This is by far the best explanation of how vacuum tubes work I’ve ever seen. https://youtu.be/oHjZs0bNwEs

I was somewhat skeptical of multi-color prints on the Bambu Lab printers using the AMS but now that I've started to design things I'm trying to be efficient and I've got it down to a single color change after the first layer and there is no tower of wasted filament.

For these prints it's just a single layer of text on the bottom but I'm pleased with the very minimal print time it adds and almost zero waste.

A dear friend I’ve known nearly my entire life, who started her transition a few years back, just messaged me that she finally got all of her legal documents updated.

Give Julia your money. Her zines are absolutely the best on topics they cover. Distill what you need to know without a lot of nonsense. https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/112491176004693453

Mediocre white guy: I don’t know why you make such a big deal of abuse. I’ve never had an issue.

Me: <vibrates> you are so close to getting it.

mom had another stroke. a nurse put her on the phone after getting settled in PCU; she still remembers me but her mind is not working as intended as she struggles to get words out that make sense. this has been the slowest train to hell. watching her life chip away over a six year period.

Back on my bullshit in a limited capacity, doing some therapeutic stupid stuff. Today: which of the 7400 series chips are still being made at a vaguely reasonable price? Because I have Plans, and they involve quite a bit more than just logic gates and flip-flops.

The first time I got a DigiKey order of large stuff: "Damn! This giant bag is awesome! I can use it for stuff!"

The second, third, and fourth time I got a DigiKey order of large stuff: "Hey, another giant bag...."

The fifth time I got a DigiKey order of large stuff: "Sigh... another giant bag to add to the collection of giant bags I still haven't used yet."

Gonna go on a Mastodon sabbatical because I'm getting dogpiled on.

Someone even stalked me by email.

Stalked me. To let me know I'm "abusive".

Fuck that.

Something I would love to exist, and it makes sense to be in video format, is walkthrus of laying out PCBs of various types by people with many years of experience professionally. The amount I learn by just seeing how other people do things...

Amazing how eager companies are to "move as fast as possible to the cloud", and then they see the bill.
