i suspect the motors are tuned to spend as little time accelerating as possible since that messes with reconstruction algorithms

on the CT systems i work on we start the motion before capturing radiographs, but that may not be possible in all medical CT uses

I honestly just always plug them into a meter

would you be able to post the original ASCII in a pastebin or something? I have a dot matrix printer, would be fun to have it printed for the event

ha, i think i may have seen you at their table

there were a lot of pretty well priced computers this month

Two gents in coats, ties and hats take notes before an array of parking meters. The image appeared as part of a 7-5-1936 Minneapolis Tribune article about mechanism tests of 10 parking meter models from five different manufacturers. The tests simulated several different environments, including heat, rain, dust and sand. Based on some of the other images in the article, I believe it was a Kemps ice cream plant. The newspaper caption: “And Minneapolis gets pretty cold, too, down to 33 below last winter. So Ralph Sprungman, left, and Vurn Johnson of the city engineering department took the meters into a refrigerator at a local ice cream plant and checked for effects of cold.” More from the article: “…two meters from each of the five firms were riveted to a board, and the battery of 10 were sent through the various tests . . . Members of the engineering staff kept dropping nickels into the meters during the various time periods and checked results.”

the fictional mermaidmyths.com from S1E5 of H2O: Just Add Water it has some mermaid clipart on it and a bunch of random text from a newsletter from the 1990s

recreation of the site Columbus reported that he saw three mermaids on his first voyage to the Americas. On January 4, 1493, according to Purchas, the admiral observed in his log that the female forms "rose high out of the sea, but were not as beautiful as they are represented." The creatures were probably dolphins or manatees, but Columbus, like other mariners of his day, was ready to see new marvels in every latitude. His mind was conditioned by medieval illustrations, fables, travelers' accounts, and astrological prophecies about unseen territories far beyond the familiar coastlines of Europe. The historian Arciniegas points out that Columbus's favorite book was Cardinal Pierre D'Ailly's Imago Mundi, a preposterous description of the unknown world by an early 15th century "new age" philosopher. If, as D'Ailly claimed, the lands of the "other hemisphere" were inhabited by giants, pygmies, dog-faced savages and Amazons, the seas around these could very likely teem with seductive creatures, half woman, half fish.

Gouache painting of a spaniel, beagle, and german shepherd. They're holding in their mouths a tennis ball, library card, and rope toy respectively. The beagle looks very proud, while the other two stare at them.

Happy National Library Week!! A great time to ask everyone you know if they have a library card.

An old gray bunny sits in an armchair, smoking a pipe. Around him are many old maps and maritime things, such as a compass and a ship's log, as well as a photo of the bunny as a younger man, in a captain's uniform. The elder bunny is happily facing the viewer, recounting a story from the Age of Sail

Daily bunny no.2917 has many a tale to tell

A bunny orders a giant, foot-long sandwich from a food truck. The sandwich, just completed by a bunny sandwich-maker, has a lot of lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.

I've written a new story: "I Helped A Stranger Fare Evade On The MBTA And Now There's An Elven Mage On My Couch"

when Rachel helps a strange pink-haired woman fare evade on a MBTA train, she doesn't expect to end up having to help a mage get home to another world

tough part is that for many home loads, the resistive losses at 12 volts for the amount of power they need would heat up the wiring too much :(

any particular advantages you'd be looking for with that?

some right-wing boomer comic where a guy turns the calendar to reveal the next month is 1984 or something I don't care. all that matters is that I removed many letters from his wife's speech bubble so she's saying "MARIO", meanwhile the next page of the calendar is an N64-era render of mario

happy mario to all who observe
