I really can't see a use case for such a small fan, but it's kind of cute.

Goodnight, all of you wonderful people. I'll see you in the morning!

for those wondering how to establish trade relations with crows:

- feed crows food A regularly
- when crows decide to bring you gifts, feed them food B
- when crows bring you different categories of gifts, feed them a food-per-category, ex: food C for jewelry, food D for paper money, etc
- crows will recognize these exchange patterns and opt to bring you things in order to acquire desired treats

good luck! 🐦

Wait, actually, there are no links anywhere in this email where you would expect there to be.... I think gmail might just be blocking all links due to it looking suspicious--and for once, I would agree with google that an email telling us we should sign up for the paypal credit card with ridiculous% APR is pretty suspicious even if it is legitimate.

I'm not sure why the screen-capture software turned the cursor to white, making it rather hard to see. It's over the first B of unsubscribe.

Is this even legal? I think this isn't actually from who it claims to be from, though it's a convincing fake if so.

I feel like we didn't get nearly enough sleep last night, so I think we're going to bed early today. Goodnight, all. 💙

Why is it that, if a cis person gets someone's name wrong and they correct them saying they prefer to go by a nickname or their middle name or something, it's accepted without question, but if a trans person corrects someone and says what their real name is, they get told they're wrong?

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.

mh, ~/-?, social 

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?

The joule thief is really quite an elegant circuit.

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.

The internet seems severely lacking in fun recently.

We need more fun.

PMD Sky is a great game, but why would you subject yourself to this?

I'm feeling particularly affectionate today. Lots of love for you all. 💙

> World's largest bee, lost since 1981, rediscovered in the wild

this sounds like there was this one giant bee who went missing because they couldn't handle the fame and now came back because they missed the spotlight
