The reason I got tumblr in the first placeš This is my first big project I've done in a while (technically it could be my first big project but eh)
hi everyone, this is a gofundme my friend's dad made for an orphanage in Gaza. Please donate or just share if you can't
I want Kanade and Rui to meet! i feel like Kanade would be the first and only person who could reasonably hold a conversation with Rui when he goes technobabble.
Tsukasa would be so proud of Rui for making friends

You may send me thematic description, or a few words you like to use in the poem. You may also request a form (like a sonnet, or prose poem, so on). Or an āafterā poem. You may suggest a title. I assert full and exclusive rights to my work and may want to publish them at a later point. I will acknowledge and thank you for your generosity but this will remain my work. Note re:prompts that Iām going to be upfront about it if I have nothing to say on the subject. Or if it isnāt my place to write about something. Please donāt send me prompts that are nsfw or fandom-based.

I love how of all the minor characters to get a cult following its this fucked up bundle of anxiety lawyer
my only request for the next movie is More Doug, more Doug would be nice

How could Mauga do such a thing? š
NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than youād expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agencyās engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.
As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure theyāre properly equipped to win.
The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.
When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.
Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASAās Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.
After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the companyās high-performance footwear based on these observations.
Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.
In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.
Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.
Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesnāt work when youāre practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

Ohno-
Since these skins came out for Archives without a lore tie-in, my new headcanon for them is that Tracer tried to get Soldier 76 to dress up in matching outfits for some British history thing, and Jack was so annoying that he felt the need to buy an entire 1700s American soldier outfit and show up to the event with it just to prove that he wasnāt here for all of this British nonsense.
