Made during wartime in Japan, this gun is one of many interesting pieces of technology crafted during the war. Mounted on the inside of a plane, this gun was used to train gunners and sometimes aid in combat. The 35mm film would turn with the pull of the trigger and document a gunner's accuracy. In battle, this machine gun showed the targets that were hit and helped determine the success of missions. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1743908403.jpg The slow loris is a unique small monkey found in Southeast Asia. What makes it special is that it is one of the few primates that can produce venom. It has special glands in its elbows that create a toxin, which is quite unusual for a monkey. This toxin helps protect it from predators and makes it a fascinating animal to study. When a slow loris feels threatened, it uses its venom in a clever way. It licks the toxin from its elbows and then mixes it with its bite. This combination can cause a lot of pain to whoever gets bitten. The slow loris does not attack often, but if it does, it can deliver a painful surprise. This is part of how it stays safe in the wild. The slow loris is not just interesting because of its venom, but also because it is often seen as cute with its big eyes and slow movements. However, people need to be careful not to touch or handle them, as they can be dangerous. Protecting slow lorises and their habitats is important, especially since they are threatened due to habitat loss and wildlife trade. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1743908403.jpg |

Shortly after Custer's annihilation in 1876, construction started on Fort Custer near present-day Hardin (50 miles east of Billings, Montana). Standing behind the horses toward the right were American Indian scouts. Five large troop barracks were at the right of the parade track. During its peak, the fort had 70 buildings, 6-700 soldiers, and hundreds of civilian workers. During the 1890s, the fort had a Crow Indian cavalry troop as well as Buffalo Soldiers, Black American troops. The fort was closed in 1898 when soldiers were needed for the Spanish-American War. Fort Keogh, near present-day Miles City, had a similar design. Each site resembled a small town; neither had fortress walls.

In an extraordinary display of raw power and maternal instinct, a protective elephant mother defends her herd against a bold Cape buffalo in the heart of Kenya’s wild plains. What began as a tense standoff escalated into an unforgettable moment — the elephant forcefully lifted the buffalo into the air with a single tusk after a fierce head-on confrontation. Nature doesn't hold back.

This was a digital computer produced for the Apollo program that was installed on board each Command Module (CM) and Lunar Module (LM). The AGC provided computation and electronic interfaces for guidance, navigation, and control of the spacecraft. It was among the first computers based on silicon integrated circuits (ICs). The computer's performance was comparable to the first generation of home computers from the late 1970s, such as the Apple II and TRS-80. At around 2 cubic feet in size, AGC held 4,100 IC packages. The AGC has a 16-bit word length, with 15 data bits and one parity bit. Most of the software on the AGC was stored in a special read-only memory known as core rope memory, fashioned by weaving wires through and around magnetic cores, though a small amount of read/write core memory was available. Astronauts communicated with the AGC using a numeric display and keyboard called the DSKY (for “display and keyboard,” pronounced “DIS-kee”). The AGC and its DSKY user interface were developed in the early 1960s for the Apollo program by the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and first flew in 1966. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744166828.jpg What a difference 70 years makes: 3.75 MB in 1956 http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744166828.jpg |

Mistaking them for homework, Dantzig solved both within a few days and submitted them. Weeks later, Neyman excitedly informed him that he had unknowingly solved two of the most challenging unsolved problems in statistical theory. This remarkable achievement not only contributed significantly to the field but also earned Dantzig his doctorate. |

In 1968, a groundbreaking moment in the history of computing occurred during the first public demonstration of a computer mouse, graphical user interface (GUI), windowed computing, hypertext, and word processing. This event, held at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, showcased the vision of computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart and his team at the Stanford Research Institute. It was a demonstration that introduced many of the concepts and technologies that would revolutionize personal computing in the decades to come. During the demonstration, Engelbart used a computer mouse to interact with a graphical interface, a novel concept at the time, enabling users to navigate and manipulate computer systems in a way that was far more intuitive than the command-line interfaces then in use. The demonstration also highlighted the potential of windowed computing, where multiple tasks could be managed simultaneously, as well as the integration of hypertext, allowing users to navigate through interconnected information, laying the foundation for the internet as we know it today. This demonstration, often referred to as "The Mother of All Demos," was a pivotal moment in the development of modern computing. It revealed the future of personal and interactive computing, where users could engage with machines in a far more dynamic and accessible way. Engelbart’s innovations would later become integral to the development of modern personal computers, shaping the way we interact with technology in both professional and personal contexts. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744235052.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744235052.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744235052.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1744235052.jpg |

What would be more creepy, a photo of a 28 yo little woman in a bikini, or a photo of a normal sized woman in a bikini that looks 18 or 19 but in reality is 16? The latter seems far more likely. Is a picture of a little woman more creepy than a picture of an unusually tall woman? (Ekaterina Lisina ~6'9") https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a8/26/54/a...669f9a744b.jpg |
