@fluxom_alt I'm really curious what was in that text file. Sixty kilobytes of plaintext is a fair bit.
@starkatt That is, if you consider the problem being on fire equivalent to it being solved, anyway.
@starkatt Any problem can be solved by sufficient application of fire!
@starkatt Then again, we _are_ getting a propane torch meant for soldering copper pipe together. Maybe that could do it? We'll have to see.
@starkatt Current thoughts are to try dipping it in methyl ethyl ketone, dichloromethane, a dilute solution of formic acid, or a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide.
Apparently, kaptan has a temperature rating of 400°C, so maybe if we could exceed that by a substantial amount, say heating it to 800° or 1000°, it might burn off, but lacking a high-temperature solder bath I don't know how we're going to do that.
@starkatt Polyimide is heat-resistant, I believe. It's the same material as kaptan tape.
We're only getting the polyimide one because it was what the manufacturer happened to have in stock, and getting exactly what we need would have meant a MOQ of over a thousand feet.
@starkatt Alright, thanks anyway! It's pretty specific knowledge so I would have been surprised if you did know.
Hey @starkatt, you seem like the most likely person to know out of the people we know; do you know what the proper method for stripping polyimide-insulated litz wire is? Considering it has thousands of individually-insulated strands I assume you're not meant to manually remove the insulation from each one. Is there a solvent to use or something?
No problem if you don't know, I just thought I'd ask just in case. I can't seem to find anything online.
@rey It apparently runs at 17kRPM, so I imagine it does!

I really can't see a use case for such a small fan, but it's kind of cute.
@esp It's probably related to how much you've been messing with your computer lately.
@fribbledom Oh, can I vote for assembly? As much as I think it's wrong to lump all assembly together into one language.
@esp Windows just Does That sometimes on non-OEM installs.
@emily That's a good selection.
@esp Sleep helps relieve anxiety. Unfortunately, anxiety also makes sleep harder.
