@AdriOfTheDead I'd edit that "ask me anything" list in future. It's not like anyone ever overlooks the word sex. in reply to AdriOfTheDead 03:34:29, 2013-01-07
"mistakes of nature" implies that nature has a goal. There are no natural mistakes, because a mistake is a human concept of failed intent. 03:42:27, 2013-01-07

Two candidate switches. One rated 50k operations, other only 10k operations. *But* 10k is 25mA@24v, 50k is 300mA@4v. 15:46:51, 2013-01-07
Same materials, same manufacturer, same range. And iirc, higher voltages wear contacts faster. So running 10k at 5v, should give ok life. 15:49:00, 2013-01-07
If you're curious, the switch is the MCSSS-12LG. 15:50:15, 2013-01-07
Aha! Platinum cure apparently needs exposure to air too to cure properly. So need to de-mould before full cure then? 17:24:18, 2013-01-07
So basically I need to stop leaving things in the mould overnight & remove them at the proper demould time. :P 17:28:53, 2013-01-07

I dislike insta-bounties in games for "bad" actions. Surely you should only get one if you leave identity clues or witnesses? 20:49:28, 2013-01-07
@ThrashWolf Failures yes, but not mistakes. Mistakes implies nature is goal-driven, IE; consciously designing creatures for specific tasks. in reply to ThrashWolf 22:09:09, 2013-01-07
