You can also drive an LED with PWM past it's continuous current rating to get more light with less power on average because luminous intensity isn't linear with current.

Been following this for the past few days but the TL;DR a debut SFF created a bunch of sockpuppets on Goodreads to flood 1-star reviews on books that were debuting st the same time as her, while also 5-staring and adding her book to a bunch of lists. The artists involved (all POC authors) eventually worked out who did it and tried settle things privately, but when that didn't work they released the receipts. Author tried to blame it on a friend of hers in the Reylo fandom(complete with fake Discord messages where she confronts her friend) but nobody took the bait and pointed out how fake the whole thing looked. Author eventually "apologizes", blaming everything on a medication change and alcohol consumption. Is promptly dropped by her agent and publisher and now her book, which was getting a lot of positive buzz, has been pulled from the release schedule completely

Edit to add: one author she harrased so much that the harassed author took her book completely off Goodreads

I love it when people gently caress themselves over by cheating or trying to trip up others, and then it turns out they didn't even need to. Like they'd have been fine if they just kept their poo poo above board and focused on themselves. Maybe even have genuine interactions with their peers.

Also, and I'm going from memory of when this was brought up in a different thread, said author was known for a reylo esports fanfiction based on discord chats or ... something. point being she was already known for faking discord chats for fiction. also esports somehow, i haven't looked into it past that summary.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Okay, I hate that I understand what this sentence means, is there a lot of fanfiction where Rey and Kylo Ren are both in a relationship and also play the Star Wars equivalent of Street Fighter or Call of Duty at a tournament level?
