VHS Memory Magic (...or junk)
ALL-ACCESS Mid-Week Rambler video
Hellllllleeeeeewwwwwww!
As is our standard over here at NETV, the first post of every month is ALL ACCESS to ALL SUBSCRIBERS, and this is that post!!! This week’s episode is sliding out into the electronic ether on Wednesday evening… perhaps even while you slumber… to be viewed by you goodness only knows when! First thing in the morning? Watch it in the shower, with a clear plastic freezer bag tucked snugly across your laptop to mitigate water damage? Watch while you jog? While you eat a hearty bowl of Snackle-Jacks or Fruity-Toots? This is all speculation on my part. The marrow of the matter is that this new episode of NETV has plopped in your inbox, so whenever you deem appropriate, DIVE ON IN!!!
And that was that! REMEMBER: a new episode hits once-per-month for Free Subscribers, but if you think you might enjoy this kind of low-level learning and pointless rambling on a WEEKLY basis (middle of every week, specifically!) consider becoming a Paid Subscriber! Either way, thanks for being here…it’s truly appreciated! AND… since this is an all-access post, feel free to share it with anyone you think may want to watch. Use the handy orange button below!
And now some links…
Here’s a link to my guest appearance on the EVIL MEN PODCAST as mentioned.
Here’s a link to a video about THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM.
And, of course, my LIVE STAND-UP SHOW SCHEDULE.
If I can add a bit to the simple machine discussion. While the person who commented pointed out that a simple machine (like the incline plain) doesn’t have moving parts, the machine itself doesn’t have move, it has to cause motion to be a machine. Thats where the “applying a force to do work on a load” part of the definition comes in. You must cause motion to do work. If you try to lift something and it doesn’t move, you applied forced but did no work. So while the incline plain doesn’t move, it reduces the force required to “lift” an object, so if your slide or roll something up the incline plain it is allowing you to do work, and making that work easier makes it a machine.
I would also contend that a screw is just a more complex version of an incline plain, since it is essentially just an incline plain wrapped around an axis. Are you aware I was a math and science guy on school? 😁
I hope I got this all correct, despite my education, I basically got hit in the head for a living much of my adult life. 🤷♂️
I kept all of my vinyl from the 70s and 80s (or my parents did - and yes, I should get the rest of them since I'm 58). But there's a new little record store near my house now and it is quite fun to browse!
