Your comment made me realize that used to be the same for me, but it's been years since the last time I remember being given a straw. I guess they're phasing them out

In Portugal, it's very common to find bananas from the Madeira islands being sold in stores, even in like our equivalent of Walmart or Carrefour.

They're like half the length of a Cavendish, a bit more tasty, but still very similar. I very much prefer them.

I know it's not as exotic as your selection but it was something I was able to eat regularly and pretty accessibly there

Man, I think I'd prefer that outcome. Getting laid is easy compared to finding fun people to game with

Ah, not to worry, even professionally it's very common to buy your wafers. I am on mobile data right now so I'll check out those videos later!

Basically, every single machine that needs a vacuum chamber - so almost all non-wet processes, like physical/chemical vapor deposition, reactive ion etching, scanning electron microscopy (although a good optical microscope will do if you're not at the nano scale... Which is almost certainly the case if you're doing things at home).

Honestly maybe I'm just too used to the lab setting and am underestimating how much you can actually do without vacuum processing. I'll take a look later: this all looked so out of the reach of an ordinary person that I never even considered following content creators who do this. Thank you!

Ah, no worries at all. Thank you for all you do anyway!

I love writing systems of all kinds, but besides Greek and Cyrillic (and my native Latin) I never really managed to dedicate enough time to memorize them long-term. All my Korean is gone and can only get like 30% of the Arabic alphabet now... It's something I'd love to invest more tike into, actually.

(to be clear, when I say Arabic, it's actually the farsi variation... only because I know a surprising number of Iranian people)

Wait, I work in cleanrooms professionally. Fabricating my own semiconductors at home always seemed like a cool idea, but really out of reach. I kind of always wanted to keep old machines from the labs I worked at, but with such expensive things they never threw anything away (of course)!

Isn't it prohibitively expensive and/or noisy? What type of projects do you do?

You're a very good person!

My mother's dog was a dog we gave "temporary" shelter to... Five years ago. She's 10 now and we couldn't be happier. She came to us from a very difficult home situation (her previous owner had just escaped from a violent marriage, and we think the dog might have been a victim too, but nobody was ever able to prove anything). She's still a little monster and she's still very afraid of everything, but there's no comparing how she was when we adopted her and how she is now.

I had an ex who lived somewhere where people often went to to abandon their dogs once they grew too old, too big or too aggressive. Her family also took in as many as they could: when we broke up, they had something along the lines of 10 dogs. It was very rewarding, too, as she got a good friend in each and every one of them. But it really hurts my heart to imagine that someone could be so cruel as to just abandon a dog like that, even hurt them.

It's true that barely anyone is into actually contributing, but I assure you a fair amount of people are into the actual open source implementations and are thankful for your efforts!

Any game in particular you contributed to that you want to share?

Which anime? I don't recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I'd enjoy

They're just fascists. For them to realize they might be the baddies, they'd have to think fascism was evil, which they don't. Neat, right?

I don't know if I trust your answer based on your username
