I miss those days, part of the fun was making those contraptions. Go out to an orchard find the right apple and off you go. It was fun.

Surprisingly minimalist compared to the crazy contraptions we've been seeing. Still not buying it.

Happy last day of classes for the HS! My Science research students wrapped up the year performing the Egg drop lab. I love all of the creative contraptions they make to protect their groups egg🥳🧪

It was quite possible that no one in the universe had ever undone a zipper as carefully as Yeshua did in that moment. Free from the denim with its metal contraptions, he soon pulled the now familiar sweatpants back on. Soft. Far more forgiving than the denim.

Only problem I have with electric cigs is one day one of their contraptions won't work. Yeah, I smoke. Don't judge. You expect me to quit during this shitshow? I'm buying backups. Lost a backup for the backckup and a backup just died. Things you lear. Running a house. Down to 1.

my will to live is not strong at all and i constantly live with the fear that saw is going to kidnap me and put me in one of his contraptions because my immediate reaction to any potential crisis is to take my life instead of suffer

“Jigsaw actually took a lot of his inspiration from a guy in 1900 who made a few war vets run around wearing contraptions” is a really funny concept to be fair

Anthemius was well-versed in the mathematical and optical theories of his time, drawing from earlier Greek scholars like Euclid and Archimedes [pictured]. His work on conic sections—particularly parabolas and their focusing properties—provided a foundation for understanding how light could be manipulated to create visual effects. This knowledge was crucial for his experiments with optical illusions. Ancient sources, such as the writings of Agathias, a Byzantine #historian, describe Anthemius as a skilled engineer who created mechanical contraptions that produced surprising or deceptive visual effects. One famous anecdote involves Anthemius using his knowledge of optics to play a prank on his neighbor, Zeno. By directing sunlight with mirrors or polished surfaces into #Zeno’s house, he created the illusion of lightning or tremors, startling his neighbor. This demonstrates his ability to use reflective surfaces and light to manipulate perception. George Leonard Huxley in his translated work ‘Anthemius of Tralles, A Study in Later Greek Geometry’ Eaton Press, Watertown Mass., 1959 on p6 provides the Anthemius of Tralles diagram of light-rays reflected with a plane mirror.
His fascination with optical phenomena was not merely theoretical but also practical, as he applied his knowledge to create devices and effects that demonstrated his mastery of light and perception. Anthemius wrote his treatise ‘On Burning Glasses’ meaning to aid the construction of a surface designed to reflect light to a single point. Anthemius of Tralles primitive diagram (reproduction below) of light-rays reflected with a plane mirror through the hole (B).

Well that explains how the coyote could afford all those contraptions since he was clearly winning the races

doctors quickly realizing the majority of grace's injuries he sustains now are sex related. they stop making commentary on it unless its relevant and think it might be harmful in the long run-- sometimes even if it is grace just responds with a nod and the doctors sigh inwardly knowing he wont listen for the most part the seasoned team members are unbothered. they have to warn new people about what to expect but even then they're never fully prepared for what they see immediately upon stepping claw into the dome. they're all just 🪨👄🪨 looking around themselves because there's just so damn much of it. and a lot of the contraptions and devices are entirely unheard of to eridians, they have no idea what they're looking at. one of them is embarrassed to be caught out by grace once, who somehow manages to sneak up behind them, and offers to explain to the scientist how the sex sling works. they're shamefaced and mortified but yes they absolutely do want to know how it works thankusomuch they make jokes that at least rocky's engineering degree is still being put to some use and make idle gossip amongst themselves wondering if the two do anything else other than fuck.

.@POTUS Can we do away with these hellish contraptions? There are no birds anywhere! They are nowhere to be seen! Occasionally a bird will fly overhead. THE BIRDS SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW. WINDMILLS FROM HELL.
Earlier this year there were robbins, orioles, blue jays, blue birds, cardinals, and many other species. I'm looking as far as my eye can see in the wide open spaces, here should be birds , bobbing everywhere for insects and worms. There are NONE. WINDMILL FARMS EVERYWHERE HERE.
