never used a Sony Walkman! so that’s 1 point for me…

3. it rotates the graphite as you write so your lines are always sharp. it’s an absolute game changer and now i can never go back to a standard mechanical pencil

I mean, there’s no such thing as a perfect insulator

I’m well aware that nothing is perfect. i was talking about definitions :p

It definitely resists the movement of free elections through… But think a capacitor let’s ions flow, grease is a sort of fluid…

the two terminals of a capacitor are insulated from eachother but they can pass alternating current via capacitive coupling. I’m not sure what you mean about flowing ions in grease. do you mean electrolyte? like in a battery?

So I’m thinking it must be a material that let’s atoms move around to some degree, but resists the transfer of electrons

you’re describing electrical resistance :p

so to my understanding the ideal dielectric is a perfect insulator. dielectrics however have some free electrons and the ability to become polarized in the presence of an electric field. this has the benefit of increasing the charge carrying surface area in something like a capacitor.

so i think dielectrics are a subset of insulators and by definition do not pass current/free electrons.

It’s dielectric, meaning it is conductive depending on how you run current through it

silicon is a semiconductor! dielectric is just a fancy term for an electrical insulator.

:.dielectric grease is NOT CONDUCTIVE.

A man 🙏🙏

wrenching on my subaru :p during covid i pulled the engine. it was my first time ever pulling an engine out of a passenger car. i also pulled subframes and completely redid the suspension.

it keeps breaking, i keep fixing. symbiosis 🤝

i was in the same predicament with my asus Zenfone. they quietly removed the unlock tool from their website while i owned the phone :/
I’m currently on a Sony Xperia with unlocked bootloader and I’m shopping around for an os

ok boomer

well you can’t easily root asus phones anymore from what i understand. if these are your ONLY options id go for the pixel and run a de-googled rom.

guys how do i transfer my account to another instance?

probably: fake
definitely: gay

it would be way more work to swap frames

no big deal just the biggest tech innovation of all time

no fair my toes are crooked and i have toe nails that grow over eachother. i wish they were normal and marketable

fabricated and homosexual

Diane look at this snapchat filter Diane. I’m still depressed

60 cycle hum right in the ass BRRRRRR
