Rodeo Terrorists - Bailo en el viento
I made this!
So sorry we’ve been away for so long, but our creative juices ran a bit low so we’ve been concentrating on taking pictures of otters and flying gliders. Anyway we’ve entered this song into the Spanish 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, I think Terry Wogan will be suitably proud

Ladies and gentlemen.... we got him!
It took a lot of skill and smart work. Some people say the most important thing we did was opening a sheriff's office 248 years ago so he could just hand himself in but i think we're due a lot more credit than that and it was us what got him.

The vast majority of the UK public *are* total bellends, though.
The only countries where (relatively) liberal gun laws were working were Switzerland and Austria, and Austria has recently just made a good example of why even historically 'safe' civilian gun ownership can go tits up.
There's no good reason at all for handing guns willy nilly to civilians in population centres. It's a different story if you live in the Alaskan/Canadian wilderness and run a genuine risk of coming face to face with a grumpy 42+ stone ursine, but giving your average garden-variety fuckwits guns to protect themselves from other average garden-variety fuckwits with guns is a fucking ridiculous justification for public firearm ownership.
Fuck me, the majority of these absolute hee-haws embellishing lamp posts and mini roundabouts with the St George's Cross would probably qualify for gun ownership if the UK adopted the American system.
What benefits do you see from arming the general population of the UK? Who are we protecting ourselves from? Do you honestly think that the relaxation of gun laws in the UK would result in fewer gun deaths? Or even a reduction in violent deaths in general?

Let them put up flags all they want if that's what floats their boats... the lefty twats have been putting up whatever flags they want for years without the councils having a meltdown.

I for one welcome our new mushroom overlords...
Sorry, it's an Instagram link.
SB Media on Instagram: "Jon Ross and Andy Kidd, engineers and artists from the UK, have developed a system that lets mushrooms and plants play music through bionic arms. John, the visionary behind Bionic and the Wires, combines art, technology, and environmental thinking to create custom bionic arms that enable plants and fungi to produce music and visual art, challenging traditional human-centered notions of creativity by empowering non-human lifeforms to express themselves. Complementing this, Andy, a skilled electronic musician and live performer, transforms bio-signals from nature into immersive soundscapes using synthesizers and digital tools, bridging the organic and technological realms. Together, their innovative collaboration pushes the boundaries of art and redefines who (or what) can be an artist. Their project merges biology, robotics, and creativity, turning natural bioelectric signals into expressive performances and here’s how they describe it: “We connect bionic arms to mushrooms and plants so they can play music and be creative. Our art explores new ways of thinking about the natural world. All life create bio-electrical signals. Our equipment converts these into signals that are used to control the arms. Recent research suggests that fungi and plants exhibit surprising levels of intelligence, including decision-making, learning, memory and the ability to respond to sound waves.” --- 💡 Learn More: Bionic and The Wires https://bionicandthewires.com/ [Sources] (🎞 @bionicandthewires) (🎼 Mushroom) (✍️ Description) 1.

It'd probably be better music if a person, having a sense of sound, being aware of music theory, and human emotions, actually composed it.
A mate at uni did a similar thing with max/msp and some sensors looking at fish in a bowl. Someone seems to come up with a new take on this concept every couple of years or so.
It's kind of like a creative thing for a human to do, but not quite as creative as doing the thing they're trying to avoid (writing a fucking melody).

It's maximising contact surface area
Which is great for mechanical strength but I'm not sure it's best for the electrical connection - it's unlikely to clamp with enough force to give a gastight joint. The modern allegedly maintenance-free connectors like Wago have a very thin knife-like contact.

these can be printed (don't have the metallic springs like the inline wago ones), and seem strong in the vid
they are quite chunky, a drawback if you're connecting multiple wires in a confined space, but I can see their utility and cost effectiveness for some uses. But they're not certified, so you're liable if your house burns down because of them.
its an interesting point about the squeezing. it's a trade-off between grip strength, connection, and starting to get resistance which can be dangerous. He has made it so you can grade the gap for wire sizes, but does the clamshell pressure start to reduce the cross-section as it's mostly going to applied on one axis?

A waveform, yes.
The different waveforms (like sine, triangle, square) are often named for the shapes they make when plotted on a polar (circular) graph, which looks just like the visual output of your chaos pendulums.
But a .wav is an actual audio file, not just another visualisation.
Here's a clue:
Though I imagine the best place for a zero line would be at 6 o'clock rather than 3.
I can't screenshot a feature that doesn't exist but if you're on Vivaldi go Page Actions/Transform 3d to see approximately 1% of what I mean. If you've ever played a computer game where the 'camera' follows your sprite/avatar around, and you can grab the image and move the camera angle - that!

Those waveforms get their names from the shapes they make on cartesian plots. A square wave on a polar plot isn't square.
