapses. It's developing a deep understanding that social workers, psychological, and psychiatry units and practices are NOT a viable alternative to the cops — that they often perpetuate the same bigotry as cops, and work in tandem with them. It's communities finding a solution to that so we don't have to worry about weather someone will be killed via institutionalization.

We, despite having hope, don't see anyone talking about these things, besides other Disabled and Neurodivergent people, and that really needs to change.

(Feel free to add to this — boosts welcome as well, we want as many people to see this as possible.)

This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth , please remember to stop stigmatizing diagnoses. Yes, including that one. That one, too. The personality disorders that it's become cool to hate on? Also off limits.

electrical engineering uses some weird units sometimes

- the mil (0.001 inch), used for PCB layout and device package dimensions
- the μ" (0.001 mil), used for plating thicknesses
- the circular mil (π/4 square mils), used for wire cross-sectional area
- the MFT or kilofoot (1000 ft), used when specifying cable resistance (in Ω/MFT)
- the □ (square), as used in Ω/□, for measuring surface resistivity
- the √Hz (root hertz), used for measuring noise spectral density (as nV/√Hz)

of course this could be adjusted to 50% or 25% or 80% or whatever best suits the particular case

mh, social - 

yay, time for "everything i say is wrong and bad" stress again

i think this could be actually pretty interesting because it puts more choice into things than 100%--you have to go figure out which 75% you should get, which things are most skippable

concept: in addition to any% and 100% speedruns, do a 75% speedrun where the goal is to get exactly 75% of the stuff, no more and no less, and beat the game

today marks the fifth type of coaxial connector we've used in a project

in addition to BNC, SMA, MHV, and SHV, we have now used TNC

you'd think TNC would have come before the really obscure MHV and SHV but no

hijab ban 

I'm not seeing a lot of people talk about this so I'm not sure if you even know?

1. France is making the hijab illegal for everyone under 18 (in public. In other words, they're making it illegal for underage hijabis to fucking *go outside*). Hijabis also won't be allowed to accompany their children on school trips

2. Germany is making it illegal for hijabis to work in public office, like as a teacher
