ebay.com/itm/184216346310?hash thinking about this bit of equipment in our lab, super reliable useful thing and not even loud at all like our other high voltage power supply is

that's a ridiculous price on the ebay listing though, we got ours for like $300 plus like $50 shipping (it's a really heavy thing)

@bj You posted a thing a week or two ago about doing art of people to get a little outside your comfort zone; I'm wondering, did you ever do anything more with that?

there are certain things that, even though they're not the specific dialect we speak, we still say when referring to certain things

like fish and chips is always fish and chips even though we don't call them chips here, and the ZX spectrum is the zed-ecks spectrum, even though Z is zee here

since it seems it is not, in fact, one of those things that everyone knows, just for anyone curious the answer is ↑,←,↓,←

we always remember it as just going left and alternating up and down between lefts, since there's no penalty for a wrong direction other than having to start over that always gets it done within 7 screen transitions, and we forget where it starts a lot

is it the case that everyone knows the way to get through the lost woods forest of maze in zelda 1 or is that just us

it feels like one of those things everyone knows by heart

where exactly did "governor" as a form of casual address for non-gubernatorial strangers come from anyway

it's a little weird (not in a bad way) to see a ton of people talking about how much they love this thing that we're just, completely 100% neutral on

i kinda want to play bloodborne sometime

as things are now we're using two high-voltage passive probes and one of the math channels on the scope, but this scope (like many these days) cuts its sample rate in half when you use more than two channels, and we do need to measure other things at the same time

you know what would be great? an oscilloscope with fully isolated channels and a gigahertz or so bandwidth

would solve some problems we're having because no one makes 1 ghz high-voltage diff probes
