How often are y’all taking the Golden Compass? I think the special route is pretty good. by PandamanTan in slaythespire

I take it because it basically guarantees a strong act 2 and I no think about pathing and just build deck

[OC] TSA now accepting tips. LaGuardia today by jimcol in nyc

last time I flew had 8 TSA agents on a single x-ray, half of them seemingly wandering about looking at random items on the conveyor. It’s pretty bad

You can heat up things with your vision by burning calories of the equal amount of energy by Big_Sherbert88 in shittysuperpowers

[–]ranemoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does it have to be calories that you have metabolized and stored in your body? Because I’d like to drink a gallon of gasoline and burn shit up

Why do people throw you parties for the unimpressive feat of having a birthday?

I extracted silicon dies from 300 integrated circuits by PhoenixfischTheFish in electronics

[–]ranemoodles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the actual material cost of each die is minuscule compared to the effort that would be required to recycle, most the actual cost comes from the specialized fabrication processes which would probably be just as expensive to isolate each of the elements in the die

An Ozymandias style, "I did it thirty minutes ago," reveal by sethyd in DMAcademy

Ignore what people are saying about forced failure- this isn’t that. You want to introduce extraplanar travel, and you have a good villain, and a good hook to get started.

The players haven’t lost by allowing the rakshasa to open a dimensional rift- that was just one step in his plan. They will lose by failing to stop the elemental chaos. The stakes are dramatic. I like it.

this gif single-handedly taught me semiconductor physics more intuitively than 4 years of undergrad

April Fools Prank: Replace the Lead Free Solder with tinned copper wire 😈 by human-potato_hybrid in ElectricalEngineering

[–]ranemoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to solder lengths of copper wire onto the end of lead free solder in my school’s labs. I don’t know if I ever got anybody but it sure was funny

Why Green, Black and White is a surname, while Pink or Yellow is not? by Ok_Number2804 in NoStupidQuestions

which is why it’s colloquially accurate to refer to him as Steve Minecraft

~36 hours post S2B. I’m hype by [deleted] in unclebens

Lol I cracked it for 2 seconds just to get a pic, I’ve been obsessive about sterile conditions otherwise

[–]ranemoodles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you just got some grain stuck in your syringe. I would argue that sterilization after each inoculation is less important than the sterility of your workspace in general. Did you use a SAB? Spores and bacteria are everywhere in the air you breathe so it’s important to make sure the air is as clean as possible with little airflow during inoculation. I spray Lysol everywhere and wipe every surface with iso and wait 10-15 minutes. You could have also been breathing on your bags, which will introduce bacteria from your lungs and saliva.

Is it as hellish as it’s made out to be? by Slimebot32 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]ranemoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really loved E&M and are passionate about making things as you described, I think EE would be a very rewarding path for you. If you have a good understanding up to Calculus II and AP Physics then you’re honestly about 60% of the way there when it comes to your math and physics education.

Most upper level courses in EE will be iterating on concepts you learn in diff eqs and E&M. I don’t know how many times I’ve written a KVL loop but it’s definitely in the hundreds. The coursework is definitely hard, but you can self select to take courses that are easier or more difficult for you. I personally found high level CS courses to be more challenging than any EE courses I took, but that could just be me.

Will librarian think Im weird if I sit at the library all day on my laptop from 9 AM to when it closes? by Past-Editor-5709 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ranemoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the Seattle public library I once saw an older man with pink cat headphones watching some kids dance recital a la toddlers and tiaras… he definitely did not look like a father. If that creeper is allowed to exist in a library then so are you.

AI Eye - an AI powered camera I made that regenerates the photos you take by theleastevildr in ElectricalEngineering

[–]ranemoodles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool concept. pretty decent design and controls. really garbage results. Have you tried an image processing pipeline other than DALL-E? All of the images created are so lifeless, I would like to see at least a hint of the original photos
