I guess I misinterpreted the intent of your comment, like you might have thought I was a flat earther. My bad.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 1 hour ago:
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

Not sure if you were aware of the meme, but I was making a portal reference, as in “the cake is a lie.” The image looks the same as the portals in the video game “portal.” The original context of “The cake is a lie” was to convey the message that a reward is being used to motivate Chell, the player character of Portal, without any intent of delivering. It was my attempt at making fun of flat earthers. I do believe the earth is round, that we orbit the sun, that the moon orbits earth, and that the moon landing was real.

Today, while I had the green light, had another car blatantly run a red light and almost hit me. I turned left to catch up with him, pounded on his window and told him he was a jackass. When he rolled his window down I recognized him as a state assembly member. Hoping he doesn’t recognize me when he eventually calls the HR office because he’s at the dentists office and doesn’t have his insurance card because he’s a fucking spoiled man-child.

That’s what crop dusting is for. Aim your ass into the little crack between the seat and window and let it rip. Stand up and eat a candy bar in their face. Bring your portable nintendos and steam deck and play that shit where they can see while they are back in their seat playing with a stuffed animal. Play with the seat, up down. Wait until they have a drink to fuck with the seat and try to spill it on them. Emotional torture goes both ways. Stay petty, friends.

- Comment on Disc drive needed 1 week ago:
I was in my first year of graduate school when it happened. When we got out of class at 11 am, I rolled up to my laboratory and it was empty. At around 3 pm, one of the techs came into the lab and was like, “Why are you still here, NYC is under attack.” No one notified the graduate students what was going on, and I had way to much work to be fucking around with looking at the news. The best part was, I was from NYC and most of my family was down there. I was pissed no one in graduate administration checked in with me to let me know what was going on.

The industrial containers I had the pleasure of producing and shipping could all be re-sealed for later (industrial) use. Are the options available for commercial use not able to be re-sealed for later use? As long as it’s properly sealed it can be good for 2-5 years.

The best part was being accused of being a troll. There is no sense in playing chess with pigeons, they just knock all the pieces around, shit on the board, then claim they won the game.

Microns, not milimeters. One micron in 1/1000 of a milimeter.

Love how you ignored my response to your response that provided a scientific rationale demonstrating that you don’t have a clear understanding of how thermal paste works, and you just doubled down on flawed opinions. Carry on friend.
- Comment on More thermal paste = more heat dissipation, right? 5 weeks ago:
Optimal thermal paste thickness (bond-line thickness) is critical for heat dissipation. The layer should be thin, ideally between 25 µm and 50 µm, which is roughly the thickness of two sheets of standard paper. The paste’s sole purpose is to fill microscopic air pockets between the metal surfaces for better thermal conduction. Source, I spent 6 months in a laboratory experimenting with and producing thermal pastes and insulators. I spent days cutting and cleaning copper squares, applying the experimental pastes, and testing thermal conductivity via the application of Fourier’s Law of heat conduction.
Q = kA(Δ T/Δ X)
Where Q is heat flow, A is the cross-sectional area, and Δ x is the paste’s thickness.
That’s way more paste than you need for 50 µm application.
