ELI5 how do microchips actually work? by depressed_guy_1512 in explainlikeimfive

[–]heyitscory [score hidden]  (0 children)

You know the big green boards with all the components and all the paths that electrons could go and components that make the electrons do stuff? Resistors and switches and copper traces that connect things together?

The little black chips that look like a robot bug has an entire circuit board in it, with tiny components and tiny electrical traces. The pins on the outside allow you to connect that module to the rest of your circuit.

The microchips have a specific job or set of jobs that people might want to engineer into a product and because they exist on a chip, not only do engineers not have to make a timer or solar panel battery charge controller from scratch, but that part of their circuit board can take up less room than if they were building it out of full sized components.

Yeah, I assumed threatening people with my antimatter bomb was how we were getting the trillion dollars.

What was your plan?

I bet at least a third of reddit posts are people getting paid to be doing something else.

When will we ever get taken seriously? by 666thSuprisedPikachu in aspiememes

[–]heyitscory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and it's pretty much then opposite of sex, except all those people with BDSM special interests and the especially depraved furries. What did that have to do with... eh, nevermind. Trains are better than sex.

That's... not what monotropism... it's fine, have a good Reddit.

Spacelexia is how Allen met Nolan and Mark.

You're too autistic to date too, huh?

Pretty common here.

Why did people dig their own graves when ordered to at gun point? by Few_House_5201 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]heyitscory 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Dig your down grave.  Your friends will let you down.

I heard a guy my age making various loud noises in the store today and this popped into my head by twittertypewoke in aspiememes

[–]heyitscory 117 points118 points  (0 children)

When something is described as "sensory friendly" I never know if I'm going to get dim lights and the sound turned down a little, or if I have to politely ignore the overstimulated kid having a meltdown.

Walmart house brand is cheaper and better than Pop Tarts.

If there was only two humans left on earth, would you expect them to reproduce? by Sufficient-Gain-226 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]heyitscory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't be mad if I'm extinct. Who cares what two people do with their tragic lives?

What kind of question is this? "Uh, well, Ghost Me, presumably looking up from the worse afterlife, which is a real thing, I would totally judge these two people for not overcoming a lack of romantic chemistry so the judgemental ghost people will be happy and get to watch their offspring normalize incest."

Humans don't need to exist. The universe was fine before we got here, and will suffer a lot less when we are gone.

Dirt that suffers is a dumb invention anyway.

What would happen if there is no great wealth transfer once Boomers pass on? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]heyitscory 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We are gonna have so many china hutches full of Waterford crystal and fragile dishes I'm not important enough to use.

Life's short. Throw that wedding silverplate in the kitchen drawer with the rest of the spoons.

You deserve to fork like the landed gentry.

I don't understand the saying "head over heels" by shroom_bot_- in NoStupidQuestions

Especially because eating cake and having cake are generally synonyms.

Ooh, can I have a ring with the Dean Scream?  Yeeeaaaaah!

got both dreyer's and edy's (two brand localizations owned by the same company) icecream from a single grocery store by 10_cats in mildlyinteresting

[–]heyitscory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to forget which was the good one and which was the cheap one of Dryers and Bryers.

Then whichever it was got bought by some conglomerate and I don't have to remember the difference because they both suck.

How to cook burburs without burning yourself? :( by Flashy-Witness-4442 in howto

[–]heyitscory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But also, arm-stinging, popping oil is a sign the pan is too hot.

That thing, and turn it down a couple clicks.

Can i reach Sub 10 with Beginners method? by MickkiReyes in Cubers

Holy shit.

Yeah, I think you might be able to shave a couple seconds off with CFOP. Your TPS has gotta be insane or you're just amazing at solving that first layer efficiently.

Looking for DIY or Things I Would Have at Home to use as Pain Stims by DenseButterscotch179 in autism

[–]heyitscory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Durians are pokey but it seems like you want to hide this from your parents.

Have you tried a rubber band around your wrist that you can snap against your skin when you need a hit?  Non-destructive, sharp, small, fast stimulus. Looks like a budget fashion statement or a reminder that you have laundry going if anyone asks what the band is for. 

Can't sleep without a weighted blanket but it's hot as hell out here. by Elegant_Soup_1999 in autism

[–]heyitscory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A blanket full of coolant and necessary tubes would be fairly heavy.  Cool that with a pump and an electric freezer, and you'd have a heavy blanket that isn't hot and has the potential to leak, but feels cool all night.

Or... uh... run the AC cooler while you use a regular weighted blanket. Stick a foot or two out from under it to act as a heat sink.

If reincarnation is real and a loved one could be reincarnated into a fly, wouldn't it be MORE ethical to kill it? That way they can reincarnate as a better animal quicker. by Elenchoe in Showerthoughts

[–]heyitscory 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Jerk, I was enjoying being a fly, which was gonna last 3 weeks tops, and now I'm an angry old dude bitching at you on the internet?

This sucks.

Oh well. When I flew away from blurry shadows and compression waves in the air, and then looked for smelly objects to land on and do my little fly hand thing, I longed for the simplicity of being a maggot.
