Jim Henson's 'Time Piece' (1966) A crazy, surreal #cinematic #experiment in escaping the relentless passage of time. Let's go, paint elephants #shortfilm #animation #surrealism #time #video

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers at the University of #Tours trained #mosquitoes to associate the smell of #DEET with a blood meal using classical conditioning. 🦟

After training, about half of the mosquitoes attempted to bite a DEET-coated hand — compared to zero percent of untrained mosquitoes. The #study suggests that under certain lab conditions, DEET’s reputation as a repellent might have limits. ✋

Your Insect Repellent Might Attract Mosquitoes That Learn to Associate It With Food

Mosquito repellents are key to protect ourselves from mosquito bites and the pathogens they might carry.

Rob uit MAFS waande zich in First Dates: 'Ging me allemaal veel te snel'

Rob Visser dacht mee te doen aan een romantisch experiment in 'Married at First Sight', maar zijn avontuur kreeg al snel een onverwachte wending. Hij werd in het programma gekoppeld aan Sandra, maar dat huwelijk strandde nog voordat er een handtekening was gezet.

Mrkněte na pěkné a názorné vysvětlení MAGNETICKÝCH interakcí mezi kusancem hliníku (který je paramagnetický), železa (feromagnetické) a permanentního neodymového magnetu.🧲

Zmiňované "eddy currents" znáte z hodin fyziky jako "vířivé proudy" - zjednodušeně jak proniknou magnetické siločáry z magnetu do toho kusance kovu, vyvolají elektrické proudy tvaru smyček, které zase vyvolají vlastní sekundární mag. pole a taky teplo v materiálu, ale v našem případu jde hlavně o opačné mag. pole, které interaguje s původním.🤜🤛 …a to vede k zajímavému jevu magnetického brzdění pohybu magnetu nemagnetickým materiálem… …nu alébrž je to kusanec kovu s nějakým odporem, tak se vířivé proudy za chvilku utlumí a ztratí a vliv brzdění opadne.😵

ALE…a teď přijde ta vědecká magie🧙‍♀️…když matroš nemá odpor (vnitřní elektrický, ne ten lidský k učení😅), jako třeba supravodič, tak vířivé proudy nejen vydrží déle, ale prakticky neomezeně…a ejhle, máme SUPRAVODIČ a magnetickou levitaci (tzn. sekundární magnetické pole se neztratí a drží magent v přesně v pozici jejich vzniku).🤏

Takže ukázka od Dr. Jamese J. Orgila z The Action Lab ukazuje na ochlazeném kusu hliníku ten mezikrok, kdy odpor klesá a vířivé proudy vydrží déle a tedy tlumí víc…až se dostane k bezodpornému :) supravodiči, kde to drží furt. Myslím pěkné a názorné vysvětlení.👏

Sen o lietaní sprevádza ľudstvo celé stáročia. Najnovší experiment však ukázal niečo fascinujúce. 🪽

**A Simple Tabletop Test for Flat Earth Claims**

Distances between cities are well established.
Take four cities (Moscow, Kazan, Saratov, Voronezh) and all six distances between them.

Scale them (1 cm = 100 km) and try to build one quadrilateral with both diagonals on a flat surface so all lengths match at once.

It doesn’t work.

Conclusion: the distances are not consistent with flat geometry → the surface is curved.

---

### Summary

Real-world distances between cities cannot be perfectly reconstructed on a plane, which indicates Earth’s curvature.

Dear Friends of where the wind blows,

As we know:

- The climate changes. Rapidly worsening or improving by #age group and location
- For example In London, barbecues are all the rage for the can't sing karaoke generation
- The wind #changes and they roast like blue/black lobsters into a red skin mutant #weather #experiment

In other words I was reading about the effects of social media on brain frying and can report plebs and sheeple are nearing the level of the prevailing imperial rulers. No verification required? Ever.

I've purchased some silk, linen, and rayon to play with because some of the things I'm noticing are things cotton fabric is particularly known for.

I'm keeping my eye open for a light weight, tightly woven, plain weave, white or cream coloured wool. Because I think that would be very interesting.

Once I've been through all my fabrics plain, I might try pretreating then with something. Starch? Maybe an alum mordant as if I was dying?

The water soaks into the fabric very fast and wicks through the fabric in ways that don't happen with paper. Paint moves for either a longer or shorter time than I expect it to. Soft shapes are easy and crisp, smooth lines are difficult.

It doesn't feel like there's any way to lift paint back off the fabric. Though I have seen it flood and push pigment outwards, there isnt an edge where it stops like on paper.

Painting is slower than on paper.
