@Roh welcome to one day ago?

@PlasmaHH :)

@PlasmaHH Cinnamon roll boards instead of bread boards?

@ThePhoton I would need to investigate, but they look like standard white plastic ones ;)

@jippie how can it be morning 12 hours later?

@infinitesimal I'm a pilot on an airliner.

@jippie that makes sense :-)

WTF did my partial answer on the resistor binning question get +8? Wasn't expecting that at all.

@ThePhoton huh?

I just answered a part of a question and I keep getting upvotes for it. No idea why.

@ThePhoton the other way around is more common, answering a question in full an not getting any votes.

@ThePhoton What is it called when a resistor changes value over time, within spec?

aging?

@ThePhoton fastest gun in the west problem. But I have seen mere comments getting +20 and the real answer -5...

@jippie Its called "life"

@PlasmaHH No, there were already 3 or 4 answers when I answered. And I don't even have the most votes, just way more than I expected.

@jippie Sure, "aging" is okay. Maybe "drift", but I'd use that more for over-temperature changes.

drift, that's what I was looking for
