what our scope uses 

the scope we use at work (a LeCroy WS4104HD) uses yellow, a sort of pinkish desaturated red, cyan, and green in that order, so that's kinda what we're used to

Tektronix and Keysight use the same colors, but in a different order (yellow, green, blue, red for Keysight; yellow, blue, red, green for Tektronix)

yellow seems to be the one everyone uses first for some reason

random thought: for people who have never used an oscilloscope (or at least never used a digital one), if you had to pick four colors for four scope channels to be, which four would you pick, and what order would you put them in?

(bear in mind that most oscilloscopes use a black background. but if you want to pick some light-theme colors too go right ahead!)

is there a meme about megaman 2's wood man stage and the specific phrase "nice >:]"? because we just saw a thing of its music and a lot of the comments were exactly that or had that in them
-F

a concept that feels very much like something @kobi_lacroix would come up with: a cervine deity with few remaining adherents, who manifests *extremely* excitedly to anyone who says "dear god", thinking they were talking about them ("deer god")

vague negative, not about anyone here 

i just want people to be nice to people and i don't know why that's so difficult for some people
-F

it would be nice if people would just, not randomly attack people for no reason

social kinda -, would appreciate some input 

a youtube comment we made seems to have gotten popular (just saying "speaking as an electrical engineer, this video is painful", on a video where a chemist makes a mess of wiring up UV LEDs and blows several of them and several power supplies--his attitude toward it is more "well that sucks, should have done more research", not like devastated or anything, so i don't think we misread the room or anything) and we have gotten several replies making fun of us for it and i don't know why?? i don't understand why people seem to be upset at us for it???

random curiosity: how did/do you pronounce the name Grant Danasty (from castlevania 3)?

we've heard a lot of people pronounce it like "da nasty", /də'næstiː/, but we always pronounced it like "dynasty" but with an "a" instead of "y", with the emphasis on the first syllable, /'dænəstiː/

zone refining is definitely exploiting a glitch in reality, right?

current events(?) question

-F

weird science fiction short story concept, ominous 

There is an oracle machine. It tells the correct answer to any question you ask it, without fail.

Some cosmologists ask it questions about the nature of the universe, and when they're asking about time, after "What is time?" and "Why is time?", someone jokingly asks it "When is time?"

It answers with a date and time, right down to the nanosecond, a date approximately four weeks in the future, and then refuses to answer any further questions.
