adventures in aerospace
So I recently started working at Large Aircraft Manufacturer. (LAM) The plant I work at employs 30,000 people. The company as a whole employs 170,000. Usually you only hear about LAM when something goes wrong. But no matter how bumbling it seems from the outside, it's way worse on the inside.
Three months after my first day, I have been "graduated" from "training." In reality, I'm still completely worthless on the floor: the training center has given me a paltry subset of the production certificates I need to actually to do my assigned job. A commonly cited statistic at LAM is that a hundred men a day are retiring, each one representing decades of experience, walking out the door, forever. The training center is in the unenviable position of managing a generational replacement, and have resorted to shoveling heaps of zoomers through as fast as possible. (As one of the few people with a visible hairline and who is not wearing a Roblox graphic tee; I am frequently mistaken for an instructor, and asked where the bathroom is, what time the next class starts, etc)
In theory, the training center knows what shop I'm assigned to, and can simply assign me all the required classes. In practice, they do the absolute minimum amount of training in a desperate attempt to relive the crowding in their handful of computer labs and tell graduates to pick up their certs later.
Of course, the irresistible force of the schedule meets the immovable object of the FAA. If you don't have the required production certificate to perform a particular job, you don't touch the airplane. Full stop, end of story.
And so the curtain opens on the stage. It reveals a single senior mechanic, supervising a mechanic who finally received all the certs and is being qualified on this particular job, surrounded by another three trainees. Trainees are less than nothing, absolute scum. At best we can fetch and carry. Mostly we are expected to stay out of the way. And the senior mechanic is only senior in title. He is one of six assembler-installers who is certified to actually work on the plane, out of twenty people on the crew, and spends every day with a permanent audience. He is 23 years old.
("Mechanic"? If you think the jargon at your job is bad, try joining a company that's a century old. Assembler-installers are universally referred to as "mechanics", despite doing work that's nothing like what a car mechanic does, and who are generally paid far worse than FAA certified A&P mechanics. Mechanics are the 11 bravos of LAM, grunts, the single largest category of worker. The tip of the spear. Hooah!)
Tumblr media
Large Aircraft Manufacturer is in a dilly of a pickle. All of its existing airframe designs are hilariously antiquated. It tried designing a brand new plane from a clean sheet, and lost billions of dollars to a decade-long integration hell. After that, to save money, it tried just tacking bigger engines on an older design without changing anything else, and the stupid things plowed into the ground in an excruciatingly public manner.
LAM is now trying a middle road. It is upgrading one of its designs that is merely middle aged, rather than ancient, and with proven, de-risked components built in-house, rather than scattering them to subcontractors across the world. And it's still blowing past deadlines and burning billions of dollars LAM really doesn't have to spare.
This is the program I've been assigned to.
Advanced Midbody - Carbon Wing has taken the bold step of just tacking on carbon fiber wings to a conventional aluminum fuselage. Shockingly, AMCW is now stuck in lightning strike testing, due to that troublesome join between conductive aluminum and conductive...ish carbon fiber. But LAM, confident as ever, or perhaps driven by complaints of its customers, has announced that full rate production will begin just next year. Thus the tide of newhires. According to the schedule, we're supposed to jerk from one wingset a month to one wingset a week. That's not going to happen, but, oh well, orders from above move down at the speed of thought, while reality only slowly trickles upwards.
"120 inch pounds? Really?"
I startle upright. I have observed one hundred pi bracket installs, and I will observe a hundred more before I can touch aircraft structure. This is the first disagreement I've witnessed. A more advanced trainee is questioning the torque spec on a fastener. It is not an entirely foolish question-- most sleeve bolts we use are in the 40 in-pounds range. Doubling it that is unusual. I cough the dust off my unused vocal cords and venture an opinion.
"Well hey I could look it up? I guess"
The lead mechanic glances at me, surprised that I'm still awake, then looks away. Excuse enough for me!
I unfold myself from the stool I've been sitting on for the last four hours then hobble over to the nearest Shared Production Workstation.
We do not get Ikea-style step by step instructions on how to put together the airplane. Like any company that's been around for long enough, LAM is a tangled wad of scar tissue, ancient responses to forgotten trauma. If you state a dimension twice, in two different places, then it is possible for an update to only change one of those dimensions, thereby making the engineering drawing ambiguous. Something real bad must have happened in the past as a result of that, so now an ironclad rule is that critical information is only stated once, in one place, a single source of truth.
As a result, the installation plan can be a little... vague. Step 040 might be something like "DRILL HOLE TO SIZE AND TORQUE FASTENERS TO SPEC". What hole size? What torque spec?
Well, they tell you. Eventually.
Tumblr media
(Image from public Google search)
You are given an engineering drawing, and are expected to figure out how things go together yourself. (Or, more realistically, are told how it's done by coworkers) Step by step instructions aren't done because then dozens of illustrations would have to be updated with every change instead of just one, and drawings are updated surprisingly frequently.
Fasteners are denoted by a big plus sign, with a three letter fastener code on the left and the diameter on the right, like so: "XNJ + 8"
To get the actual part number, we go to the fastener callout table:
Tumblr media
(Note the use of a trade name in the table above. There is nothing a mechanic loves more than a good trademark. Permanent straight shank fasteners are always called HI-LOKs™. It's not a cable tie, it's a Panduit™. It's not a wedgelock, it's a Cleco™. Hey man, pass me that offset drill. What, you mean a Zephyr™? Where'd the LAMlube™ go? This also means you have to learn the names of everything twice, one name on the installation plan, and one name it's referred to in conversation.)
We find XNJ on that table, and fill in the diameter: BACB30FM8A. Now we look up the spec table for that fastener:
Tumblr media
The eagle eyed among you might note that there is no "diameter: 8" on that table. As a LAM mechanic, you are expected to simply know that "diameter" is measured in 32nds of an inch, which simplifies down to 1/4.
(LAM preserves many old-school skills like fraction reduction and memorizing decimal equivalents like this, like flies caught in amber. Not least is the universal use of Imperial units. Many American manufacturers have been browbeaten into adding parenthetical conversions. Not LAM! Any risk at all of a mechanic seeing a second number and using it by accident is too great, and anyway, it violates SSOT. Lengths are in inches and feet, weights are in pounds, volume is in gallons and if you don't like it then you can go eat shit!)
After 10 minutes of following references, I arrive at that table, print it off, highlight the correct row, and hand it off to my senior mechanic.
"Great, thanks."
Gratified that I have enhanced shareholder value, I sit back down, and immediately fall asleep. Another day living the dream.

The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World
In "The Fabric of Civilization," Virginia Postrel explores how the history of textiles is akin to the story of civilization as we know it. As evidenced throughout her book, Postrel treats each chapter as a standalone story of its production and journey, all the while masterfully weaving it together to show the story of human ingenuity. While academic in nature due to its incredibly well-researched methodology, the general reader will enjoy the book's unique style and approach to world history.
In The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World, Virginia Postrel expertly demonstrates how the history of textiles is the story of human progress. Although textiles have shaped society in many ways, their central role in the development of technology and impact on socio-economics have been exceedingly overlooked. Attempting to remedy this issue, Postrel organizes her book into two distinct sections: one focusing on the different stages of textile production (fiber, thread, cloth, and dye) and the other on the consumers, traders, and future innovators of said textiles. To strengthen her argument, Postrel pulls from different primary sources across many regions and cultures, such as the works of people like entomologist Agostino Bassi and the accounts of disgruntled Assyrian merchants. However, Postrel goes beyond relying solely on books and peer-reviewed articles; she personally interviewed textile historians, scientists, businesspeople, and artisans who offered their own insight regarding the importance of textiles in the world. To help the reader envision the intricacies of textile manufacturing, the book is riddled with images that range from ancient spindle whorls and Andean textile patterns to nineteenth-century pamphlets raging over improved cotton seeds. It is quite a laborious task to explain the history of textiles, but Postrel’s way of organizing her chapters and style of writing does an excellent job of conveying her argument.
In Chapter One, Postrel illustrates the many uses of fibers and how their multipurpose functionality served its role in world economies. From the domestication of cotton in the Americas to sericulture in ancient China, such fibers left an indelible mark on trade and technology. Chapter Two looks at the use of thread's connection with social and gender roles as Postrel argues that dismissing fabric as feminine domesticity ignores its integral role in the social innovations that products like clothing and sails provided. Chapter Three connects mathematics with weaving through handwoven textiles by Andean artisans and in the notations written down in Marx Ziegler’s manual, The Weaver’s Art and Tie-Up Book (1677). Chapter Four explains how dyes not only contributed to the distinction between social classes, such as the use of Tyrian purple by Roman emperors but also the ingenuity of humans to ascribe meaning and beauty to a variety of colors. Furthermore, the increasing and competitive trading of dyes in the 16th and 17th centuries would eventually contribute to the discovery of synthetic dyes.
Textile traders and consumers also helped to foster cultural exchanges. Postrel then highlights how traders often also served as innovators. The implementation of the Fibonacci sequence in European trading not only helped traders with bookkeeping but also gave a new perspective to the practicality of learning math by helping traders understand profits and calculate prices. Readers explore in Chapter Six how the Mongol Empire expanded across many different lands for their desire for valuable woven textiles. Under the Pax Mongolica, the textile trade flourished as the Mongols protected the Silk Road, resulting in cross-cultural and technological exchange between Europe and Asia. Lastly, in Chapter Seven, Postrel introduces synthetic polymers like nylon and polyester, where the efforts made by scientists like Wallace Carothers, Rex Whinfield, and James Dickson have revolutionized the use of textiles. Companies like Under Armour use polyester to create water-repellent clothing. Despite synthetic polymers currently being used innovatively, many still seek to look into the future of textiles. As Postrel explains, imagine your pockets can charge your phone or your hat could give you directions. The future of textiles is incredibly exciting.
As an avid writer of socio-economics, Postrel expertly showcases her knowledge of the subject. Postrel’s previous books, such as The Future and its Enemies (1998) and The Power of Glamour: Longing and the Art of Visual Persuasion (2013), cover the interconnectedness between culture, technology, and the economy. Postrel has also worked as a columnist for several news sites, is the contributing editor for the magazine Works in Progress, and was a visiting fellow at the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy at Chapman University. This book is a wonderful intellectual contribution that feels like a documentary series, perfectly threading the reader through cultures and regions like a needle through fabric.

Bea's Cyberware: FlexxSys
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More publicity stills from the Arasaka press conference, at which Bea was displayed on the stage and ordered to contort into various positions and display its use in combat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(database template by @cybervesna, thank you to @braindancer for giving me the motivation to finally do this dang writeup)
I based her cyberware off of my own experiences with hypermobile ehlers danlos. But, I didn't want it to be magic, I wanted there to be consequences. It was implanted in her two years before the recall. By that point, she had graduated from the Academy and was in Night City as a Solo doing Arasaka's bidding.
If she hasn't protein-loaded before a gig, she will have chronic pain the next day. She also risks being unable to relocate via the cybermod and require manual manipulation. And, you can only protein-load for so long. After a week without an infusion, she will start to sublux and dislocate more frequently and have to relocate manually. The benevolent ripperdoc VIktor Vektor has given her free infusions on more than one occasion when she's been strapped for cash.
Transcript/more details below
In 2050, to compete with Rocklin's Extra-Jointed Cyberlimb and Dynalar's Extra Twist Joint Add-On, Arasaka R&D held an internal competition among junior researchers to develop a unique and innovative cyberware design. The winner would have their design tested and, if successful, added to Arasaka's cyberware portfolio. FlexxSys was the product of this competition.
The Flexible Extension System was designed to work with the user's natural musculoskeletal system. Twelve microcontrollers with spools of myoelectric nanowires were implanted into the user's major joints—the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle—on each side of the body. A coprocessor was then implanted into the brain with another spool of myoelectric nanowiring. Once the body was sewn up, the operating system for FlexxSys, BendOS, would engage and release the nanowires. Over the next twelve hours, all spools of nanowiring would connect to every single joint in the body. Not just the major joints, every area where bone met bone and was connected via some form of collagen was now connected to BendOS allowing the user to dislocate/relocate or sublux/relocate any joint on command.
While inferior systems required artificial replacements for all joints, the FlexxSys coprocessor would monitor and manage the body's production and use of collagen. Signals along the myoelectric wires would allow each microcontroller to bypass the body's natural, genetic coding for handling collage fibers to produce more or less than needed. This prevented deterioration and chronic pain as joints would, in a sense, be self-repairing.
With less than a year of research and human testing, FlexxSys was manufactured and sold between 2051-2068. In 2068, FlexxSys was recalled after a longitudinal study found that the body would eventually rely on FlexxSys for its entire collagen production and use. After two years of usage, the body could no longer produce and use collagen on its own, leaving the user relying on FlexxSys for their joint and musculoskeletal function for the rest of their life.
As FlexxSys no longer had a backup of the body's natural process to rely on, a protein-rich diet or regular enzyme infusions were required to fuel the cyberware, without which, the user's joints would begin to dislocate or sublux more frequently without their input and relocating would be more difficult—if not impossible—using the cybermod. Without the natural source of collagen, FlexxSys's joint self-repair was less effective leading to users experiencing chronic pain and eventually needing full joint replacements.

Greetings yet again folks! Before today's news i should ask this: what would you think when wearable tech is mentioned? AR/VR glasses? A smart watch? a pair of fancy glasses? nfc based products or was it something else for you?
what if i tell you there is a battery that is so stretchable and bendable that can be tailored between linings of your clothes now what would you think?
Meet the age of stretchable batteries people!
in that case i should mention when people of today was so busy with nonsense politics and rightist or leftist ideas there were quite a race between the biggest tech schools and companies for manufacturing this tech such as apple, samsung, stanford, Yokohama National University, zotach (japan based wearable tech company), sydney's UNCW, Australian research comity and more.. you get the idea..
so what is this tech in its core?
Tumblr media
basically building more softer and more long term reliable materials to replace our common daily use batteries
Tumblr media
in term of materials it nearly uses our common li-on batteries but these are mainly works like electrodes and often use polymers, hydrogels, and other flexible materials for electrodes and electrolytes. we can see in recent inovations include the use of stretchable conductors like gold nanowires or carbon nanotubes.
BUT what these mambo, jambo, wombo, combo means for public eye?
much longer active use time, higher adaptability, flexible form factor yet lower energy and power density.
for now this tech has been used in certain medical implant cases, wearable techs, tv's, and watches for now but there is some attempts to imply this in to textile industry recently..
and japan is seems like ahead of the race for now with Zotac’s VR GO 4.0 backpack
Tumblr media
this is a backpack pc and its power source is tailored between in entire foam/ fiber pad. this "pc" is specifically made for VR/AR and streaming which includes
11th Gen Intel Core Mobile i7-11800H processor, an NVIDIA RTX A4500 graphics card with 20GB of GDDR6 memory and 7,168 CUDA cores, 16GB (32GB maximum) of DDR4 RAM, an M.2 slot for storage, a 2.5′ SATA 3 hard drive/SSD bay for storage, three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.1 type-C port, DisplayPort, and a 12V DC outlet, all powered by dual 86.4 watt-hour hot-swappable batteries.
like i said this tech is still under developement stage and people still trying to make this tech better than other compettitives...
time will show us what will it gonna be turn out at the end..
lastly.. see you guys tomorrow...

Project Blue Beam
Tumblr media
Nasa has been working on aircraft that are real, but will become a part of the Global Holographic Alien Invasion/Light show. This may also include a staged 2nd coming of historical fugures; such as Jesus or Mohammed or Krishna.
BLUE BEAM Has 4 Steps:
Step 1
The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaeological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new "discoveries" will finally explain that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are wrong. This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. For example, in the entertainment/movie industry, a falsification started with the film(s) 2001: A Space Odyssey, the TV-series Star Trek, the Star Wars films, and E.T., all of which deal with space invasion and protection. Another movie example is Jurassic Park which was released to push the Theory of Evolution.
Step 2
The second step deals with the gigantic space show: 3D optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images in different parts of the world, each receiving a different image, according to its predetermined original national religious faith. This new "god" image will talk in all languages. As an example, the Soviets have manufactured the advanced computers and have programmed them with the Minute Psychological Particles based upon their studies of the anatomy and biology of the human body, as well as their studies on the anatomy, chemistry and electricity of the human brain. These computers have also been fed with the different languages of the world.
Step 3
The third step deals with telepathic electronic two-way communication, where ELF(Extra Low Frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency), and LF (Low Frequency) waves will reach the people of the Earth through the insides of their brains, making each person believe that his own God is speaking to him from within his own soul. Such rays, from satellites, are fed from the memory of computers that store much data about the human being and his languages. These rays will then interlace and interweave with the natural thinking processes to form what is called Artificial Talk.
Step 4
The fourth step involves universal supernatural manifestations using electronic means. This step contains three different orientations:
The first one is to make mankind believe that an Alien Invasion is about to occur upon every major city on the earth. This is to push each major nation into using its nuclear capability to strike back. In this manner, it would put each of these nations in a state of full disarmament before the United Nations after the false attack.
The second is to make the vast Christian population believe that a major rapture is occurring, with a simple, orchestrated, divine intervention of an alleged "good" alien force coming to save the good people from a brutal satanic attack. Its goal is to get rid of all significant opposition to the New World Order.
The third orientation is a mixture of electronic and supernatural forces. The waves or frequencies used at that time will allow supernatural forces to travel through fiber optics cable, coaxial cable, electric and telephone lines in order to penetrate all electronic equipment and appliances that will by then all have a special microchip installed. The goal of this step deals with the materialization of satanic ghosts, spectres, and poltergeists all across the globe in order to push all populations to the edge of a wave of suicide, killing and permanent psychological disorder. After that night, humanity is believed to be ready for them to enter in a "New" Messiah to re-establish peace everywhere at any cost, even at the cost of their freedom.

Prints and Patterns
A light on Prints & Patterns.
The patterns on a fabric just put colors on are definitely not woven into fabric. called Prints. These are found in several types like, customized shapes, colors, lines, etc. and in the form of objectives as well. The work of art made in multiple iterations, created through a transfer process. The word “Print” is derived from the Old French word for “Impression,” it makes a product look different from its own origin. It has the power to grasp the attention of someone towards it. When prints and patterns work together it gives a hard on its final  project. Nowadays, people are using most commonly made from an acrylic polymer.
Why are Prints important?
Printing is used not merely for books and newspapers but  as the time flies it is also used for textiles, plates, wallpaper, packaging, and billboards. Several studies have concluded that people simply absorb content better when it's presented on a page, rather than a screen. This is why some college students are reluctant to use PDF versions of their textbooks; reading printed material somehow allows for higher brain function and better information retention. These designs can be simple or super detailed, but they all have the same goal: to make the fabric look even more amazing! Due to some eye-catching prints and patterns, clothes become more appealing to customers, grabbing their attention and making them want to take a closer look. Printing on fabric plays a crucial role in the fashion industry, being a method for applying designs, patterns, or images to fabrics. Textile printing offers a wide range of design options, allowing clothing manufacturers to create a variety of unique Styles, Prints and  Patterns, and Colors of Fashion.
Tumblr media
Why are Patterns important?
In the garment industry, patterns are used in order to cut the fabric pieces and to make the garment. Patterns are essentially made so that the same style can be easily duplicated when it is needed and multiple pieces can be efficiently made. Improved quality: Patterns can help to ensure that garments are made to the desired specifications, which can lead to improved quality and customer satisfaction. Prints and  Patterns making is the process of creating a blueprint of your garment. A pattern is used as a template to cut out fabric that matches the required specifications to sew a garment. Its factors in the type of fabric, the intended fit on the wearer, and any trims that will be used. Prints  and Patterns on a fabric makes a plain to be creative.
Final product as printed fabric? 
Generally, the finishing process includes three basic stages: washing and drying, stabilizing, and pressing. In addition, some fabrics are then treated to make them anti-static, water repellent, or flame retardant. Many methods applied to fabrics in these stages are very specialized and we can't discuss them all. Definitely, after applying Prints and Patterns on chic indicates customization of fabric then that fabric is processed further for next processes like cutting and stitching.
Tumblr media
Addition of Tie & Dye in fabric:- 
Tie & Dye is a term used to describe a number of resist dyeing techniques and the resulting dyed products of these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment, before binding with string or rubber bands, followed by the application of dye or dyes. Textile printing is the process of applying color to fabric in definite prints and patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the color is bonded with the fiber, so as to resist washing and friction. In golden era, people were using natural objects to paint the garments i.e. Leaves, Vegetables, Stones, etc. Nevertheless, Tie and Dye fabrics are included in Rajasthani cultural traditions. Moreover, due to Social media, people are connecting globally and sharing their ideas of painting, prints and patterns to give an elegant look to their final outfits.
Tumblr media
Prints and its historical background:- 
Printing blocks have been discovered that date back to around 3000 B.C." Fabric painting remained popular on the continent, and by the time Alexander the Great invaded India (327 B.C.), fabrics full of colorful printed and painted images were a normal possession among the people. There are several thighs to disclose about the past of prints but our main topic is just for the usage of prints and patterns.
Motifs and Prints:- 
A motif is a repeated idea, pattern, image, or theme. In the textile arts, a motif is also called a block or square which is a smaller element in a much larger work. Motifs can be any size, but usually all the motifs in any given work are the same size. There are types of motifs which are defined as:
Symbolic Motifs: These motifs take the form of symbols that represent a larger idea or theme.
Conceptual Motifs: These motifs are built around a particular concept or idea that recurs in the story.
Structural Motifs: These motifs are repeated patterns or structures in the story.
Tumblr media
Types of Prints in fabric:- 
There are several types of the prints and patterns in the fabric but the majorly are in used are mentioned ahead:- 
Boho Prints:- Boho style is a free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with an emphasis on organic elements and nature. When putting together your boho style space, mixing patterns, metals, woods, materials, animal hides and trinkets from your travels is highly encouraged. 
Tumblr media
Screen Prints:- Screen Printing is a process where ink is forced through a mesh screen onto a surface. Making certain areas of the screen impervious to printing ink creates a stencil, which blocks the printing ink from passing through the screen. The ink that passes through forms the printed image.
Block Printing:- A printing block is sometimes called a printmaking block, a wood block or a block. You can also refer to one simply as a printing block.
Tumblr media
Animal Printing:- Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur, feathers or scales of animals such as a leopard, zebra, giraffe, tiger or cow.
Tumblr media
Batik Prints:- Batik is an Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the whole cloth. This technique originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of wax with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the wax with a copper stamp called a cap.
Tumblr media
Rest there are several prints and patterns which can be used by us, on a daily basis but we are not aware about it. But we should know which prints are suitable for your eyes and your comfort. Rest we are always here to help you out and provide you best opinion as always.

Things I learned in Forensic Science (off the top of my head)
Rigor Mortis isn't constant. It takes time for the body to stiffen up, the after a few hours it loosens up again.
The temperature of the body slowly lowers. The temp, combined with the stage of Rigor Mortis can give you an estimated time of death.
Some insects can smell dead bodies from about 10 miles (yes I know, wtf) away.
The insects that feed on the dead often have symbiotic relationships. (The bug friends help each other) (They are VERY gross)
Dead bodies decompose faster if 1. The humidity is high and/or 2. The temperature is high. This makes a jungle (or the ocean, I guess) the best place to hide a body.
If you want a foolproof process, the least amount of (the killer's) hairs you want is 30. You can find out who it is from fewer, though. 10 hairs is a realistic number to find and correctly assess.
When my FS teacher invited our local forensic pathologist to the school she gave us a presentation and in it she told us the two highest causes of death related to asphyxiation were 1. Erotic Asphyxiation (The scientific way to say choking kink) and 2. Hanging
You can find a killer though fiber. Fiber includes things like carpet, clothing, towels, cloth gloves, etc. As an example we were told about a person who had been found through the fibers of orange carpet on the deceased's body. The carpet was in the back of the killer's van and the manufacturer was able to give the police a list of all the people in the area who had used the orange carpet in their cars.
People (witnesses) have bad memories. Don't use a witness testimony as a bible. Things witnesses can get wrong include (but is not limited to): hair color, car color, face structure, clothes, street names, license plate numbers, skin tone & skin color, description of stolen items, etc.
Blood Spatter Patterns (yes spatter is the scientific term) can tell you A LOT. The weapon, the killer's height, the dominate hand used, the amount of struggle, and of course if some of the blood is the killer's than you know have DNA evidence. If you decide to become a Blood Spatter Analyst (yes, that is your job title) you will do A LOT of math. Especially geometry.
Usually when an innocent person's response to getting accused of murder is immediate anger. "How DARE you accuse ME of murder? I would NEVER!" A bit cartoonish of an example, but that is usually how it goes.
When someone has a different response you have to ask if it is because they are guilty, they have something to hide (related or unrelated to the current case), or if they are protecting someone. There is also the possibility the person's unusual response is due to their personality, a disability, or neurodivergence. It is up to a (key word) competent detective (or specialty interrogator) to find out why their response is different and if they need to push or if it's just how that person is.
Interrogation rooms are usually well lit, with the seat the person being interrogated sitting in, being close to the door, or at least closer than the interrogator. This is to give the person being interrogated a sense of ease, calm, safety, etc. Depending on the case and the people involved, the interrogation may be more interview style in the detective's office instead. This isn't the best practice, though, since in an office there are lots of distractions for both parties.
A well constructed interrogation room would be well lit, with light cream (not sterile white, that's uncomfortable) walls, and two chairs. The chairs should be fairly comfortable with a desk between them. The person getting interrogated's seat should be close to the door, but not facing away from it. They should have the constant reminder they can leave at any time. There should be some sort of desk or table between the seats, to give more distance (safety) and a place to write or rest your hands.
Both guilty and innocent individuals move their hands and lick their lips quite a lot. There are NO hard and fast rules to body language. It is also (technically) a pseudoscience so it can't really be used in most courts, however, it can be used in questioning or in determining how a individual feels about a topic or person. Someone being uncomfortable talking about a person doesn't mean that doesn't mean they killed them, it could mean they used to be in a relationship or they knew each other for a while. (Again, no hard and fast rules)
Handwriting is not my expertise, but I can add some things. The best handwriting to analyze is private writing someone wasn't expecting someone else to see like a journal or a grocery list. Handwriting, like body language has NO hard and fast rules.
Handwriting analysis is extremely complicated in English alone, but I can tell you that handwriting can give small insights into someone's personality, what they think of their family, their goals, their mental health, and their probability of being a violent criminal (no I'm not kidding)
Criminal Probability Example (Felon's Claw/Felon's Hook):

This is NOT A GUARRENTEE, it's just a weird similarity that SOME killers have. Also some random cashiers and actors???

Chapter 217 Trivia
Can you believe it's been 25 chapters already?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The meeting Suika and Chrome call is held in the computer room, since that's the only hut with bricks. Exactly where they set up their little podiums I'm not sure, (SAL 9000 takes up most of the room) but it's convenient that the "voting machines"/the computer was right there!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Senku Birds" is written on the presentation, which is likely a reference to the 1965 TV series Thunderbirds. It follows a group of 5 sons who pilot 5 rescue vehicles, with the goal of saving human life. The 5 vehicles are (very approximately) shaped like Chrome's rocket stages.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NASA's plans are a little more broad than just a rocket. OSAM (On-orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing) intends to build structures for future space constructs, such as larger telescopes and sunshades.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ones who definitely know, or are implied to know, about the medusa's secrets are Senku, Tsukasa (who isn't here), Chrome, Xeno, Gen, Ryusui, and Ukyo.
Tumblr media
Chrome says only the ones present should vote, which going by those shown in the room, are: Chrome, Suika, Xeno, Senku, Gen, Yo, Chelsea, Kohaku, Kaseki, Ryusui, and Sai, along with several random characters.
Neither group adds up to the 10 votes Sai sees, unless background characters were ignored and Sai himself didn't vote.
Or it's binary and there's only 2 votes haha!
It's no surprise that Sai managed to make a vote counter so fast, all it needs to do is add 1 to a value per vote. You'd also only need to store two values: one for total votes counted, and one for either option A or option B (subtract from the total to get the other amount).
Tumblr media
That method doesn't even account for the fact that one CPU register holds 16 bits, which is less than the 10 votes they had, and could have been used to "count" the votes. It'd be harder to produce the final result, however.
Interesting fact, Thomas Edison's first patented invention was a voting machine meant for congress.
They didn't want it.
Tumblr media
This seems to be an extreme simplification of existing fiber-optic cable networks, however the map itself is somewhat inaccurate making it hard to compare.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very short trivia this week since there wasn't a lot of content, but soon we may have the return of (Google) Chrome!

Meet Sweetums (Pt. 2)
As promised, this is my process post for the craft adventure I went on with my very first customized Furby ever!
Of course it started with skinning. As a first timer I was nervous about this first step but I quickly came to see how sturdy these things are. The screws toward the top were hard to get to but once I got it, I was able to remove the pelt!
Tumblr media
Not pictured: I washed the pelt in lukewarm water and unscented Eucalan (a great soap for delicate things like vintage or natural fibers).
I knew I wanted to experiment with dye, and my research showed me that it would be a massive challenge. Synthetic fur is usually a polyester and acrylic blend, which is plastic. When faux fur gets colored, it’s done when the plastic is still in its liquid stage. Once it becomes the dry soft fur, it can no longer accept much color. Rit makes a great line of dyes for synthetics that are specially formulated for this, but I knew going in that I would still get limited results. This dye needs to be used on the stovetop with hot water. Faux fur can’t be exposed to that kind of heat because it will damage or even melt the fibers. Furby pelts also still have the plastic mask attached which could melt. Because of this, I would be using the dye in warm water, not hot - hence the limited results
Here’s the Rit I used. I mixed these three colors to attempt to get a reddish orange autumn-like color.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I actually had to dye the pelt twice because 24 hours in the mixture did almost nothing. The second time I only soaked it for 4 hours but I diluted the dye way less. In the photo below you can see how the fur is rejecting the dye.
Tumblr media
While the pelt was soaking in the dye, I got to work on removing the beak. You’re supposed to just be able to slide that metal bar in their face out, but mine wouldn’t budge no matter what I did. I even removed the outer shell to try to get at pieces around it, but no such luck (this is why everything is open in the next few pictures). I had a custom beak I wanted to use, so the original had to come off one way or another. It took forever, but I sawed away at it with an X-Acto knife until I was able to get the beak off in pieces.
Next came the eyes. I used the well known hot glue trick where you melt the ends of glue gun sticks with a lighter, attach them to the eyes, freeze it for a little while, and then yank the eye chips out. This process worked beautifully first try and got me some of my favorite Furby pictures I’ve ever taken:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had lots of time while the pelt was being dyed so I finished up my custom eyes. There were some really cool options on Etsy but ultimately I decided that I wanted to make my own. I traced the old eye chips onto thick mixed media paper and painted my own design with acrylic paint. Then I coated it with resin and cured it with UV light. I had a UV resin pen that I used for this. It actually didn’t work super well, the pre-mixed resin in the pen wasn’t blended well at manufacturing (is the conclusion I came to after some research) so it didn’t cure properly. It had this tacky feel to it. I had this problem all over this project, which I solved by giving everything I had painted (eye chips, eye lids, mask, beak, and tongue) a top coat of clear nail polish lol.
I also used my own waterproof mascara on her lashes. Slay.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I cut the eyes out with scissors and you can see it’s not quite perfect. Not horrible for being done by hand though! It doesn’t bother me on the finished Furby.
Tumblr media
I painted the custom beak too. I linked it in my previous post, but I’m going to again because I can’t praise this beak from DuctTapeStuck on Etsy enough. Besides the really cool skull design, the best thing about this beak is how it has open hooks in the back. The original Furby beak has plastic that surrounds that metal bar as a closed ring, meaning that the bar has to be able to come out in order for it go on at all. Like I mentioned before, the bar on my Furby was not moving. But because DuctTapeStuck’s beak has open hooks in the back, I was able to get it onto that bar with it still on the Furby. It was a very tight fit, especially because I still had the tongue on the bar, but it was possible and that’s what matters!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By this time, the pelt was as dyed as it was ever going to get. I definitely lost control of the color but considering I was dying a synthetic under the wrong conditions, I decided that any change at all would be a good change. After I rinsed it, the body was a brownish purple and the mane was a light pink.
Tumblr media
I pressed all the water out of the pelt with a towel and air dried it outdoors. After that, the shell and the pelt went back on and Sweetums was complete!
Tumblr media
The earrings were some old things I found my jewelry box that I never really open. I’m glad someone is getting use out of my old stuff haha!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that’s Sweetums! I had some challenges along the way but it was really fun solving the problems I came across. I’d really love to do more of these in the future!
