Remember yesterday's LCD mockups? Well here's a more proper take on the effect with 150x100 images. They're also saturated to give off that glowing effect!

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Modern liquid crystal displays that are found in HD televisions, smartphones (figure 17.4) and computer screens work because the structures of the materials that are present on these displays are arranged in chiral orientations.

Warnings: this fic will include elements, some dark, such as possible cheating, low self-esteem, noncon/dubcon, and other untagged triggers. Please take this into account before proceeding. It is up to curate your online consumption safely.

Summary: you move in with your sister when your luck turns for the worst.

Characters: Walter Marshall, possible Andy Barber

Author’s Note: Please feel free to leave some feedback, reblog, and jump into my asks. I’m always happy to discuss with you and riff on idea. As always, you are cherished and adored! Stay safe, be kind, and treat yourself💜

You wash away the tang of the barbeque sauce with the wine. In your nervousness, you lost track of how much you’ve drank. Even as you eat, with nothing much to say, he watches you. Walter’s intensity is as roiling as the waves that rippled off the grill. 

He’s on his second can of beer but hardly seems affected. You think it’s not as strong as wine. You look at your glass and the last mouthful. 

“Don’t wanna waste it,” he leans forward and winks. 

“Oh, uh,” you gulp then put the crystal to your lips. You force yourself to swallow the last little bit. 

He stands, causing you to wince. He chuckles as he grabs the wine bottle and uncaps it. You watch him with wide eyes. 

“You’re so jumpy, relax,” he purrs as he fills your glass again. You watch the blush liquid with dread. “That lawyer idiot’s got you on edge.” 

“It isn’t...” you chew your lip and look away, “I think I’ve had enough.” 

“Bah, we’re just getting started,” he winks and plunks the bottle back down, “I’m gonna grab another beer.” 

“Right,” you agree without further protests. 

You sit back and pout into the glass. You want to go but he’s completely correct. Andy has you all twisted up and out of sorts. You can’t go back there. Not yet. You’re stuck here. Walter is every bit as intense as your brother-in-law just in a very different way.  

You stare up at the sky. It’s getting dark. You really don’t want to walk home drunk and you can feel your eyes getting foggy. You feel a bit jittery but that could just be the usual. Unthinkingly, you take a swig to soothe yourself. You see how it can be so dangerous to drink. 

The screen door snaps again and Walter reappears. Your eyes round and flick back up to the sky as you see him. Oh. 

He wears only a pair of short grey-blue swim trunks, thought they look more like boxers. They’re short enough that the muscles of his thighs are on displayed in thick cords and the hair along them stands stark against his skin. He is thick all over. The peek of the dark hair the trails from chest to pelvis stains your mind. Don’t think about that. 

You wipe your forehead with the back of your hand. 

“Come on, let’s have some fun. You know, the hot tub is actually a great way to cool off,” he cracks the tab on the can in his hand, “or spice things up. Whatever you want.” 

You turn the stemmed glass and fidget, “I’m good.” 

“Don’t make me drag you,” he kids. “You ever have fun or do you just sit in the dark and listen to grunge?” 

Your eyes dart up to him as hurt creases around your lips. He sounds like Andy. He thinks you’re pathetic too. 

“Look,” he lets out a long breath, “I’m pulling your chain, tryna loosin’ you up. I didn’t mean anything by it. Just... you could use a hot soak. I can see the tension in your shoulders. They’re almost touching your ears.” 

You drop your shoulders decisively. He’s not lying. You’re so rigid, you’re quivering. It might be nice if you were alone. 

“Well, you get that wine down and come join me when you’re ready.” He nears and you shy away. He taps the side of his can against your glass, “cheers.” 

He takes another dip gulp and turns away. He strides off, tramping down the steps, as you watch the muscles in his back. If he wanted to put you in the tub himself, you’re certain he could. You’re a guest and you don’t want to be rude. Even to him. 

You blow out between your lips and tamp down the last of your worry. If you clench your jaw any tighter, your teeth might just break. You’re tired of the stress, of the tension, of the constant self-hatred. If the wine can make you forget all that, it can’t be that bad. 

You nearly gag as you choke down the rose. You hold back a belch and stand, finding yourself off-balance as you get to your feet. You shake your head and grab the bottle of wine. You leave the glass on the table. 

You come down the steps as Walter sighs and leans his head back, his arms stretched around the side of the hot tub. His eyes are closed as he basks in the cooling air. You walk as the wine sloshes noisily in the glass. You see his can sticking out of a cup holder built into the trim. You find another and plunk the wine into it. 

You back up and stare at the tub, contemplating. You look down then up again. His eyes are open as he reaches for his beer and watches you. You tap your fingers against your thighs. 

“Well?” He raises his brows. 

“Um,” you swallow. 

You turn away so you don’t have to look at him. You’re really going to do this. It’s no different than a swim suit, right? You pull of your tee shirt and reveal your cotton bra. You fold it up and leave it on the folding table near the tub. You take your time untying your converse and peeling off your socks. 

You stand again and undo your thigh, the noise of the jets droning in your ears. You push your pants down and hear a low noise. You step out of the denim and face Walter as he tilts his head, his teeth sinking into his lower lip. 

“Looking good,” he purrs. 

You cross your arms over your stomach and put your head down. You approach the edge of the tub and quickly climb over the side. You ease in opposite him and he clucks. He shifts to claim the seat next to you. You turn your attention to the sky. 

“Don’t gotta be shy,” he reaches past you, leaning close, and grabs the wine, “come on.” 

You eye the bottle and take it from him. You drink from the long neck and pop your lips off. You twist up your mouth and put it back. The heat is not helping. You vision is ringed and fuzzy and your body feels loose. 

“You good?” He rubs your shoulder, his hand hotter than the water. You blink and look over at his touch. 

“Think so,” you choke out. 

“Mm,” his thumb rubs circles into your skin, “you really are built nicely.” 

“Um,” you close your eyes and steady yourself, “thanks... I guess...” you remember the smell of wood chips and feel hands around your hips, the saw buzzes loudly. Your eyes snap open as he tickles along your neck, “I don’t feel too good.” 

“Gotta let the wine settle,” he purrs and leans down to kiss your shoulder as his hand creeps up the back of your neck. “You’re good.” 

“Uh huh,” your eyes roll in your head as your skin speckles with hot and cold. His beard tickles along your collar bone as his curls brush your face, “what--” 

He grips your neck and buries his face in your chest. You gasp and jolt in the water but find your limbs heavily and clumsy. You press your hands to the plastic grooves to keep from slipping as he brings his other hand up to cup one side of your chest. 

“Walter?” You croak. 

“Mmm, it’s alright, baby,” he speaks against your skin, “I’ll treat you right,” he hooks his fingers under the band of your bra, tugging until one side of your chest falls free, “you just relax.”

The Composition of E-Waste

Electronic waste, also known as e-waste, is made up of a wide variety of different materials. The category of waste can include everything from toys and consumer electronics to medical equipment to telecommunications equipment, all of which have differing amounts of nearly every type of common materials (plastics/polymers, glass, metals, ceramics, semiconductors, etc.). By weight, iron, plastics, aluminum, and copper make up the majority of many e-waste materials. Looking at value, though, precious and scarce metals make up most of the cost (such as gold, silver, and palladium, or selenium, tantalum, and germanium).

Beyond that, many forms of electronic waste contain toxic or hazardous chemical such as arsenic, lead, mercury, or chromium:

Batteries and cathode ray tubes often contain lead

Mercury can be found in thermostats and sensors, in gas discharge lamps and many printed circuit boards (PCBs)

Liquid crystal displays and printer inks and toners should be treated separately and chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons can be found in electronics such as refrigerators with insulating foams

To give an example for all these facts, let's look at mobile/cell phones:

Phones are said to contain ~40 different elements

Of the most common materials by weight, phones are ~43% plastic, 7% iron, 3% aluminum, and 13% copper

Looking at precious metals, phones are ~3000ppm silver, 320ppm gold, and 120ppm palladium (approximated as over 90% of the value of the phone in terms of raw materials)

Rare earth metals can be found in many places in a phone, include the screen, circuitry, and speakers. Vibrating cell phones are usually thanks to neodymium, dysprosium, and/or praseodymium.

Phone batteries are typically lithium-ion but older phones especially can have nickel-metal-hydride or nickel-cadmium batteries

The plastic casing is typically polycarbonate and/or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

Chargers are mostly copper and plastic, but can contain flame retardants that can include gold, cadmium, or bromine

“You see—uh, you see this small, sort of stalky looking goblin, uhh, alchemist warlock kid who’s sporting a pair of electric green tinted goggles propped over his forehead.

He’s got this curly grown-out braided mohawk that hangs in front of his eyes and ends in a little mullet—dressed kind of like, mangy Y2K, you know, little t-shirt that reads sweet heart in old curvy hippie font, insanely low-cut faded jeans, his midriff just like full [CHUCKLES]—fully on display. There’s a belt of tools and vials with shimmering, neon swirling liquid strapped really low around his hips and you see it’s kind of like [LAUGHS], studded.

Big round potions hang off one side and you notice on the other there’s a little holster for a pocket-sized, what looks like a grimoire, and even just peeking you can see it’s pink and absolutely bedazzled with rhinestones. Like it says Book of Shadows in silvery white puffy glitter glue.

You see [LAUGHS]—he’s got the like, one fang poking out from under the lip, and his eyes look almost—one is honey yellow and the other is pale cyan, and his pupils almost look like they’re permanently slitted paper-thin. As you approach his ears kind of twitch sensing your presence and you see they end in these small, dark green tufts, sort of like a bobcat’s. He looks up from his crystal and his like, manicured jet-black claws just keep skittering across the screen. He’s got a lollipop stick in his mouth but it’s like, budging like there’s no more lollipop and he’s just been chewing on it for wayyy too long.”

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

May 8, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAY 09, 2024

Today, in Racine, Wisconsin, President Joe Biden announced that Microsoft is investing $3.3 billion dollars to build a new data center that will help operate one of the most powerful artificial intelligence systems in the world. It is expected to create 2,300 union construction jobs and employ 2,000 permanent workers. 

Microsoft has also partnered with Gateway Technical College to train and certify 200 students a year to fill new jobs in data and information technology. In addition, Microsoft is working with nearby high schools to train students for future jobs. 

Speaking at Gateway Technical College’s Racine campus, Biden contrasted today’s investment with that made by Trump about the same site in 2018. In that year, Trump went to Wisconsin for the “groundbreaking” of a high-tech campus he claimed would be the “eighth wonder of the world.” 

Under Republican governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin legislators approved a $3 billion subsidy and tax incentive package—ten times larger than any similar previous package in the state—to lure the Taiwan-based Foxconn electronics company. Once built, a new $10 billion campus that would focus on building large liquid-crystal display screens would bring 13,000 jobs to the area, they promised. 

Foxconn built a number of buildings, but the larger plan never materialized, even after taxpayers had been locked into contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars for upgrading roads, sewer system, electricity, and so on. When voters elected Democrat Tony Evers as governor in 2022, he dropped the tax incentives from $3 billion to $80 million, which depended on the hiring of only 1,454 workers, reflecting the corporation’s current plans. Foxconn dropped its capital investment from $10 billion to $672.8 million.  

In November 2023, Microsoft announced it was buying some of the Foxconn properties in Wisconsin.

Today, Biden noted that rather than bringing jobs to Racine, Trump’s policies meant the city lost 1,000 manufacturing jobs during his term. Wisconsin as a whole lost 83,500. “Racine was once a manufacturing boomtown,” Biden recalled, “all the way through the 1960s, powering companies—invented and manufacturing Windex…portable vacuum cleaners, and so much more, and powered by middle-class jobs.

“And then came trickle-down economics [which] cut taxes for the very wealthy and biggest corporations…. We shipped American jobs overseas because labor was cheaper. We slashed public investment in education and innovation. And the result: We hollowed out the middle class. My predecessor and his administration doubled down on that failed trickle-down economics, along with the [trail] of broken promises.” 

“But that’s not on my watch,” Biden said. “We’re determined to turn it around.” He noted that thanks to the Democrats’ policies, in the past three years, Racine has added nearly 4,000 jobs—hitting a record low unemployment rate—and Wisconsin as a whole has gained 178,000 new jobs. 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act have fueled “a historic boom in rebuilding our roads and bridges, developing and deploying clean energy, [and] revitalizing American manufacturing,” he said. That investment has attracted $866 billion in private-sector investment across the country, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs “building new semiconductor factories, electric vehicles and battery factories…here in America.” 

The Biden administration has been scrupulous about making sure that money from the funds appropriated to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure and manufacturing base has gone to Republican-dominated districts; indeed, Republican-dominated states have gotten the bulk of those investments. “President Biden promised to be the president of all Americans—whether you voted for him or not. And that’s what this agenda is delivering,” White House deputy chief of staff Natalie Quillian told Matt Egan of CNN in February. 

But there is, perhaps, a deeper national strategy behind that investment. Political philosophers studying the rise of authoritarianism note that strongmen rise by appealing to a population that has been dispossessed economically or otherwise. By bringing jobs back to those regions that have lost them over the past several decades and promising “the great comeback story all across…the entire country,” as he did today, Biden is striking at that sense of alienation.

“When folks see a new factory being built here in Wisconsin, people going to work making a really good wage in their hometowns, I hope they feel the pride that I feel,” Biden said. “Pride in their hometowns making a comeback. Pride in knowing we can get big things done in America still.” 

That approach might be gaining traction. Last Friday, when Trump warned the audience of Fox 2 Detroit television that President’s Biden’s policies would cost jobs in Michigan, local host Roop Raj provided a “reality check,” noting that Michigan gained 24,000 jobs between January 2021, when Biden took office, and May 2023.

At Gateway Technical College, Biden thanked Wisconsin governor Tony Evers and Racine mayor Cory Mason, both Democrats, as well as Microsoft president Brad Smith and AFL-CIO president Liz Schuler.

The picture of Wisconsin state officials working with business and labor leaders, at a public college established in 1911, was an image straight from the Progressive Era, when the state was the birthplace of the so-called Wisconsin Idea. In the earliest years of the twentieth century, when the country reeled under industrial monopolies and labor strikes, Wisconsin governor Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette and his colleagues advanced the idea that professors, lawmakers, and officials should work together to provide technical expertise to enable the state to mediate a fair relationship between workers and employers. 

In his introduction to the 1912 book explaining the Wisconsin Idea, former president Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, explained that the Wisconsin Idea turned the ideas of reformers into a workable plan, then set out to put those ideas into practice. Roosevelt approvingly quoted economist Simon Patten, who maintained that the world had adequate resources to feed, clothe, and educate everyone, if only people cared to achieve that end. Quoting Patten, Roosevelt wrote: “The real idealist is a pragmatist and an economist. He demands measurable results and reaches them by means made available by economic efficiency. Only in this way is social progress possible.”

Reformers must be able to envision a better future, Roosevelt wrote, but they must also find a way to turn those ideals into reality. That involved careful study and hard work to develop the machinery to achieve their ends. 

Roosevelt compared people engaged in progressive reform to “that greatest of all democratic reformers, Abraham Lincoln.” Like Lincoln, he wrote, reformers “will be assailed on the one side by the reactionary, and on the other by that type of bubble reformer who is only anxious to go to extremes, and who always gets angry when he is asked what practical results he can show.” “[T]he true reformer,” Roosevelt wrote, “must study hard and work patiently.” 

“It is no easy matter actually to insure, instead of merely talking about, a measurable equality of opportunity for all men,” Roosevelt wrote. “It is no easy matter to make this Republic genuinely an industrial as well as a political democracy. It is no easy matter to secure justice for those who in the past have not received it, and at the same time to see that no injustice is meted out to others in the process. It is no easy matter to keep the balance level and make it evident that we have set our faces like flint against seeing this government turned into either government by a plutocracy, or government by a mob. It is no easy matter to give the public their proper control over corporations and big business, and yet to prevent abuse of that control.”

“All through the Union we need to learn the Wisconsin lesson,” Roosevelt wrote in 1912.

“We’re the United States of America,” President Biden said today, “And there’s nothing beyond our capacity when we work together.”

Chapter 222 Trivia (Part 2)

(Previous part)

The liquid crystal display (LCD) shown in the chapter is a simplification of true LCDs. In reality, LCDs have 6 layers, which, when put together, do what Senku explains with the twisted light ray.

The polarizing layers (1+5) align the light, layer 2 is the screen's structure (e.g. a watch's face or RGB pixels) and takes the electronic input, layer 3 is the liquid crystal and 4 completes the input's circuit. Layer 6 is the backlight, as none of the layers make light.

The touchscreen on the smartphone isn't the type you'll see these days, but rather one with discrete buttons similar to having an invisible keyboard grid over the screen. This means Taiju won't be able to do things like scrolling, but he'll be able to press buttons just fine.

(For a little more information about the smartphone and 8 mm film, see this thread)

The smartphone's logo is of course Senku's logo, but with a bite taken out of it, similar to Apple's logo.

Spacecraft are built in clean rooms to ensure the rocket is not contaminated in any way, either from bacteria or dust particles. It's a controlled environment.

Senku & Xeno are wearing what's known as bunny suits. If you're going to look them up, don't forget the keyword "NASA".

The Apollo 11 cockpit barely had any screens, whereas SpaceX's Dragon is mostly touchscreens. There's advantages and disadvantages to both designs, but SENKU 11's design is closest to the Space Shuttle orbiter, but with the Multi-function Electronic Display System (MEDS) upgrade.

For fun, I labelled which chapter each of these inventions appeared in. (Also a massive thanks to this page)

I wasn't sure if this was appropriate to start the trivia with so I'll say it now: Kohaku is 10B% naked here, apart from maybe shoes. I'm not entirely sure why this is necessary for the suit fitting, unless underwear is banned in space.

honestly forgot lcd stood for liquid crystal display and I was taking a shattered iphone screen off today at work and like...there was juice moving around in there? sauce even? incredible stuff

[virtualgirladvance]

Drink some water

Or do I need to pour the water directly on your screen and we both see what happens next? The water could find its way beneath the layers of glass and film into the liquid crystal display, or cause your components to short circuit.. the choice is yours, I suppose

- 💎

I drank water and took my meds but you should still do that anyway....for science ya know??

[quartz-components]

LCD Display modules are commonly used in most of the embedded projects to display various output data. It's cheap, handy, and programmer-friendly for various DIY projects. The Alphanumeric Graphical LCD (2004A) is a 20x4 Liquid Crystal Display that comes in blue or green colors. It can show four lines of text, with each line holding up to 20 characters making a total of 80 characters to be displayed on screen. This is larger than the 16x2 LCD, but the programming is similar. The display is used to show a wide range of things like text, characters, numbers, and symbols.

Beyond displays: Liquid crystals in motion mimic biological systems

Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run an electric current through liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and they generate colors, thanks to the unique properties of these fluids: rearrange their shape, and they reflect different wavelengths of light. As the lab of Chinedum Osuji, Eduardo D. Glandt Presidential Professor and Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, recently discovered, these fascinating molecules may be able to do even more. Under the right conditions, liquid crystals condense into astonishing structures, spontaneously generating filaments and flattened disks that can transport material from one place to another, much like complex biological systems. The insight may lead to self-assembling materials, new ways to model cellular activity and more. "It's like a network of conveyor belts," says Christopher Browne, a postdoctoral researcher in Osuji's lab and the co-first author of a recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that describes the finding.
