<whitequark> by the way, do my anime musings entertain you
<whitequark> I figured they would, sort of like watching a rat in a cage would
<whitequark> you never get to actually know what's going on behind those red eyes, but watching it wipe its whiskers can be mesmerizing
<whitequark> I want to marry an endmill

<devyn> I'm really sad I missed this when it was going on
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Triodes. Tubes. Cathodes, anodes, filaments.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> loltetrodes(!?), apparently with negative resistance.
<purr> loltetrodes
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and ‘Esaki’ diodes, too.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Workfunction.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> approximately two dozen varietals of battery.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> differential signaling on ribbon-cables, plugged into, uhhh, I forget, but something like an abbreviation for “through-insulation jacks.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> a whole clusterfuck of Registered Jacks.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘Sputtering.’ Apparently, it's a thing.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (Oh, insulation-displacement connector)
<devyn> ELLIOTTCABLE: http://reddit.com/r/VXJunkies
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (which apparently cold-weld automatically, and I haven't the *motherfucking faintest* idea why. Google wouldn't help.)
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: wtf
<ELLIOTTCABLE> decibels, power, and isotropic radiators.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> a ‘balun.’ that's a real thing, guys, a *balun.*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lolol
<purr> lolol
<whitequark> you're into rf now?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> sorry. I've been ‘studying’ lots, the last couple days. My head hurts.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> not necessarily. I just don't know anything yet, so I don't know what i'm *not* into.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> > READ DOCUMENT
<ELLIOTTCABLE> > WIKIPEDIA ALL OF THE WORDS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
<whitequark> okay you know what I fucking hate
<ELLIOTTCABLE> > GOOGLE ALL OF THE WORDS YOU *STILL* DON'T UNDERSTAND (80%)
<whitequark> 0.2mm endmills
<ELLIOTTCABLE> > REPEAT ON GOOGLE RESULTS
<whitequark> it costs $15 and this one broke after about 20 seconds of work
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I still don't God Damned Understand electricity, though.
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: Horowitz & Hill, "The Art of Schemotechnics"
<whitequark> buy it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can *manipulate* and *work with* voltages, currents, resistances, and power; but I can't **think** about them.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> The stupid fucking water analogy doesn't work for me.
<whitequark> I dunno if it works for anyone
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gravity-being-potential-energy-difference, i.e. voltage, works a *little* better, but it's still far from intuitive for me, and breaks down terribly when I need to understand the fact that voltages apparently *change* in different parts of a circuit.
<whitequark> you'll just get used to it after some time
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but more importantly, I just haven't had the click where it works *without* any analogy, in my head, and until I do, every single goddamned word I read on any of these topics, is like slugging through molasses
<prophile> hydraulic analogy
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm really, really, really enjoying this guy's tutorials and explanations, otherwise.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dinky-ass little website, but the writer is smart, and *extremely* understandable to me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> By comparison to the, er, *three* E.E. textbooks I've had occasion to have thrust upon me, in the past.

<whitequark> "The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brainstorming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance."
<whitequark> it totally is.
<devyn> why am I trying to update my VM at school on shitty wifi
