I am particularly tickled by the fact that every AI ad is selling me the ability to do all those things that the security ads have been telling me NOT to do for the past couple of decades

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Always been curious to try acoustic levitation after the breakthrough demonstrations in 2017 using the transducers that became so common with the HC-SR04 module. Finally picked up a cheap kit to give it a go... Satisfyingly pointless;-) leap.tardate.com/kinetics/lev... #electronics

LEAP#849 Ultrasonic Levitator Kit

Investigate acoustic levitation by building a cheap ultrasonic levitator kit that uses common 40kHz ultrasonic transmitters driven by STC15F101W microcontroller and a TC4427 power MOSFET.
