74LS is pretty nice for playing around with because it has a high enough output impedance that you can drive LEDs directly from it without resistors

74HCT is a lot easier to get now though

i do love that zero ohm resistors are a thing that exists

and that they're usually higher resistance than dedicated low-resistance shunts

you don't get zero-farad capacitors or zero-henry inductors, but you do get zero-ohm resistors

so what's with these intensely yellow headlights we keep seeing people have

hey @chr, do you still have that picture of Kai with the different lower bodies somewhere? discussion elsewhere brought it to mind and i want to show it to people if you don't mind

it does make sense though; they both do the same thing: dump energy into water to raise its temperature

it's just that the actual industrial boilers take it a step further to actually boil the water, whereas water heaters... don't

so boiler is a bit of a misnomer since no boiling is involved (or if it is, something's gone very wrong)
-F

the fact that some people call water heaters "boilers" is really weird to us

we mostly associate the word "boiler" with the industrial equipment for producing high-pressure steam, known for being *incredibly* dangerous if anything goes wrong, i.e. exactly the sort of thing you absolutely do not want to be in domestic buildings

it occurred to us in the car just now that there is probably a place somewhere where you could be giving someone directions and say "head west on northeast south street, then turn left onto wright street"

Consider a fox

they are glad you're thinking about them and would like pets

why is the alphabet in the order it is anyway
-F

hmm. there is vegetable soup, and fruit salad, but no fruit soup

why is there no fruit soup
-F

sticking stickers on the vegetable section at the grocery store that say "instant vegetable soup, just add water"
-F

salad is just dry vegetable soup
-F

cupboard in name only, for it is neither

headsache out of nowhere, ugh

today we learned: the same person who directed Resident Evil was also game designer for.... goof troop on the snes
