yesterday a coworker made fun of me for being alive when chrono trigger was released

youtube didn't exist until I was well into high school

"hmm can't go to bed until I figure out what time to set an alarm for"

- me, upwards of 10 minutes ago

ended up taking a page from noctua's playbook: the low-noise adapters they ship with their fans have a 50-150 ohm resistor on the power pin

so I used an old off/lo/hi lamp switch and stuck 22 and 47 ohm resistors on it

it's ugly but it'll work until I can find a nicer switch

the plan was to print up a little backer board thing so those boards would stay in the same places but it'd look like they're meant to be there

unfortunately, this DC controller makes the fan motors scream at lower speeds in a way I didn't expect and probably can't live with

putting ferrules on 'em and everything

actually using red and black wires for dc positive and negative for once

I heard someone say something aloud today that made me wonder how you perverts think picrew is pronounced

I've hoarded a lot of filament over the years but I try not to waste it because PLA is only debatably compostable

also there's the time it takes to print something. and this printer isn't exactly dependable for a >1hr print due to the improvements I've made

doing iterative (FDM printing) design for a largish item I'll only need two of is kinda outta my recent wheelhouse
