OK. except it's really really good. They make it fresh and only take cash.
@futurebird Sweeney Todd. I'm just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most ice cream shops will give you a little spoon or wooden stick with a taste of a flavor to help you make up your mind.
I thought that was the whole point of having a "parlor" and not just going to buy a pint.

IDK. it's REALLY good ice cream.

"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?
@futurebird are the proprietors human?

Come to think of it ... "birthday season" *is* a little ant-coded

@futurebird sounds crazy but slight enrichment in the summer? https://www.panix.com/~murphy/bday.html

@futurebird Teachers get summers off, maternity hospitals get winters off.

I bet if you go back by there tomorrow, the shop will be gone, because the moon has moved to the wrong phase, or something.

@futurebird @tthbaltazar @mcc wow. Never have I encountered a shop that allowed tasting flavors without buying.

@futurebird Maybe they mean ice cream season?

@futurebird no, it sounds weird.

That would make more sense. I mostly went in since their hours are so erratic and I was shocked they were open on such a cold day.
But I thought I'd take a pint home and surprise my husband.

@futurebird my friend worked at a restaurant in college that had amazing food at insane prices. Really unpredictable hours and odd practices. Very similar vibe.
Turned out to be a mob front.

@futurebird Maybe it makes sense from their perspective. For them, as an ice cream shop, summer would be birthday season, because that's when people buy birthday cakes *from them.* They probably don't get a lot of people asking for birthday ice cream cakes during the winter.

@futurebird just realized you said birthday cake ice cream not ice cream birthday cake..... But maybe the logic still works.

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.
