Oh yeah

Someone posted about that in another server

Cool af

A really cool and impractical extension of the player piano or Jacquard loom.

The maker of that one is trying to build one that he take apart and put back together so it can go on the road

I'm curious how sensitive it is to temperature with metal balls.

prolly not if you look at the way the sit

moisture would be more of an issue

Yeah moisture/humidity warping the wood would wreck it.

part of the reason for the ply wood rather that solid pieces

rube goldberg style stuff can be quite interesting

This is pretty neat to me.

prolly belongs in shitposting

It's a restored USAF training film, is that shitposting?

it's not news or fake news

Fair enough.

Frankly, the last convo probably belonged in shitposting

shitposting is for everything else really.
plus you can actually preview media there

Oh shit

Noice

@Timcast doesn't seem to respond to emails with story tips

any better way of reaching him?

that won't result in a restraining order?

lol yes

Maybe he's doing something like sleeping or working on something else?

i mean, it's perfectly possible that I'm just interested in something retarded taht nobody else will care about

or that he can't understand spergy emails with a shitload of links

I generally give at least a few hours for a response to an email.

it's been 2 days

Ah, well then I don't know.

well, since he doesn't seem interested, I'll just post it here. https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/2018/04/27/san-francisco-public-library-hosts-transgender-art-exhibit-featuring-weapons-intended-to-kill-feminists

long story short, the San Fran Public library has an art exhibit featuring the "degenderettes"

including tons of weapons

"bloodstained" shirts with stuff like "I punch TERFS"

TERFs and other feminists are pissed, mostly because it glorifies violence by men against women

Ha nitpicky point, most violence against lesbians is committed by lesbians, contra article.

and are reviewbombing the library on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sfpl.org/reviews/?ref=page_internal

But interesting story I'm peeking at anyway.

nonstop arguing for several days in those facebook comments, many complaints of 1A violation censorship (since public libraries are gov.)

the library has double posted this in response: https://twitter.com/SFPublicLibrary/status/989219339306811392 but have not otherwise made comment
