  6. If you've ever heard of the Mould effect (named for Steve Mould of YouTube science video fame), here's a cool bit from Fran of FranLab talking about her collab with him where she tested his hypothesis during a zero-G flight:

  7. I just came across a video about the ALCO Mosaic 7-Segment Display, a 7-segment display from the 1970s.

    By the way, that's why I love Fran Blanche Lab—always new vintage tech to discover. She is just a great creator! youtu.be/7WptvceHhoU

  12. Very interesting video by Fran Blanche about the long term effects of a past covid infection which she is still working through.

    Fran is obviously bright and sensitive, and she's also very honest. She describes how she has had to change her behaviour.

    OTOH, there are potentially millions of people around us whose mental performance is reduced but who are either unaware, in denial, or dishonest, and who are nevertheless continuing to expose the rest of us to the result of their impaired brain performance, whether the results are poorer driving ability, poor decisions made when voting, or indeed poor leadership when in positions of power.

    Many people in leadership positions have had covid infections, and at this point in history we seem to have a lot of very poor decisions being made.

  13. Kind of a mutual aid request here. I've been supporting Fran (of FranLab and Frantone fame) for quite some time via Patreon and YouTube. Sadly this year she is needing a bit of extra help with her healthcare expenses (Ugh stupid US way we end up paying so much). If you do have the spare change, maybe send some her way:

  18. Watching Fran or Adrian repair things is about as close as my brain lets me get to meditation.

    Everything quiets down in my head as soon as a circuit board is exposed.
