going through tsa is miserable but at least it's also dehumanizing and inefficient and, proven by studies, totally useless :-)

does everybody want to hear a funny story about my Favorite High School English Teacher(™)

so my Favorite High School English Teacher was the faculty adviser for the gay-straight alliance and for a student literary magazine of bad angsty poetry, and somewhere in his spare time he volunteered to teach Troubled Youths at the place where my mom worked as a therapist 

so they ran into each other there and they like, vaguely recognized one another and were trying to figure out how they knew each other, and eventually realized “Oh! You’re My Kid’s English Teacher!” 

so he’s like “oh yes, I am, great kid, great student, we have class together and also the gay-straight alliance”

now. admittedly. my favorite high school english teacher should have known better than to tell a parent their kid goes to the gay-straight alliance, but I’ve already told you this is a funny story, so no harm came of it 

but my mom says to herself “hm. what is my kid doing going to the gay-straight alliance.” and she wonders if she should Talk To Me About It. and ultimately decides to respect my privacy and figures that if I want to tell her, I’ll tell her 

this was in like 2009. a solid decade+ has past, during which time I have come out to my parents multiple times, first for my sexuality, then again as trans 

and a year or so ago my mom—tearfully and riddled with guilt—confesses to me about this conversation with my Favorite High School English Teacher and how she’s so sorry that she never talked to me about the gay-straight alliance and how she wanted to respect my privacy but maybe she should have said something and it’s been eating at her ever since I came out that she never did and she wasn’t there for me about it—

which is when I stopped her and told her 

I was never IN the gay-straight alliance with my high school english teacher

I worked with him on the literary magazine 

and yet I was (correctly but too early) assigned gay at English teacher

If I put my fingers on your screen will it make pretty patterns like on an old TV?

>>: IF BY "OLD" YOU MEAN "CRT," THEN YES.

>>: I SEE NO USE UPGRADING TO LED.

>>: I LIKE WHEN MY SCREEN FEELS FUZZY.

>>: JUST KEEP. MAGNETS. AWAY.

>>: SERIOUSLY. ▮

Smash or Pass + Harvey Dent / Two-Face ;P

Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person.

"Little Goodie-Two Shoes Harvey Dent? Pass please, as in pass me the sick bag! Always scampering after Bruce like a lost little shadow, tch!" Roman hisses. If he hated Bruce Wayne, he hated Harvey Dent half - or twice - as much. Roman was never sure which but together the two rubbed him the wrong way, and all he wanted to do was find ways to get them into trouble back when they were kids. But then the attack happened, that day in court. Roman remembered it like it was yesterday, when Gotham's beloved pretty boy got a nasty wake-up call thanks to Maroni. Now he wasn't so pretty anymore, his good looks only half what they used to be but it had brought out a whole other side in the District Attorny, the one he knew existed if somebody poked and prodded him long enough. "Two-Face on the other hand, now there I might be convinced. And no, I ain't afraid of that mug, not when I look at my own every day in the mirror but Two-Face... yeah, he knows what's up. He's the one who knows how to have a good time without a care in the world, so I'd say smash if only everything he did didn't rely on a goddamn coin toss. Pass."

oh actually im too busy watching the tv show girls which i hate with a passion only matched by my hatred for the tv show barry. both of which were written by the main actor of the show and it could not be more obvious

Yesterday’s Crush vs. Today’s Cringe

A paint chipping away, prickly rust mounting on the surface, old memories are talking back, like a passage from a book. Today speaks and the scruffy hermit rolls the runes, dear Sammy, dear Chummy, and other dears come to the rescue. Come to his defense; the narcissist with a hero complex and erotomaniac tendencies. Today speaks. You are cringe worthy hermit-de-Locke! Yesterday comes…

Spectrum Engineering—How Expert Servo Control Consulting Can Elevate Your Engineering Team’s Capabilities

Engineering teams working with servo control systems face tough challenges. Fine-tuning precision, reducing vibrations and ensuring smooth motion control can be tricky. That’s where servo control systems consulting step in. Instead of struggling with these issues alone, companies in Robotics, Automotive & Aerospace, Military applications and high-precision automation can bring in experts to fix problems, speed up development and save money.

What Does Servo Control Consulting Do?

Servo control systems are critical for high-precision motion applications. However, designing, tuning and maintaining them require deep expertise. That’s where servo control consulting comes in. Expert consultants help engineering teams:

Fine-tune servo control loops for smoother and more precise movements

Eliminate system vibrations and instability for better performance

Optimize PID controllers to get the best motion control

Speed up development and bring products to market faster

Cut costs by providing expert help instead of hiring full-time engineers

Ensure compliance with industry standards in robotics, military and automation

A McKinsey study found that companies that improve motion control systems can see a 20-30% boost in efficiency and save up to 15% in operational costs. The right consulting team helps you get better results with less effort.

Why Custom Servo Control Solutions Matter

Every business has unique needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for servo control systems. That’s why custom control solutions are a game-changer.

Higher precision, fewer errors: The right control settings improve motion accuracy, save energy and reduce unnecessary movements.

Easy to Scale: As your business grows, your servo systems should grow too—without major redesigns.

Fewer Breakdowns, More Uptime: Poorly tuned systems cause frequent failures. Custom solutions prevent this and keep operations running smoothly.

Works with What You Have: A good consultant makes sure your servo system fits perfectly with your existing setup, avoiding costly compatibility issues.

Why Work with Spectrum Engineering?

The length of a day is determined by the Earth's angular momentum, the length of a year by the shape of its orbit. Gravitational interactions alter both of those things, they just do it so slowly that it's imperceptible on human timescales.

The most important interaction to the change in Earth days is that with the moon - we notice its tidal interactions most in its influence on the ocean, but they're interacting with the entire planet, and they're leeching a tiny amount of our angular momentum away into the moon every cycle. For complicated orbital dynamics reasons, the moon's angular momentum increasing pushes it out to a higher orbit, so over time the moon gets further away and the day gets slower.

When the Earth and moon first formed out of the proto Earth-Theia collision back in the early solar system, the moon was twenty times closer than it is today and a day was only four hours long.

(In fact a period later on where a resonance between the sun and the moon caused the day's length to get stuck at 19 hours for around a billion years may well be the reason multicellular life first developed, and the rise of oxygen-breathing lifeforms changing the atmosphere and causing the amount of sunlight reflected away (since that also affects the angular momentum) may have been what broke it and let the day start slowing down again, but that's another story)

Fantastic reconstruction of an Archaeopteryx I saw at Southampton Fossil and mineral show. It was part of an exhibition of fossil replicas exhibited by Southampton University.
