 MTGRanger: Pachinko Ult
 Nigouki: duke nukem soundboard BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS
 Mathwyn: WHAT
 RatherLargeToad: cacophony!
phoenixletmeuseadashd: so thaaats why it was a little quiet
 RealGamerCow: pachinko parlors are SO loud.
 definenull: oh a pachinko parlor would be excellent background white noise
 Mathwyn: A WHAT WARNING PAUL?
 jacqui_lantern234: 
Despoiler98: wooooow lookit this
 Redbassist:   
 MTGRanger: No I think Alex hit one earlier
 MTGRanger:   
 Earthenone: who is running the LRR medal store  around the corner? beej?
 RealGamerCow: find the spot and jam a matchbook in the handle
 definenull: TOOB
 TheDangerWaffle: @MTGRanger probs not since it would have triggered what he is demonstrating now
 MTGRanger: @TheDangerWaffle ohhh I see
DigitalSeahorse: neato!
MechaKuuga: Cool
 TheDangerWaffle: 
DigitalSeahorse: 
DigitalSeahorse: hi TheDangerWaffle
 TheDangerWaffle: HEWWO!
MechaKuuga: "Prizes"
 RatherLargeToad: Balls can be exchanged for goods and services
 Cptasparagus: gold bars!
 RealGamerCow: Japan the home of loopholes
 Jillexie: And then there are the "prizes"
  Juliamon: It's not gambling if you exchanged money for balls, and then those balls back for money
DigitalSeahorse: gambling but not gambling sort of
 TheDangerWaffle: Until Dave and Busters can pay my power bill... lol
 Cptasparagus: my friend and I still have some gold bars from one
 SquareDotCube: red envelopes full of bearings
 Xafty: @Juliamon this is missing a step to fit the law
 accountmadeforants: And your winnings are all faff that's definitely not worth what they're paying. It's a wonder this totally separate shop is able to stay in business!
 TheDangerWaffle: LMAO
 RealGamerCow: and smoke 18 packs of cigs
artacuno53: It seems like slots with with technically mechanical skill (good luck with that though)
 jacqui_lantern234: gosh, this is a stream DIRECTLY up my alley
DigitalSeahorse: xD
 Stormgod519: lol
 jacqui_lantern234: lmao
  Juliamon: You Can (Not) Avoid
 MTGRanger: You can (NOT) re ball
 Mathwyn: Several castlevania pachinkos
KinkerbellRose: I remember that, 
 SquareDotCube: HIT THE LEVER
 MTGRanger: aww Juliamonn you beat me tit
 MTGRanger: it**
 Nigouki: hey those licensed anime pachinko machines get unique animation!
 MTGRanger: to it*
DigitalSeahorse: 
 definenull: more crossovers than fortnite
itmightbemikey: Konami still doesn't MAKE games, the license the IPs out to outside studios
 Redbassist:    
 MatzerKat: Opa!
DigitalSeahorse:   
 RealGamerCow: YOSH!
Despoiler98:    aaaaaaay IM ADDICTED
avi_miller: IIRC, properties like Evangelion brings in a lot of money yearly via Pachinko
DoodlestheGreat: My family used to have a pachinko machine back in the 70's. It was fun.
DigitalSeahorse: 
 definenull: oh boy what a treat
Despoiler98: SWEEEEET old tech
 Fruan: electro mechanical?
blind_will: yes. I would believe such a claim.
avi_miller: I love it
DigitalSeahorse: pachinko guts!
DoodlestheGreat: Yes, because that is what the machine my family had was.

DigitalSeahorse: make a wish on the voodoo pachinko
 Xafty: Ivan Miranda is being subtweeted right now
Morrigan9: so they loose thier marbles?
blind_will: @Morrigan9 
 ProcyonFlynn: @Morrigan9 
 Nigouki: something something people on the internet getting their balls jammed in unexpected ways
DigitalSeahorse: don't lose a screw!
DigitalSeahorse:  enhance
blind_will: I'd assume that the wins are queued by holding the winning balls in a tube and letting them through one at a time, each time hitting a trigger.
DigitalSeahorse: 
blind_will: nice.
DigitalSeahorse: very neat
DigitalSeahorse: neato!
 cyclopsboi: oh okay it stacks marbles to pay out it looks like
 MTGRanger: The videos Alex posted of this on his twitter are pretty cool
 Mathwyn: I'd be concerned if it was perpetual motion, and that we only use it for pachinko
DoodlestheGreat: These games took actual skill to play, as opposed to just whatever the RNJesus in the CPU comes up with.
blind_will: so does that prize queue pivot thing stay locked if the payout pool isn't full? I mean, is one of those latches thing attached to a the payout section?
 definenull: headphone users brace!
 MTGRanger: so satisfying
 teddywhosabear: dang, nice
  Juliamon: I spent many hours as a kid studying our pachinko machine in the basement, seeing how things worked
 BrowneePointz: god I love seeing the guts of a pachinko machine or pinball machine working
 Drasvin: Drain pin
DigitalSeahorse:   
 BrowneePointz: just absolute works of engineering art
 definenull: insert pun, drain balls 😏
 definenull: *pin
 LordZarano: Among all the themes of pachinko, is transparent to let you see the whole mechanism working one of them?
 Singenmeister: I just realized why this looks so familiar. When I was growing up, my late grandfather had this EXACT same pachinko game in his basement. I played it so much as a kid. 
DigitalSeahorse: nuuuuuuu
 DeM0nFiRe: uh oh!
 Nigouki: whoops
 Stormgod519: oh no
 neisan2112: Oh nooooo
DigitalSeahorse: um
 IanAllenBird: jkmhyumk
DoodlestheGreat: WHOOPS

  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
DoodlestheGreat: Been there, done that.
DigitalSeahorse: 
DigitalSeahorse: womp womp
 Stormgod519: oh Paul...
 neisan2112: Woops
ghyllnox: Oh no, Paul 
DaxStrife: Done that myself, to my shame.
  Juliamon: It gives you a tiny amount of control, which makes you think you have a lot of control
 Korolan: Mark Rober I think
 Mathwyn: If you want pachinko as an actual game, just play Peglin imo
 cyclopsboi: mark rober
DoodlestheGreat: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ArbitraryShakingShallotANELE-Mzmr9gyCGoU2TMbg
 Korolan: he did a whole video about it and other arcade games that cheat
 Korolan: (and how to cheat them)
blind_will: Yeah, but the digital ones are more obviously bogus. Because we know that the code can do essentially anything it wants without us seeing. Whereas the physical thing... it's physical - surely if we do exactly the same thing we'll get the same result. So the illusion is much stronger.

DigitalSeahorse: 
 LordZarano: Even crane machines, they have a dial for the owner to set how often they drop things
 definenull: the devs think of everything!
 Nigouki: first i thought the plastic would be on the inside so that glass isn't shattered by the balls. then I realized galss is on the inside because the plastic would get immeidaitely scratched up by the balls
 gualdhar: gonna be finding ball bearings at next year's Desert Bus
DigitalSeahorse: 
 TheDangerWaffle: I didn't notice that lol
an_archist2: it's a beautiful day outside
blind_will: but the balls are steel though, right? Not just iron. So the magnet would need to be pretty strong to influence them. (I wouldn't expect any magnet I have lying around would be able to pick the the balls.)
 definenull: fair 
 TheMerricat: Google says: "Pachinko machines take two pieces of glass for the playing field covers. The inside cover is a 1/8” plate glass (This is for sound insulation and to keep the balls on the playing field), and the outside cover is a 1/8” Plexiglas (This is to absorb shock and for protection)."
  Juliamon: With how quickly our machine's balls rusted, there's a significant amount of iron
 LordZarano: Since the 70s neodymium magnets have been developed, which are much stronger
 Nigouki: outside Plexiglass for gamer moments
 definenull: weirdly some of the nails seem to be bent… upwards?
 cyclopsboi: i cant even imagine how tuning those nails goes
 TheMerricat: https://pachinkoman.com/faq/ Appearently Google lifted that from this site, someone who sells vintage machines. They also mention the whole magnet thing.
  Juliamon: oh my god Twitch, just let people say pachinko
DigitalSeahorse: pachinko!

 definenull: oh.
 Nigouki: oh...
 cyclopsboi: they cant have any skill by definition
DigitalSeahorse: woop
DigitalSeahorse: pachink oh
YeomanAres: Tax on hope
 jacqui_lantern234: tax on the poor
 Mathwyn: A tax on the desperate and vulnerable
 cyclopsboi: games of skill vs games of chance are very specifically regulated
ghyllnox: Gullible, hopeful, and/or poor
 DrakoniteDev: Yep, I worked on a video football slot machine. It just had a bunch of premade clips rendered out of Madden and no real interaction
blind_will: That's not surprising. ... And it's very interesting that people still want to use them even with that info. Human minds aren't as strong as it sometimes feels like they are!
Master_Gunner: yeah, I know people who audit slot machines and the like - they are very strictly regulated to make sure they *cannot* be manipulated, by the player or the operator.
an_archist2: he was at the top of his league
 definenull: uh oh
ghyllnox: I worked a factory job during school and the lady I worked next to played the lottery every day, because winning the lottery was the best chance she had to pay for college for her daughter
 teddywhosabear: that just means your bag is extra clean now
 Mathwyn: That bag is gonna be so clean!
DoodlestheGreat: My maternal grandmother used to take the bus to Vegas on occasion to play the nickel slots. Always came back with a coffee can full of them.
 DeM0nFiRe: ooo
 LordZarano: Neodymium magnets: "General Motors (GM) and Sumitomo Special Metals independently discovered the Nd2Fe14B compound almost simultaneously in 1984."
 definenull: Deidre!
 Stormgod519: oh yeah!
an_archist2: deirdre!
iarethel0ser: O r b

 DeM0nFiRe: We will all ponder the orb('s circuitry)
  Juliamon: blind_will see also: the "bent corner pack" in Pokemon TCG Pocket. LEGALLY it cannot have a different outcome than the others, but that doesn't stop people from swearing by it
 cyclopsboi: playing the lottery in an office isnt necessarily a tax on the stupid or poor but a tax on how terrible you would feel if all of your coworkers hit a pool that you werent in
 neisan2112: This was absolutely the best one you've ever made Ian
maybe_games: advanced pareidolla
 MTGRanger: to me it was HAL 9000
 DrakoniteDev: that is indeed a breadboard
DigitalSeahorse:  boards
 JRandomHacker: _everything_ is a 555
DoodlestheGreat: Good old 555s.
 definenull: it’s always 555
 cyclopsboi: Interstella 555 timer
 BrowneePointz: Oh man, if it wasn't for allergies I should send yall some maple peanut clusters
an_archist2: all becomes 5
epsilon_vee: alol
 SquareDotCube: just means you can screw up 25 times
 LadyAiluros: Yeah I need LEDs and I am going to end up witj like a pack of 100 or soemthing
 BrowneePointz: you mentioned candy and it's winter and those slap
 DrakoniteDev: always good to plan on letting the magic smoke out of a couple
DoodlestheGreat: I wouldn't mind having a supply of those.
 TheMerricat: ":The 555 timer is named after the three 5 kΩ resistors in its internal circuitry, but the name was actually chosen arbitrarily by the marketing manager at Signetics Corporation.
 Hangedman: i needed to buy 1 arcade stick wire connector and it was cheaper to get 200 than to get any amount fewer
 DrakoniteDev: 555 was just the next number in the series. it has no meaning. the myth of being named after the resistors is not true
 definenull: just a lil bug guy
 Cptasparagus: is it even a timer
 Jillexie: The good ol' 555
blind_will: high-res, very blurry image.
DigitalSeahorse: can't resist a good joke
 shurtal: are they unbound?
 Drasvin: I had stepped away for a moment. Is Ian going to be making electric sushi?
 TheDangerWaffle: lmao
TreeGamer35: Horseman!
 shurtal: couldn't resist, Ian?
DigitalSeahorse:

 MalFnord: Christ almighty
DigitalSeahorse: cord colour coding
 BrowneePointz: yea the Venue workers ye?
DigitalSeahorse: woweee
 DrakoniteDev: hint: Black Brown ROYGBIV
 Hangedman: i'm a little late to the stream - how did they get ahold of a classic pachinko machine
DigitalSeahorse:  
 JRandomHacker: @Hangedman Alex can just Get Things
  Juliamon: Hangedman I also missed the beginning, but a lot of people just do have them
  Juliamon: multiple of us in chat do
wedge_x: sorry, trying to stop, &c
DigitalSeahorse: are not technically
 Hangedman: they seem like they'd be inordinately expensive and weird to procure, but i guess they probably didn't used to be
 DrakoniteDev: (i.e. color codes are the (western) colors of the rainbow
 electra310: Oooh, noisy
 SymphonySolstice: the real question is how many people opened another tab to search pachinko machines on ebay
 electra310: See I thought we were making sushi
 ButterBall000: I learned that with my videodisc player
 definenull: I thought we were making a sushi-themed pachinko machine
   LoadingReadyRun: I believe Alex acquired this from used victoria
 DrakoniteDev: Right To Repair o/
DigitalSeahorse: or you need a maintenence manual instead of the user manual
  Juliamon: "In 1975 several importers began flooding the retail stores in America with used pachinko machines from Japan. Mildly “refurbished”, these machines were sold through chain outlets such as Sears, Kmart, Pier 1 imports, The Akron and Woolworth."
KinkerbellRose: Heck, I remember taking my PS2 apart to clean the laser.
 JRandomHacker: If you want some really interesting stories of reverse-engineering weird electronics hardware, give foone a follow on your social media site of choice
  Juliamon: *that* is how a lot of people came into theirs
DigitalSeahorse: my fridge has a maintenance manual but not a user manual that I could find as easily
DigitalSeahorse: Scrappy Jack
DigitalSeahorse: by Joan Steacy
 TheDangerWaffle: @DigitalSeahorse Joan is a treasure
 BrowneePointz: Twisted...Twisted....Twisted Resistor!
 jessieimproved: your transistor, lightning resistor
DigitalSeahorse: she is!
 Drasvin: Are we making a new RDP button?
DigitalSeahorse: I use Future polish on my leatherwork sometimes
DigitalSeahorse: used on the earrings
 Nigouki: the one problem with Future is it will yellow over time from UV light
 TheMerricat: What's even weirder is that a lot of people who bought them back in the '70s just hung them on their wall as decoration they didn't care whether they worked or not. I remember us being invited to dinner at my father's superiors house and young me was so disappointed that the nifty game hanging on the wall wasn't functional.
 BrowneePointz: good ol bug shit
 electric_claire: I love shellac, it's my favorite wood finish.
DigitalSeahorse: lack bug
DigitalSeahorse: LACC
ghyllnox: Coat it with the bug juice
 electric_claire: I make it with everclear so I don't have to worry about breathing in all the shit they put in denatured alcohol.
 MTGRanger: Secreted resin you say!
 JRandomHacker: I saw shellac mixing on the video that Rob Scallon did with a luthier handbuilding an acoustic guitar
 definenull: the only reason I knew about lac is because of terraria
DigitalSeahorse: 
 darkpks2: nice view alex, thanks for that! 
 darkpks2: im excited for this build 
SaxPython: OooOOOoooh
DigitalSeahorse:  chopped wires
DigitalSeahorse: xD
 definenull: boooo
 Stormgod519: oh dammit Alex
DigitalSeahorse: good ol Uncle Fob
  Juliamon: TheMerricat I'm betting they were deliberately sold as decorative tat, so people deliberately bought them as decorative tat. It was the 70s.
  Juliamon: it was an "exotic" item
 Nigouki: wait, does that mean you can put the button next to your head as a resonant range extender? D:
DigitalSeahorse: I wish twitch could still make clips without making this video feed seize up
 DrakoniteDev: ESP-NOW would be another good option too (requires a second esp as a hub)
wedge_x: shortwave button
LaconicLad: My dad got us a pachinko machine in the '70s.  As kids, we played with it for a long time until we lost interest.  Then it was put in the garage where it died from water damage.
 DrakoniteDev: it sends a packet from one esp to another across wifi without connecting/authenticating to a network. I used it for some IoT stuff and it is both instant and can use almost no power
DigitalSeahorse:  play time over
 Strebenherz: Evening.  Did Alex find a whole pachinko machine to to keep with?
DigitalSeahorse: he did!
 Strebenherz: Tinker with*
 Strebenherz: Amazing
DigitalSeahorse: he keeps it in his hallway wall
 definenull: oooh
 DrakoniteDev: keyfob was a good drop-in solution
DigitalSeahorse: this pachinko is all mechanical
 definenull: so 1F?
 Strebenherz: Did he say yet where he found it/got it?
 DoctorHutch: @definenull yup 
DaxStrife: Great, I misheard that and I'm thinking about "1000xResist" again.
DigitalSeahorse: it was on one of the social media market places if his memory is correct
 Nigouki: the UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ version of the dance button
 Strebenherz: Good find
 Hangedman: old pachinko designs had the advantage of using little to no electronics, which is why a lot of machines are still in service in small JP towns lol
 mercano82: in parallel, 4 AA batteries are 1.5V. In series, 4 AAs are 6V
epsilon_vee: ^
 MTGRanger: Let the RDB comprehend Desert Bus
 cyclopsboi: then it blinks when people talks lol
DigitalSeahorse:  ads!

  Juliamon: Hey Paul, is there a way to fix the Say Hello to Gandalf song file? It doesn't play the full song, it cuts off at about 2/3 in.

DigitalSeahorse: wat
 SnackPak_: base
DigitalSeahorse: the based ghost pin
 definenull: why.
 Too_Many_Knives: #CheckYoDatasheet
 NotCainNorAbel: good things chips don't mind getting the wrong thing on the wrong pin
 Too_Many_Knives: I may have done the same thing
DigitalSeahorse: hard to clean up if you accidentally fuse two pins with the sauder
DigitalSeahorse: sawder?
KeytarCat: solder
  Juliamon: solder... it's in the stream name
DigitalSeahorse: solder*
 DrakoniteDev: basically two standards for TO2 size BJT transistors: BC* and 2N*. Main difference: pinout. because we can't have nice things.

DigitalSeahorse: okay I guess twitch can't even have more than 2 clips tabs open at a time and load a 3rd
DigitalSeahorse: mobile is making twitch stupider
 SnackPak_: you can make a synth oscillator from a 555 chip
 TheMerricat: https://www.555-timer-circuits.com/
blind_will: I believe when you connect it, it essentially 5-5-5s the input to create the 555ified output.
 DrakoniteDev: I like to think of the 555 as a dual latching threshold detector
 LordZarano: Fun fact: most 9V batteries are actually 6 AAAA batteries wired together in a box

 TheMerricat: "A flip-flop is a fundamental electronic circuit that can store and recall a single bit of binary data"
DigitalSeahorse: 
 DrakoniteDev: LoadingReadyRun the 555 essentially has 1 bit of memory
 TheMerricat: "Logic gates are made by combining transistors and other electrical components, such as resistors and diodes, and wiring them together. Transistors act as electronic switches that can be either on or off, or open or closed. When a transistor is on, an electric current can flow through it."
DigitalSeahorse: giant number of switches
 JRandomHacker: Anyone who wants to go _deep_ on this - check out either nand2tetris online or Nandgame on steam
DigitalSeahorse: lol
 DrakoniteDev: a logic gate is made of several transistors, and most electronics are made of bucket fulls of logic gates
 definenull: there're stuff like 4 nand gates on 1 'component', because nands do everything.
DigitalSeahorse: Alex may be referring to his discord server
 LordZarano: If you wanna learn how computers do: https://www.nandgame.com/
KinkerbellRose: That sounds fun.
 Strebenherz: 
KinkerbellRose: I loved Incredible Machine.

 Cptasparagus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky%27s_Boots
 Drasvin: Use transistors to make logic gates. Use logic gates to make calculations. Use calculations to make cat videos
 SnackPak_: nandgame is pretty cool for learning how computers work on a physical level
 JRandomHacker: And if you _really_ really want to go deep on this, do a computer engineering degree
DigitalSeahorse: Rocky's Boots are computer boot ups?
 TheMerricat: @JRandomHacker I don't think Nandgame is on Steam anymore. There are a bunch of nandgamelikes on Steam though
 Drasvin: Learn computer engineering to build minecraft in minecraft
 JRandomHacker: I was thinking of Turing Complete, yeah
DigitalSeahorse: a serial bus!
epsilon_vee: a thing what connects a bunch of things 
 Cptasparagus: "a distinct set of conductors carrying data and control signals within a computer system, to which pieces of equipment may be connected in parallel."
DigitalSeahorse: you can have a USB bus
 DrakoniteDev: a bus is a wire (or group of wires) that multiple things are connected to
DigitalSeahorse: YES!
DigitalSeahorse: xD
 TheMerricat: If you want "PC Builder Simulator" the Circuit builder verison - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198800/CRUMB_Circuit_Simulator/
DigitalSeahorse: now I want Merit
 Drasvin: And the data bus in particular is the set of wires that is used to send information between the CPU and different system components.
DigitalSeahorse: oof
 SymphonySolstice: yeah, all the cheap stuff was from Japan in that post-war era
DigitalSeahorse:  
nyoomgoom: there was a game called Widget Workshop that had logic gates. as an elementary school kid i didn't understand how it worked at all
nyoomgoom: then in community college i learned logic gates. so i went "wait i understand widget workshop now!" found it on an old game repository and had some fun
 Jillexie: "American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!"
 mercano82: There was a joke in Back to the Future 3 where 1955 Doc Brown looks at a blown piece of electronics and says “Made in Japan?  No wonder it broke.” Marty responds, “What do you mean, Doc, all the best stuff comes from Japan.”
DigitalSeahorse: which unfortunately means you get more counterfit foods like eggs in china
 BrowneePointz: a reminder india has overtaken china as well
Master_Gunner: Yeah, China is *capable* of making perfectly high quality stuff, but then it costs almost as much as making it in NA or Europe.
 BrowneePointz: in terms of population
avi_miller: Also, some materials for modern electronics just are mined in other places
 Cptasparagus: on LTT they found out that their chinese manufacturer was selling their proprietary screwdriver design without their permission, so they contacted another supplier to talk about switching and asked them to make a prototype copy. The second manufacturer sent a prototype BEFORE they recieved the plans.
 DrakoniteDev: Almost. A *lot* of the chinese fabs will try to cut corners, so you gotta stay on top of them to keep them maintaining the quality you paid for.
DigitalSeahorse: or perhaps that's a different problem entirely
 JRandomHacker: Also building a chip fab is _hard_. Intel currently uses a strategy they call "Copy Exactly", where they take an existing factory and... copy it exactly - even the parts that you think wouldn't matter
Master_Gunner: Yeah, part of the high costs of good manufacturing is actually building the close relationship with the manufacturers you need to make sure you get what you want.
DigitalSeahorse: makes it harder to clean those parts
KadmosTech: @cptasparagus reminds me of the Kickstarter for Fidget Cubes... Knockoffs hit the market (and we're delivering to N. Am. before the Kickstarter even delivered their first run
DigitalSeahorse: circuit boards seem like maths
blind_will: why does the capacity care which side is negative?
blind_will: capacitor*
drizztnailo: electronics has to be wizardry i swear
DigitalSeahorse: grounding literally
 Cptasparagus: @blind_will some capacitors are polar based on materials
DigitalSeahorse: 
DigitalSeahorse: light
letsbelgo: @blind_will Its internally wired to be like that
DigitalSeahorse: I saw a blip
 Drasvin: @DigitalSeahorse Most of them are. Especially when you get to actual computers. To a computer, everything is math.
 DrakoniteDev: @blind_will the way electrolytic caps are built causes them to be polarized. if you connect it backwards with a bit too much power it'll go bang
DaxStrife: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.
DigitalSeahorse: lol
blind_will: @Cptasparagus yeah ok. The super-basic description of a capacitor is basically just two plates very close to each other; but I guess in reality that are made of special stuff - and not the same stuff on each side. That makes sense.
DigitalSeahorse: yes!
DigitalSeahorse: fyi, I used posca for some of those DB earring parts to get a white enough base coat
 Drasvin: 
DigitalSeahorse: 
 Mazrae: Lvl 6!!!! You fool you are going to kill us all!!!  
DigitalSeahorse: 
DigitalSeahorse: heheh
blind_will: Oh no! It's a lvl 6 Killer-Ohm !
 DrakoniteDev: @blind_will ceramic caps are basically two plates. electrolytic are a paper like film in a tight coil with a gel
DigitalSeahorse: yusss
 JRandomHacker: I've laced all the cables under my desk. Deeply satisfying.
DigitalSeahorse: cable lacing I think is a bit like friendship bracelet making
DigitalSeahorse: if it's for servers or similar contraptions
DigitalSeahorse: we can now see the light
DigitalSeahorse: woop
DigitalSeahorse: 
Sk1nnee: is 4 on our side?
blind_will: @DrakoniteDev 
letsbelgo: 
DigitalSeahorse:  
 teddywhosabear: Sounded like a halloween scream box that needs new batteries
nyoomgoom: measuring tape goes brrrrrr
 Drasvin: Motorized tape measure?
TreeGamer35: omg alex... the sound startled the hell out of me
DigitalSeahorse: hhehehheh
DigitalSeahorse: I want one
DaxStrife: That is the chonkiest tape measure I've ever seen.
 TheDangerWaffle: LMAO
 Strebenherz: Amazing
 definenull: amazing
MechaKuuga: That makes a terrible sound

LaconicLad: I need one of those.  I didn't know it existed until just now, but I need one.
 jacqui_lantern234: i unironically have 4 good AAA's on me now, the only issue is that i fuckin LIVE IN NIAGARA 
TreeGamer35: i just charged a set of AAA's last night
DigitalSeahorse: there's probably more batteries at the moonbase
 LithelyUnshod: @jacqui_lantern234 Same but Kitchener
 LordZarano: All my AAAs are Eneloops, all my AAs too. They've lasted me years
 Cptasparagus: @jacqui_lantern234 I read Nigeria at first
blind_will: I guess if the capacitance is too high, it will still be lit for a full cycle, and so it won't blink.
DigitalSeahorse: Cptasparagus I misread a coin I found at the launderette years ago and months later reread it as Niagara instead of Nigeria too
DigitalSeahorse: my disappointment it wasn't foreign
 SnackPak_: 
blind_will: It's alive. It's ALIVE!
 Mazrae: Hold for effect
DigitalSeahorse: woo see the pachinko glow too
letsbelgo: is it?
blind_will: (and I was wrong about the capacitance thing I said. I didn't think that through properly.)
 SnackPak_: ooooo
  Juliamon: oh, so it is
DigitalSeahorse: is it?!
 MTGRanger:  
  Juliamon: it doesn't go completely dark
  Texan_Reverend: Extremely slow and brief dimming.

  Juliamon: there are now 17 competing standards
 LordZarano: Is it something to do with n-type transistors and p-type transistors?
 LithelyUnshod: https://xkcd.com/927/
 Mazrae: If there are 2 different ways just flip a coin to choose which one to use
 DrakoniteDev: @LordZarano nah, one series was invented in one part of the world, the other in a different part
 LithelyUnshod: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png
blind_will: But A4 has clear benefits over letter size... so that's easier than the transistor thing where its just a totally arbitrary choice.
DigitalSeahorse:  ding dong
 cyclopsboi: speed
 JRandomHacker: Yup supercaps are trying to fill the middle ground
DigitalSeahorse: or for smoke detectors sort of
DigitalSeahorse: just a lithium battery, not a capacitor
 Strebenherz: Wait, roads?
 cyclopsboi: a capacitor can discharge all their charge at a SUBSTANTIALLY faster rate
 mercano82: capacitors store power via opposite charge attraction between the two plates; batteries store power via chemical reactions.
 LordZarano: We put small incendiary devices in our ears even (wireless earphones)
 Brozard: Yep
DigitalSeahorse: and steam from cooking if you've forgotten to turn on the vent
 Drasvin: Depends on the type of smoke detector. There are radioactive detectors and also optical detectors
 DrakoniteDev: There are two types of smoke detectors. One type uses radioactive decay (usually americium), and the other type just use light
7gorobei: zinc copper
 rosesmcgee: The source in a smoke detector is an alpha emitter. If your smoke detector is emitting neutrons contact a doctor and the DOE
DigitalSeahorse: 
 cyclopsboi: anything that lets electrons off would work
DigitalSeahorse:   cells
DigitalSeahorse: AAAA!
 ContingentCat: secret batteries, sneaky
DigitalSeahorse: 
DigitalSeahorse: uhoh
 MalFnord: tricksy batteries, precious
DigitalSeahorse: one inside the part you took off?
7gorobei: AAAA batteries are used in active digitizer pens
Riandisa: At least you have a VOD for reference
 Lord_Hosk: On this side 9 inches up from the bottom
blind_will: If you repeated take it apart and rebuild it, you can build up enough spare parts to eventually build a second one. That's how they reproduce.
DigitalSeahorse: watch the VOD?
DigitalSeahorse: there's a screw missing from the side if that's a hole
  Juliamon: alas, poor sushi
blind_will: @DigitalSeahorse yeah, near the front, at the bottom, on the left side of the machine.
 Lord_Hosk: https://i.imgur.com/atmBznA.png
blind_will: and another hole near the top in the middle?
 MalFnord: Sushi is TTSF's version of HL3
DigitalSeahorse: I pointed it out there, oh
DigitalSeahorse: nm then
DigitalSeahorse:    in rod we trust?
blind_will: a bending robot.
7gorobei: bender bending rodriguez
blind_will: make a nice tent peg.
