ugh cannot wait until the end of this week, finally won't have one project occupying *literally* all of my time.
<whitequark>
I've got oil in my turbo pump :<
<whitequark>
I'm considering washing it out with copious amounts of HFC-141b
<bofh__>
also how did I not know about the tungsten cube kickstarter?!
<bofh__>
er, don't they use that for cleaning electronics from gunk?
<bofh__>
at like 5%, even? and it works well
<whitequark>
no, 141b is banned in all civilized countries, with GWP of over nine thousand
<whitequark>
the duster cans are 134a
<whitequark>
the feature of 141b is that its vaporization point is around 30°
<whitequark>
and like all other HFCs it's a superb solvent
<whitequark>
oh wait, it's just 725
<whitequark>
I will feel less bad pouring it on the floor now
<bofh__>
oh, gas duster is 134a? for some reason I thought those used 152a
<bofh__>
though that might just be a replacement for it because GWP etc
<whitequark>
ah might be
<whitequark>
here, no HFCs orHCFCs are actually banned due to their GWP, though I think no ozone depletants are available
<whitequark>
probably just because they aren't needed anymore

unwritten API rules, episode 749: no matter what OS, the API used for serial port interaction will be unspeakably bloody awful
