  • 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!





  • 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.






  • Out of all the ways I’ve ever been told I may have autism, this is certainly the most unexpected! At a certain point I should probably get a diagnosis.

    In my family’s defense, they did believe me as soon as they tested my hearing (after trying to trip me up several times, without success), so I never felt gaslit, I just felt proud of my hearing hahaha.

    Yeah, I didn’t mention this in my previous post but it was annoying, for sure. I would listen to this annoying noise, nobody would hear it, and I’d eventually discovered that somebody had left the TV on.

    That phenomenon is also something I saw, but never really gave it much thought, I just assumed it was just something our eyes did

    I can hear CRT screens. They emit a high pitch noise that nobody else in my family can hear, I assume most people actually can hear it but never noticed it. My family used to think I was crazy or had tinnitus (jury’s still out on both) until they tested me by making me close my eyes and tell them if the TV was on while turning it off and on at random, with sound off. It was a weird test from my perspective, since I could hear it fine anyway. So far I haven’t noticed a decay due to age, but if it had little use when CRTs were widespread, it’s now completely useless.






  • Reject EVIL ONENESS

    You know, one possible explanation is that the dude was painfully unaware of time zones and the time cube was just his way of justifying how different places can all have sunlight at the same hour… And the fact nobody questioned how the sun can be up at 1pm in the US while also being up at 1pm in like Australia made him think it was a huge conspiracy



  • I am a cis straight male (I’m also white so there’s more to add to my privilege)

    FUCK all of it. Fuck traditional family values, fuck cristian values, fuck “the sanctity of marriage”, fuck everything that is holding back a good life for a good chunk of a population.

    I love the LGBTQ+ community for what they’re doing in progressing society. Keep on being awesome


  • You know, as someone outside the US, I was pretty confident in this election. Harris seemed like a candidate that could stand against Trump in a way that Hillary Clinton never was. I had stopped worrying and even thought the people here were being dramatic in thinking Trump was actually going to get reelected.

    Well, there goes that…
