@anishmoonka @emm0sh it’s the part

Went down the rabbit hole on this. There are bacteria in your gut right now with tiny electric motors built into them. Each motor is 45 nanometers wide, about 2,000 times thinner than a human hair. It spins faster than a Formula 1 engine. After 50 years, scientists just cracked how it works. The motor spins a corkscrew-shaped tail so the bacterium can swim. At that tiny scale, water feels as thick as tar. Moving anywhere takes serious power. A single E. coli cell (the kind in your gut) spins its motor at 18,000 RPM. That beats modern Formula 1 engines, which redline around 15,000. Some bacteria in the ocean run theirs at 42,000 RPM, nearly triple. And the motor barely wastes any energy as heat. Your car engine loses most of its fuel to heat. This thing loses almost none. Inside the motor, 5 proteins form a ring wrapped around 2 proteins in the middle. Five can't split evenly into 2. The resulting lopsidedness is what makes the whole thing work. Protons, which are tiny charged particles, get pulled from outside the cell through the motor. Each one grabs a center protein, then lets go. In letting go, it tugs the outer ring a fraction of a turn. Another proton does the same thing on the other side. Then another. It's like two feet alternating on bicycle pedals. Over 2,000 times per second. Switching directions is a whole other trick. When the bacterium senses food running out, it tags a small messenger protein with a phosphorus atom. That tagged messenger floats over and touches one protein on the outer ring. The touched protein flips into a new shape. That flip triggers the next protein, and the next, and the next, around the whole ring, like dominos falling. The ring reshapes in milliseconds. Rotation reverses. The bacterium turns and swims somewhere else. Mike Manson, a biophysicist at Texas A&M, has been studying this one motor since the 1970s. For five decades, most of its parts stayed a mystery. Starting in 2020, a new wave of imaging let scientists see the individual pieces. The last pieces clicked into place in a March 2026 paper from Aravinthan Samuel's lab at Harvard. Manson told Quanta Magazine his lifelong quest was fulfilled. A billion years of evolution built the most efficient rotary motor on the planet. Trillions of them are spinning inside you right now.

@PoorPrepper2112 @TPNdustries No we don’t tf

@TPNdustries We welcome all red migrants, not blue.

Narrator: "Tennessee does not, in fact, welcome you."

@TPNdustries Stay tf out

@FOXNashville I don’t think people should be moving to Tennessee actually.

POLL: Do you think people moving to Tennessee should align with the state’s dominant political views?

@Stubbs_GunGuy @RstyShcklfrd556 Isn’t that the optic that has rhe zeroing mechanism outside the toob and bends if you drop it?

@RetroV1bes @RstyShcklfrd556 There is no better reticle out there. They offer a laser protective anti reflection device, and the glass is just better than anything you're going to get for less. Simply get good.

Alright its presentation time. This picture is hilarious and inspires me, so you get two articles today. This is the rarely armed insane libshit we are going to be fighting. He's an ugly dysgenic freak who has cobbled together some stupid fucking gun with some capeshit painted on it because he's never read a book. The dismal nature of his equipment is likely a result of not being allowed to legally obtain these items through legal channels as for some reason if you shoot into a crowd of liberals and hit three people, you hit three sexual offenders, IE the Rittenhouse Rule. The left would last about a day in a war, maybe two if they had the actual military on their side if anything actually happened in 2020 because the side without guns wants to fight the side with guns, but recently they have adopted the trends mannerisms and types of guns used by lowly criminals. SD9s and pistol format rifles without stocks or sights. They resent any form of training or skills as they see it as right wing. An engagement distance over 50 yards renders you completely immune to their offenses, and their defense as seen below consist of mediocre to dismal. This particular specimen is wearing the generally lamented and worse than nothing AR500 brand, once again out of a lack of ability to legally acquire suitable equipment, or despising any form of knowledge of this category of equipment. The recommended and standard method of engagement applies here. No special considerations need be made engaging one of these as the armor depicted here (backwards ar500 plate) is a death sentence itself. One burst of rifle caliber ammunition will incapacitate this individual as a low center mass burst will result in the following: A: The burst lands on the intended target, and through discipline and accuracy, but not precision under rapid fire, not all of the projectiles hit the plate, resulting in a center mass hit around an incorrectly worn plate, or to the groin. B: The AR500 plate is ineffective against stopping the projectiles, and a projectile penetrates the plate center mass, or shrapnel and spall from a hardened piece of target metal cause additional incapacitating injuries. After you have either legally defended yourself from a liberal whackadoodle on the offensive, or rule of law has been temporarily suspended due to exigent circumstances do you have any duty or compulsion to approach this individual? No. You have no legal duty to render aid in the event of a single occurrence, and the armed individual still poses a threat as long as they are armed and not confirmed to be dead. In the unfortunate scenario the rule of law has been suspended and law enforcement can not be notified or relied on, confirm the individual to be deceased while keeping a safe distance, until what is visible can beyond a reasonable doubt not remain intact if moved. Do not leave your position in the event an accomplice to the attacker is nearby. They feel no compulsion to help one another, and will lie in wait to ambush you if you move to investigate the body or equipment. Nothing on this individual is worth attempting to recover. The only reason to attempt to obtain any remaining equipment without holes in it, is to deny the enemy. Destroy equipment in place, and do not keep any identifiable items on your person unless they contain critical information. Also shoutout to the Secret Service for probably just walking up and punching this guy.

@CGockel1 @learning_yohei What on earth

A lot don't. Even at parties in some places, you'll take off your shoes. It's generally known that you carry mercury on your shoes, among other toxins. Also, in many Northern places we have salt during the winter. But it's not as strict, and we don't have a "genkan" so where the shoes come off is sort of flexible.

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵🤭 親愛なるアメリカ人に質問があります🇺🇸🙋 アメリカ人は家の中でも靴を履いて歩くというのは本当ですか？👟😳

@JasonBassler1 Add southwire to that

REMINDER: These companies have Flock cameras scanning their parking lots 24/7: -FedEx -Lowes -Home Depot -Dierbergs Markets -Kaiser Permanente -Academy Sports + Outdoors -Simon Property Group (Largest mall owner in U.S.) Boycott them or bankroll your own surveillance.

@amerpipedream And how many flecktarn parkas have there been?

In 2021 AP was founded in my parents’ basement. 2022 we rented a 2,500 square foot warehouse. 2023 we bought a 24,000 square foot furniture gallery and 2.5 acres of vacant land next door. 2024 we remodeled that building, rented a new warehouse just for sorting incoming surplus. 2025 we kept growing, planning for the future. 2026 we broke ground on a new building specifically for order fulfillment, bringing the AP empire up to 55,000 square feet. Crazy how it’s only been five years.

@emm0sh Me but with KiCAD when they ask about “board design” and “integrated circuitry experience” on my resume

i’ve been lying this entire time. i’m not actually an engineer. i just have a CAD license and autism

@Stubbs_GunGuy @RstyShcklfrd556 >elcan lol, lmao even.

@RstyShcklfrd556 Im likely just going to be looking through my elcan clicking on bright colors from 500m away but this guy is a step above one of these to me.

You’re denying Bob Carter, a Flock employee, accessed the gymnastics camera? This is from a FOIA request by a citizen of Dunwoody. You’re speaking for a $7 billion company (maybe $6 now) you should probably specify which “accusations” are false in my reporting.

There are abortion videos of babies screaming in pain and pulling away from the forceps as their skull is crushed

@Xaraphim modeled threads but it’s only one thread make machine real warm

I bitch about CAD a lot, but truly Solid works is fine

@Xaraphim woe. helix be upon ye.

God please let this work

Surveillance cameras in Dunwoody, Georgia were accessed by Flock employees to view a children’s gymnastics studio. Days after this was exposed, City Council expanded their contract with Flock. At that meeting, they refused to let the journalist who published the story speak.

This could be us… but too many people still have no idea what a Flock camera is or why they should care.

@emm0sh same

my biggest regret is learning mechanical and not electrical engineering. i can’t believe i spent four years getting a degree in “that bolt should be slightly bigger”

I am finding near 100% non-compliance with FLOCK cameras installed on @myTDOT roads. No breakaway. Way higher than approved . Not following TDOT design standards. There are so many out there that they have scaled their installation errors. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

This may be the easiest way to dismantle our unconstitutional surveillance state. Share accordingly... 🇺🇸 #Flock #4thAmendment #LPR #CivilRights #FlockNova
