Since "real men" are not born during birthday season they must not exist. Obviously.

"Do you have birthday cake ice cream?"
"No! It's winter."
"???"
"We only have that one in the summer, you know, birthday season."Birthday Season?
Has anyone ever heard of this?
I've heard of birthing persons and chestfeeders, is it like that?

@futurebird no and that immediately makes their ice cream sus

OK. except it's really really good. They make it fresh and only take cash.

@futurebird I hadn't heard that before, but this is funny timing for me, because I just figured out that the existence of such a season would only strengthen the Birthday Paradox: https://mathstodon.xyz/@oantolin/116110824706836157

absolutely not. maybe it's a new corporate cost-saving measure. monthly birthday parties are a bit of a cost burden.

@futurebird
In the upper Midwest, I have seen menus that list"Chili (in season)". -
@futurebird wut
As if the December babies didn't already have enough complaints@dillyd @futurebird
That's outrageous! My birthday is in November. -

And when you grow them there are always too many.

@futurebird My birthday is in July, so I guess I'm good?

@futurebird maybe it's for the ice cream shops birthday not yours

Hilarious. Women just crossing their legs til June. Babies born at 14 months gestation.

With this shop... that would make sense.
They have a bunch of strange rules:
* cash only!
* you can only taste flavors AFTER paying for a cone
* they have milkshakes but won't put them on the menu and act like they are secret?And their hours are just... IDK. I went in since I just go in there when I see they are open.
Sometimes they just have two flavors, sometimes ten.

Oddly enough, "birthday season" is real, and spans late summer to early fall

What do we want?
Birthday cake ice cream!
When do we want it?
Year round! -

@futurebird yep. Born in February, occasionally reminded that isn't birthday season. I hate birthdays, thanks.

This place used to be a Carvel but they have long since gone "rouge" they do still have some of the signs up though.

@futurebird They may have just exposed themselves as an alien species with a limited breeding season.

Though Carvel is pretty strange even when they are a legit branch. My husband showed me some of their old commercials and I was surprised they put that to TV. Creepy stuff.

Btw, just found the v2 release announcement of @fedify and that is a prime example on how, on the grassroots environment end of the spectrum we can maneuvre into better territory.
Kudos to the #fedify developers. Handing people tools they need to focus on solutions, and build without getting thrown into deep on-the-wire impl detail reeds to worry about.
That is the positive side of the equation. There's not only a big uptick in interest for the #SocialAPI i.e. #ActivityPub client-to-server, which offers new opportunity to correct course. But also are there more #FOSS projects focused on robust tool and library support for the 'Solution developer' stakeholder.
In the revamp of the delightful commons initiative, made possible with support of @nlnet I emphasized all these projects, while I de-emphasized the apps that are already doing good for themself, but contribute to further divergence from open standards.

Inside a Compact Intel 3000 W Water-Cooled Power Supply
Recently [ElecrArc240] got his paws on an Intel-branded 3 kW power supply that apparently had been designed as a reference PSU for servers. At 3 kW in such a compact package air cooling would be rather challenging, so it has a big water block sandwiched between the two beefy PCBs. In the full teardown and analysis video of the PSU we can see the many design decisions made to optimize efficiency and minimize losses to hit its 80 Plus Platinum rating.
For the power input you’d obviously need to provide it with 240 VAC at sufficient amps, which get converted into 12 VDC at a maximum of 250 A. This also highlights why 48 VDC is becoming more common in server applications, as the same amount of power would take only 62.5 A at that higher voltage.
The reverse-engineered schematic shows it using an interleaved totem-pole PFC design with 600 V-rated TI LMG3422 600V GaN FETs in the power stages. After the PFC section we find a phase-shifted full bridge rectifier with OnSemi’s SiC UF3C065030K4S Power N-Channel JFETs.
There were a few oddities in the design, such as the Kelvin source of the SiC JFET being tied into the source, which renders that feature useless. Sadly the performance of the PSU was not characterized before it was torn apart which might have provided some clues here.
