The alternative explanation is immediately where I jumped to halfway through the story, though of course one pin would have to be contacting the metal body somehow.

Or, otherwise, it was forced into being a really cruddy capacitor …

I have been trying, but there are multiple small shops I like using it that I can’t avoid.

😬 damn, sorry homie. I guess if it’s lifetime warranted, resell the replacements?

Not particularly relevant, but it’ll help you see through marketing dreck no matter how it evolves: Plasma arcs can go that high in temp, but has no effect on what makes something “hard” or “soft”: interatomic bond strength. I’m certain you know this, but carbon (as in the diamond) holds hands really strongly with other carbon, more strongly than iron to iron as in a steel spatula.

In theory, an actual diamond surface (not sprayed on, but grown) would be impervious to steel implements. But in reality, making a fully uniform diamond coating is extremely difficult, and thus tear-jerkingly expensive.

Spraying chunks of diamond onto a surface as the mfgr has done really means there’s a thin sticky coating on the pan before they start, so that these hot pieces of diamond partly melt into it and are “glued”. Safe bet that later is PTFE. That means when your pan is hot on the stove, the layer softens and you wind up eating little bits of diamond with each meal. One day, food sticks, as you’ll have found a spot missing too many diamonds, it’s just the substrate with a bunch of tiny holes to make food stick even worse than a smooth plastic surface.

All technically true & correct.

I’ll add that cast iron consistently works better for longer: My ceramic or PTFE pots start great, but after a while become so terrible they’re useless in spite of silicone spatulas etc. I cook almost daily, so I found the new tech pans fully degraded within a year or less.

Cast iron, I’ve car camped and daily stove topped, no problem. I season it once every couple of years, works great.

Nah.

Kinda embarrassing to come back this late. Good luck with whatever’s going on I guess 🤷

Alright, I voted prop 50 in, let’s get to it.

I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.

Then they become human ablating lasers as the tech keeps shrinking…

There’s positive tech stuff out here too, bud. You’ll likely need to look for yourself though, the recruiter reaching out to you is better funded for some reason.

For real lmao

True, but I guess I was hoping it’d involve some interesting machining to encourage growth in one direction or something.

Kinda like a bellows, for ex.

Same. Add family in too, I miss em.

Sounds a little… anxious. What’s up with that?

Fascinating. I wonder how that works, how titanium would expand when heated?

😂😂😂😂😂 fuckin’ A

I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.

Using the same wiki you’ve linked, notice the word “accreditation” as key to the concept of a professional degree, with which you’ll then note all engineers who graduate in the US must be. Yes, all. ABET is our accreditation body. Thus, we are professional by your own definition.

Beyond that, one can also be licensed, but that is already in addition to already being an accredited professional by way of at least an accredited baccalaureate.

Finally, I’m going to be a little rude here, this example of useless pedantry is particularly why I left academia with prejudice. It’s been nice educating you on these unimportant minutea, take care.

What’s that weird “bler” text? Several other strange artifacts here and there

Looks like AI
