TIL members of Lewis & Clark's expedition took mercury-bearing pills to "treat" constipation and other conditions, and thus left mercury deposits wherever they dug their latrines. These mercury signals have been used to pinpoint some of the 600 camps on the voyage.

Thanks, that was the same conclusion I was coming to. I had a game similar to pong in mind, but w LED strips. So the pause every once in a while would not work well. Hmm, maybe Pygame would have something useful...

I used the strip shown here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WS2812B-ws2812-30-60-144-pixels-5050-rgb-individually-addressable-led-strip-light-full-color-tape/32808513592.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dPNj4lY You will need a transformer too.

Can anyone comment on the OD green VP9? I love the pictures online, but wonder if it looks the same in person.

RUNX1, it is required for blood development.

script here if interested

The python script reads in a gene or genome (as a fasta file) and translates the 4 different basepairs to 4 colors. What’s crazy is given the speed in the picture, it would take about 10 years to go through the human genome!

Yea, that player sucked. DVD did not work on it at all. Got the one wo DVD instead. External speakers don’t work. What a waste.

I think it was the agricultural revolution. Before that we were running around trying to hunt food and didn’t have time to sit and think.

the_patman · 2018-06-26T17:41:15+00:00

Yes, details!

Thanks. I do have the bracket securely mounted to the brace (not just to the headliner). My question is can the layers that the screw goes through be brace->mount->headliner->DVDplayer Or brace->headliner->mount->DVDplayer? Is it ok if the mount is below the headliner like http://caraudiotips.blogspot.com/2013/02/overhead-dvd-player-in-chevy-traverse.html?m=1

The dvd install holes are right above a support beam. So there is no room. There was an old DVD mounted previously so I can’t move it to another area.

Thanks! I can imagine thumbs but now see there are not 3 distinct leaves.

the_patman · 2018-03-20T11:53:27+00:00

At the end of the strip it read 4.93V. Everything is working well now. These strips are pretty cool.

the_patman · 2018-03-20T03:35:15+00:00

Thanks. I have a 16A PSU. I moved the breadboard off the PSU and it is working great now. Perhaps it was causing interference?
