I was born in the storm
A pup on the #cusp of frostbite
When you got no coat
shivering in the cold of night
your first dance with consequence
should make a lasting impression
if you bother paying attention
to the eternal relationship
between cause and effect
All we downtrodden
unloved
uninspired
so so peasants
of ho hum insignificance
have been collectively
elevated to the #cusp of mediocrity
by our oligarch king
who shares not only
our illiteracy
he makes us feel proud
of all our prejudiced tendencies
We worship his every
condescending utterance

Cusp:
🎵 Follow Along
from the album What I Want Doesn't Want Me Back
Cusp maintains a steady balance between their perky upbeat pop and fuzzy indie rock with a dash of shoegaze, keeping their focus on melodic charm and accessibility.

Cusp is a band that likes to go back and forth between a fuzzy though melodically satisfying indie rock with relatively minor shoegaze influences and a bouncy, up-tempo pop that projects a sense of lightness. They are formed around the guitarist pair Jen Bender and Gaelen Bates, led by Bender's vocals. When they kick into a grittier sound, they might induce a '90s flashback (a welcome touch of Pavement slipperiness, for instance). They maintain their pop appeal in those moments, actually, and generally do a good job at managing to stretch into a harsher tone while balancing a sweet and melancholic streak. Their songs stand out with respect to their songwriting, as the band continues to put together some memorable riffs and highly effective hooks.
Chicago's Cusp shares "Follow Along" from upcoming album "What I Want Doesn't Want Me Back" (Oct 17). Five-piece indie rock with dual guitars and collective songwriting. Solid production from Scoops Dardaris.
A cycloidal pendulum - one suspended from the cusp of an inverted cycloid - is isochronous, meaning its period is constant regardless of the amplitude of the swing. Please find the proof using energy methods: Lagrange's equations (in the images attached to the reply).
Background:
The standard pendulum period of \(2\pi\sqrt{L/g}\) or frequency \(\sqrt{g/L}\) holds only for small oscillations. The frequency becomes smaller as the amplitude grows. If you want to build a pendulum whose frequency is independent of the amplitude, you should hang it from the cusp of a cycloid of a certain size, as shown in the gif. As the string wraps partially around the cycloid, the effect decreases the length of the string in the air, increasing the frequency back up to a constant value.
In more detail:
A cycloid is the path taken by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. The upside-down cycloid in the gif can be parameterized by \((x, y)=R(\theta-\sin\theta, -1+\cos\theta)\), where \(\theta=0\) corresponds to the cusp. Consider a pendulum of length \(L=4R\) hanging from the cusp, and let \(\alpha\) be the angle the string makes with the vertical, as shown (in the proof).
