my favorite kind of tool is a tool that makes tools
I'm fuckin traumatized from this damn movie
maybe give debian testing a go for a little more up to date software :)
i just upgraded to an AMD card yesterday because of the Nvidia driver nightmare lol
never used a Sony Walkman! so that's 1 point for me...
- 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
stardew bugs killed my dog
Hyundai is not the move :p
he's a lumberjack and he's okay!
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.
so my latest hyper fixation is modifying my mouse to be lightweight. i have a 3D printer so I've been printing parts and turning screws. I'm not even a gamer i don't need a sub 60g gamer mouse idk
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.
