This is a very tiny guitar-- It's about the size of a human blood cell and can be played with a laser, and is technically responsible for the highest note ever played on a musical instrument. Each of the strings is only about 100 atoms across.

My new e-bookshop is open!

I believe discovery, fairness and inclusivity are at the heart of digital bookselling.

Inclusive and DRM-free
All formats for all devices, no need to convert. You get a DRM-free e-book that works and is yours to keep.

Fair means fair
Authors get 80% of the profit. No deep discounts, or e-books that cost the same as the print version.

Genuine discovery
A curated e-bookshop, every title read and loved before hitting the shelves.

I'm working on a mechanical automatic rainfall-triggered irrigation shutoff valve for my mechanical engineering senior design project, and I'm wondering what folks with more gardening experience think of the concept. Existing rain sensors are all electronic; I was thinking the purely mechanical system would make it better-suited for off-grid, low-impact applications.

Does this sound interesting to you? I could use feedback from people who know more about #gardening and #diy

i've been reading An Indigenous People's History of the US, and it made a point i hadn't considered before: the second amendment and citizen militias were codified into law in order to create a legal cover for armed settler mobs to organize genocidal acts on the frontier. today, the second amendment folks, militia folks, NRA, etc are pushing to perpetuate the legal allowance for armed mobs to go to war with the "other"

the militia types are not "cosplaying" they are a codified part of settler colonialist power
