@Alistor or nine!

A thought, that we probably won't act on but would like to see someone act on: A collection of at least one example of every package in the JEDEC TO series. The popular ones will be easy, but when's the last time you saw a TO-99 in the wild? Do you even know what a TO-106 looks like? Because I certainly don't.

For bonus points, go with every known lead-count variant of each one.

@Balina This is unfortunately quite relatable today.

If we go a little while without talking to someone, it tends to get harder and harder to talk to them later, even if I know they wouldn't mind. But as time passes it starts to feel like saying hi would be too awkward, and that only feeds back in on itself to feeling increasingly awkward and less and less likely that either of us will work up the courage to say hi.

I don't know how to fix this problem. It doesn't seem to be present in group settings, like a group chat or a classroom, but one-on-one interactions just get progressively harder.

And then we start feeling guilty for not talking to the person in question, which is its own problem.

I wonder what the current rating on the contacts for a DIMM connector is?

@monorail Good! I tend to go for the elegant look, personally, but Felthry is definitely extremely cute.

@monorail What about quilava, though? Or vulpix?

The joule thief is really quite an elegant circuit.

@JulieSqveakaroo Well, we do go back together better than the average person!

@JulieSqveakaroo Ah, would that be why you follow me and Felthry, then?

@Doggo It's designed to go on a device in one of these packages. If you imagine that heatsink on one of these, it kind of reminds us of someone wearing a giant ridiculous hat.

@monorail What's a t-spin? I'm guessing a perfect clear is just a tetris that takes out the bottom four rows?

Turns out they make heatsinks for TO-92 packages. Felthry was cracking up when it saw this one the other day; it looks ridiculous.

You don't generally use anything in a TO-92 package if it's going to be dissipating any significant amount of heat, so I'm really not sure what the point of this heatsink is, but it certainly does look ridiculous.

@monorail Oh, interesting. I suppose that makes sense, but it also means you can't get five O pieces in a row and get a free line or two.

@monorail Hmm. We've never played anything newer than the original Tetris; what's the second bag?

@monorail The Oblivion one at least bears a little resemblance to how it actually works.

@unascribed Go with amtrak if you're able to.

@fribbledom I'd guess efficiency. Inductive charging is nowhere near as efficient.
