my students and I made and gates out of NPN transistors today. I read someone made a whole computer from components like this (not logic ICs) MADNESS

Steve who went to camp know-where as a kid.

Steve who has seen every episode of Star Trek enough times to quote them.

Steve who had his big stereotypical ~makeover~ his first year of middle school.

Steve who internalized all the “advice” so hard that he’d lie about it while being tortured.

Eddie Munson who can smell nerd on him but can’t pinpoint /How/.

CHAOS THEORY TRAILER THOUGHTS UNDER THE CUT

i have very mixed opinions on everything but after watching the trailer like 5 times:

-the tone of the show is going to be SO much darker than the original, maybe even darker than s3, which has me so excited but also so scared for the kids

-i might be stuck on the denial stage but i'm starting to firmly believe that Brooklynn is not dead. i'll make a separate post about it but i don't think she'd get killed that easily

-also, such a slay character design for 10 seconds of screentime? i refuse to believe it.

-talking about character designs, most of their timeskip looks are pretty cool?? Sammy's is my favorite, she and Yaz finally got done justice. Kenji is ok, i guess??? there's nothing really bad about it, but idk, it's just not as interesting as the others

-if i had a nickel for every time Darius had survivor's guilt over the "death" of a loved one, i'd have three nickels which is more than fucking enough please let him rest he's so tired

-BUMPY SHE'S THERE SHE'S THERE ASJKJAAJFJKDFD

-at first i thought most of the action was going to take place either on Darius's cabin or on the road, but some frames look like we might also see Sammy's farm?? if so, i'm going to be so happy we've been waiting so long for this

-if Daniel Kon is behind all of this chaos i'm going to bite something. STAY IN JAIL AND LEAVE THEM ALONE. IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS AND YOU'RE WASTING RESOURCES ON GETTING REVENGE ON A BUNCH OF KIDS WHO KICKED YOUR ASS ONE TIME. GET A LIFE.

-Yasammy is alive and well can i get a wahoo 🎉🏳️‍🌈

-who the fuck is that glasses guy i feel bad vibes from him

-DARIUS MIMICKING THE T-REX SCENE CAN WE GET A LITTLE COMMOTION FOR THAT 🗣️🗣️🗣️

In the math camp I also received a marvelous gift. A large set of Penrose tiles made from wood!

math... AND NATURE???

the COMBO MEAL?????????

[thatrandomblogsays]

I am now reminded that Annabeth saw Clarissa and her goonies were gonna want revenge for the toilet thing and immediately went: oh I am going to use this to WIN capture the flag!

& proceeded to put Percy, alone, unguarded, at the flag, uninformed cause she didn’t want to risk him running away to preserve his limbs as tasty tasty little bait. & when he was understandably upset she was like what??? We won! Girlie pop! He was almost MAIMED!!!

imagine if he hadn’t had magical healing powers and she accidentally crippled the new camper who had just become an orphan lmao she would not have been allowed on that quest.

okay but why did the urge to write a fic in which ted is pete's biological father strike me at 4 am???

hear me out: jenny left because ted got her pregnant after a one night stand, leaving baby pete on the spankoffski's doorstep. ted's parents decide that they'll raise pete as their own with ted as his brother because they don't think ted is responsible enough to raise a kid. this is also the reason they send ted to abstinence camp.

idk if it'd change much but like... food for thought I guess?? might write this after my check please au and angsty soulmate oneshots

Izzy: if I were to put fire on the nuclear waste, we would all die?

Aabria: shrugs

Izzy: I don't know how science works

Aabria: mmm just a general intelligence check

Izzy: okay. [rolls a 19]

Aabria: don't hit it with fire

Izzy: okay

Jasper: don't do that

Aabria: don't hit it with fire, don't hit it with fucking water

actually, speaking of Laurel - i have a lot of thoughts about how that winter in TTC was the emptiest we’ve ever seen CHB. Minus Clarisse and her questing group, there were exactly 13 campers and we have enough information to list them:

Percy and Thalia

Charles Beckendorf & two of his siblings (unnamed)

Silena Beauregard & two of her siblings (unnamed)

Three Ares kids (unnamed & minus Clarisse)

The Stoll Brothers and Nico in Hermes cabin.

(Two of the unnamed campers in either Cabins 5, 9, or 10 are named Laurel and Jason, but we don’t know which ones)

And then also the 13 Hunters of Artemis. And later Clarisse, her quest group, Chris, and Annabeth, when they all get back after their respective quests. But for the majority of that winter - No Demeter kids, no Athena kids (cause Annabeth is busy holding up the sky), no Apollo kids, not even Castor and Pollux - which in itself implies that actually that none of those cabins had year-round campers at the time (even Annabeth had been going to school then).

This also implies that besides the campers we know have already been introduced (Katie Gardner, Lee Fletcher, Michael Yew, etc), if a known currently alive camper can not fit into the blanks of this list, then they joined after TTC (especially if they’re a year-round camper, unless they switched to being year-round). Heck, we even know all the current Hephaestus kids by name - so unless some other Hephaestus kids died in the war(s) and these were them, the most likely two current Hephaestus kids that could have been present at this time were Nyssa and/or Jake (presuming that because they’re counselors that they’re the senior kids in their cabin - if this is not the case then it could also be Shane and Christopher. And of course Laurel and Jason are options, but if either of them were in Cabin 9 they absolutely died during the war).

We know that by TLO that CHB’s numbers had dwindled to about half of what they usually were (leaving ~50-60 total campers at the start of the Battle for Manhattan). In TTC, this is us really seeing how small CHB is during the war. Most of those campers defected to the Titan Army. We also know CHB's suffered a loss of about 20% during the actual Battle for Manhattan (and a good portion of that was basically the Entire Apollo Cabin, since all but 3 of them died and they were formerly one of the largest cabins) but we don’t know how many campers fighting on the Titan Army’s side died as well. We do know though that CHB’s size approximately tripled after the war, with a height of about ~150 campers in the summer and closer to 100 in the off-seasons - and that many of those new campers were either ex-Titan Army members returning or joining camp for the first time or completely new campers who had just been claimed.

And finally, my favorite fact about the statistics of that one winter at CHB - this means that list? Those 12 campers and 13 Hunters are the only ones to have ever known what Nico was like before he ran away. Nobody else knows he used to be different, or even that he had previously been a camper before re-joining officially in BoO. Nobody at all.

Math Camp! Pascal's Triangle! Bee!

got over excited drawing this bee for my math camp students.

[gender-trash]

make the sphere poll!

okay! here goes

elaborate on context in the tags, if you like (did you watch it in an educational context? did a friend show it to you? did you stumble upon it alone, in a late-night youtube binge kept secret from your parents?)

Last week I participated in a math camp, where I taught students about tilings. Here are some photos:

[dear-nyu]

Im sort if still in disbelief (and will be until they're in my hands) but. But. I managed to get TWO ouatis CDs???? I think??!?!? I don't know how that's possible but??!!!!!

(two because my beloved @blue-cat-shitposts didn't get one last time im not hoarding i promise)

Tetrahedron lamp holder for my tent

Used materials:

- sticks (to build the tetrahedron frame)

- foldback clamps (to hold the paper faces and to attach the swivel carabiner hook)

- thick bright white paper (cut into 3 equilateral triangles and 2 of these equilateral triangles are cut into two same pieces)

- the depicted camping lamp

- 1 rubber band (to fixate the lamp)

- masking tape (to fixate the tetrahedron's vertices)

- a swivel carabiner hook (so the lamp can be rotated easily)

(My lamp has 2 magnets left and right.)

... i might improve the design further... I am just bored. And crafting this is a calming activity for me...

@gayjew69 DL MENTIONED!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

[violentviolet-vv]

ALMOST FORGOT TO POST SOME TODAY... anyway, these were my first ever doodles of them which was probably a few days before i made my first post!! srry abt the unfinished hwan and veras non-accurate outfit, i drew it from memory becuz i was in math class when doodling this

also ignore the other doodles
