This game we're playing has a short section in an airport, and if you check a door that clearly is just a staff entrance for a booth, it gives the message "This is not the way to other countries."

something about that is just amusing to us

seen on stackexchange, in response to someone asking for word suggestions

this place here gives me a queer feeling and that's a good thing

maxim's models might be more usable if we knew more about how to use OASIS/SIMetrix but we've been using LTspice for ages and changing is hard because there basically are no industry standards for UI (specifically controls) in this industry

and i don't want a CAD program where scrolling the mouse wheel doesn't zoom

we had a scary thought yesterday

now that Analog's bought Maxim, I hope they don't start jacking up the prices of Maxim stuff

I don't know if they did that with LT or not because their acquisition of LT was before we got into EE, but we've always known Analog/LT for making good quality stuff with good documentation and simulation models for *everything*, but charging quite a lot for it

Whereas Maxim makes the same kinds of stuff with adequate documentation and simulation models for a lot of things but only in SIMPLIS/OASIS, not SPICE, but for less than half the price

good morning friends <3

we are kind of in need of some distraction, does anyone have anything cool they want to talk about or something

could use some emotional support or something right now i think

i want those nine hours of our life back

that feeling when you're several hours into watching a lengthy speedrun and the runner then references an extremely ablist meme

i don't think this is what they mean when they say a car is a lemon

bass

(the reason most of the other ones don't have anything in that column is because they're in packages large enough to fit the whole part number. SOT-23 is a very small package so it uses an arbitrarily assigned code that is frequently difficult to look up and often shared between many parts due to its short length. I'm surprised they even fit four characters on it, most of the time it's just three)

@patchwork aaa you keep deleting this right before we post a reply

NSUI has a database of boxart and that works but it's not usually the best
