"They get a full-ride to $good_school, that's payment enough"

Only the greatest of the greatest players get full-ride scholarships. The majority of 60 or so people on a college football team pay for their own schooling.

College athletes should be able to make money; the only people who say otherwise are racist fans and racist school officials.

Re: Runes (Anglo-saxon) 

In case you're curious as to what it says...I mean, one, if you have the spoons, learn anglo-saxon runes! They're fun! And learning any form of runes allows us to take them back from the nazis!

But, if you don't have the spoons or must know right now, it says "Runes belong to the people, nazi scum!"

Any of y'all know what's going on with this resistor? Brown black gold gold black is a bit unusual. From what I've found I'm pretty sure it's a 1 ohm resistor (±5%), but I'm unsure about that last black band. From what I've found, it's either the temp. coefficient, the reliability, or it's telling me it's a wirewound resistor. Given this is a generic 5V power supply, I *think* it's the last one, but can anyone confirm?

if you think that you can’t be nonbinary because you think you don’t look androgynous this is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone androgyny. if you feel enby, you are, and i love you.

bear walks into a bar, says to the bartender "I'll have a......... beer", bartender says "sure, but why the big pause?" 

bear says "was born with 'em"

Well, I say in reverse. I passed 120VAC across it, so it would have definitely gone in reverse. And mind you, that 40V rating is repeating reverse voltage, so it can handle maybe 40VAC. If it's not broken, I'd be surprised.

Today in "Stupid things Kat's done":

I soldered some alligator clip leads onto a 5V power supply, then clipped those leads onto the plugs for the socket and plugged it in. Shortly after, there was a pop and a flash. It turned out, the negative lead had blown right off. It might have also blown the Schottky diode being used for rectification on the output side, given that the max reverse voltage is 40V and I might've passed 120V across it in reverse. Not sure.

misogyny 

men don't know how to love women who aren't conventionally beautiful without fetishising them

Fascists make absurd claims that are easily disproven. The facile nature of these claims is part of the tactic. Understand what they are actually saying:

🚫 This conspiracy theory is literally true and correct and you should believe me.

✅ I am a bigot and I can get away with expressing my bigotry in public. You should join me because it's safe to do so.

... so don't argue facts. Fight dirty and shut them down because our lives depend on it. Prove that it isn't safe to be a Nazi.

Subtoot 

I was gonna actually complain about something, but fuck it. I'm subtooting you. Yes, you. The beautiful one reading this. (Or handsome, if that more suits your fancy. Or cute or sexy or pretty. Whatever you prefer, really. But don't tell me you're none of those. Because you totally are.)

You're a wonderful person and you're doing a good job. Keep it up!

Love ya,

Kat 💗
