01:46 AM rue_mohr: all the semis are bonded to the metal bottom plate tho
01:46 AM polprog: make an audio output stage from it
01:46 AM polprog: ah right, i forgot it has that
01:46 AM rue_mohr: haha
01:47 AM polprog: i mean it is a push-pull output stage, you could build some nonsensically huge DC-DC converter with it
01:48 AM rue_mohr: the switching times are ns
01:48 AM rue_mohr: a totem-pole with a LC filter
01:48 AM polprog: nice!

01:56 AM rue_mohr: I been super stressed the past few years
01:57 AM polprog: yeah, if you are not walking hungry and bare its good to take a small break
01:57 AM rue_mohr: employment insurance should keep me flying level till I'm into something new
01:58 AM rue_mohr: 41...
01:58 AM rue_mohr: I'm taking on a lot of new followers too all of the sudden
01:58 AM rue_mohr: one of them seem to be a bot for sure
01:58 AM polprog: or an account for sale that needs to look real
01:59 AM rue_mohr: from 2017?
01:59 AM polprog: yeah you farm them, they like random tweets, follow random people for a while so they look real
02:00 AM polprog: then you sell it to someone who needs an old looking tt account
02:00 AM rue_mohr: 5 years?
02:00 AM polprog: aged like wine :D
02:00 AM rue_mohr: wow

02:02 AM rue_mohr: and I'm dehydrating, I'm 5 lbs down
02:03 AM polprog: thats not good
02:03 AM rue_mohr: its annoying too
02:04 AM rue_mohr: I'd like to have a analysis on my followers to identify bots
02:04 AM rue_mohr: I'm sure i have 10 real followers
02:05 AM polprog: id say its more
02:05 AM polprog: i have a fucking thousand, why
02:05 AM rue_mohr: maybe
02:05 AM rue_mohr: bots
02:05 AM polprog: i bet max 50 are real people who are interested
02:05 AM rue_mohr: lots and lots of bots
02:05 AM polprog: the rest is just see thing click follow
02:06 AM polprog: i cant count the times i saw "[rando] liked your tweet" "[rando] is now following you"
02:06 AM polprog: cool i guess
02:06 AM polprog: then never see them again
02:07 AM rue_mohr: hmm
02:12 AM polprog: anyway im off to breakfast
02:12 AM rue_mohr: I also find it interesting how likes for a thread often go to the first item in the thread instead of what they liked in it
