22 Caliber CRAM


.22 Minigun
thompsonec8


Got to thinking about my idea for a 22 caliber CRAM and whether RADAR can detect small drones, and look what I found.


Drone Tracking Radar: Part 7 Longer Range and MTI Processing
Jon Kraft

Someone is going to put these two together if they haven't already done so. A drone traveling at 100 MPH can cover 50 yards in one second. Conventional (20 mm) CRAM shells are several hundred times more expensive that 22 LR ammo, which can be had in bulk for less than a dime a piece.

Alice Springs


We’re hiring – Civil Lawyer (Alice Springs)
Central Australian Women’s Legal Service

Another short video from yesterday's doom scrolling. Alice Springs? That sounds familiar, but where is it? Sounds deserty, and it is. It's smack dab in Northern Territory, Australia, just down the road from Pine Gap.

Megavalanche


アマチュアとプロの違い [The difference between amateurs and professionals]
やくちゅ [Yakuchu]

What is this? Someone's daily commute? No, it's the Megavalanche, a giant downhill bicycle race held annually in France and half a world away on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. I think this video was taken in France. Réunion has a mountain that reaches 10,000 feet, but it's in the tropics, so not much chance of snow.

It's jump rope, but half the time his feet don't appear to leave the ground. Pretty cool.

CT Scan Machine


Why is the sound so loud during a CT scan?

CT stands for computed tomography. It's basically black magic.

Digital DNA Sequencing

I guess we should have seen this coming. Silicon chip technology is down to 2 nanometers. Amino acids measure between 0.4 and 1 nanometers in length. Some people like to measure these things using Ångströms, which are one-tenth of a nanometer. That is, there are ten Ångströms in a nanometer.


Color Engraving


Unboxing xTool F1 Laser
ToolsToday

Witchcraft! Is this real? Seems to be. Didn't find much information about it. Wikipedia has a page, but it is very short and is not very helpful. Found this on MonPort:

Color laser engraving technology utilizes high-powered lasers to etch intricate designs and patterns onto metal surfaces. Unlike traditional engraving methods, color laser engraving offers the ability to create vibrant and multi-colored designs with precision and accuracy. This is achieved through the modulation of laser pulses to control the depth and intensity of the engraving, resulting in stunning visual effects on metal substrates.

Found this on Xtool:

In the first method, the surface of the metal is turned into a molten form using a very powerful laser. During the melting process, oxidation also occurs. The surface of the metal oxidizes due to the high temperature and reaction with oxygen. 

The melted material solidifies again, but due to oxidation, a special-colored layer is created on the metal, which looks like colored engraving. Therefore, you see vivid colors on the engraved surface rather than the normal engraving color.

Is a new president going to make any difference? One can hope, but I wouldn't count on it.

Diamonds

I did a post about making diamonds a while back so when this one showed up I had to post it. Looking over my blog I was surprised by the number of posts tagged with Diamonds.

Kamala Harris


Kamala Harris steamrolls Trump, shatters fundraising records
MSNBC

This video is from last week. I was surprised when I saw this, though perhaps I shouldn't have been. Everything I've read about Kamala tells me that she is an incompetent buffoon. Of course all my regular sources are all right-wing-extremists. This story on Forbes explains how she, or rather the Democrat political machine managed it. My right-wing-extremist sources tell me that Barack Obama is behind it and that seems at least plausible.


The Greatest Concentration of Power In This Country
Richard Nixon Foundation

Nixon is talking old style propaganda. The dirty commies, er, Democrats, have embellished their bullshitting skills so they no longer need to craft one message to appeal to everyone. Now they have a personal message for every group. 

I am unsure about Nixon. On the plus side he got us out of Vietnam. On the negative side he took us off the gold standard. On the plus side he opened trade with China which got us reduced prices on all kinds of manufactured goods. On the minus side he opened trade with China which wiped out our industrial base in the Midwest. Watergate made a big stink, but it was really no more than a tempest in a teapot. It kept the lawyers and reporters busy and provided entertainment for zillions of people. I suspect crimes  similar to those committed in the Watergate affair have been going on since forever. Nixon's only problem was his henchment were incompetent.

Samica


help me find this girl in red I just wanna talk
Samica

This gal is great. Yes, she's young, she's beautiful and she's definitely several levels higher than I am, and the stuff she talks about is like hearing about life on another planet. But mostly I think I like her because she is sweet, or soft, or kind or something. Okay, she's gawd awful good looking, and that's really enough.

High Five Wire Puzzle


Without magnets and glue, how can they be combined?
UINVEA

I've seen bunches of puzzle videos, but this is the first one that really grabbed me. Grabbed me so much I went looking for it. Constantin makes it, and Knobelbox is the only place where I found it, and they are out of stock. There is a four wire version as well.
