#springs — Public Fediverse posts

I would not want a man standing over me as I bathed.

The Ozark Sanatorium bath house, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, had just opened months before it was destroyed by a fire in 1913.

So, this did not last long.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ⚙️🔩 Researchers created three mechanical computing #machines that function without a power source.

By connecting #steel bars with tuned #springs, the devices can count pushes and identify odd or even #numbers. The hardware can withstand severe #heat and #radiation that would normally melt standard #silicon #computer chips.

How to Remove Bounce When Bouncy Objects Encounter Bounciness

Alright, future engineers!
**Elastic Pot. Energy:** Energy stored in a deformed elastic object (e.g., spring).
Ex: `PE = 0.5kx^2` (k=spring constant, x=deform.).
Pro-Tip: Always positive, whether stretched or compressed, because `x` is squared!

🌍🌋 Three tectonic plates are pulling apart in northeastern #Ethiopia to create the #Danakil Depression. This geological rift contains #magma pools and acidic #springs where the average temperature exceeds 46ºC.

Scientists visit the site to study #polyextremophiles which are #bacteria that survive in environments with no oxygen and high acidity.

#WorldWaterDay – #WaterIsLife, not a commodity

March 22, 2026

"On World Water Day, it is crucial to remember that water is not just a natural resource. It is a fundamental human right and a common good that must be protected and shared.

"The global water crisis is not driven by absolute scarcity, but by management models that turn water into profit, stripping it away from communities and #ecosystems.

"Defending water means supporting #RegenerativeFarming practices, protecting territories and respecting natural cycles. Within the '#TerraeVivae' community regeneration programme, two projects have been dedicated specifically to water. 'Water is Life' has focused on the deep links between water, #biodiversity and culture, while the '#BlueCommunities' project has sought to translate these principles into political action, encouraging local communities to join a global movement in defense of water.

"Born from the work of #MaudeBarlow, the Council of Canadians and the Blue Planet Project, Blue Communities are communities that take on clear commitments: recognising the human right to water and sanitation; maintaining and strengthening public, participatory management of water; and gradually phasing out bottled water in public spaces and institutional events, in favour of tap water. Launched in 2009 in Canada as a response to #WaterPrivatisation, the initiative has since spread to dozens of cities worldwide, including Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Munich, Zurich and Los Angeles. On World Water Day 2026, #NavdanyaInternational, as part of the Italian Committee for the recognition of Blue Communities, is pleased to welcome the city of Udine into the Blue Communities network. As the first Italian city to join the global movement, Udine stands as an example and a starting point for further expanding the reach and impact of Blue Communities around the world.

"In the context of World Water Day 2026, dedicated to the relationship between water and gender, the initiatives surrounding Udine’s recognition as a Blue Community help weave together local and global dimensions. Defending equitable access to water also means addressing the inequalities that affect women, girls and communities most exposed to the water crisis. It also means strengthening tools for knowledge, monitoring and participation – from local observatories to educational pathways – to take care of #rivers, #aquifers, #springs and #wetlands as ecological infrastructures essential for life and for the climate.

"Today more than ever, in a context of #ClimateCrisis and intensive exploitation of resources, there is an urgent need to shift paradigm: from water as a commodity to water as a common good.

"Protecting water is a political, social and environmental act. It is a daily choice, and a collective one. Because water is life. And life is not for sale."

@jerry maybe balance out the fan with rgb lites - my natural response - just like you balance a tire. particles are affected by nothing - you may still get some fx. you will probably take fan down and paint everything flat white, soften everything

[I still remember a talk that @RelaenaSindelar gave about pharmaceuticals in the waste stream; one of her examples was Sequim, WA - in the banana belt - with retirement communities' flushed medications’ and the downstream/coastal effects - NOT the Grand Canyon! :( ]

#Wildflower seekers typically must wait until February or March to see blankets of color in #Borrego #Springs but,
thanks to the early autumn rain,
the blooms are arriving early.

Last weekend, visitors walking through
⭐️Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and nearby areas
found tall, bright sunflowers, deep pink desert sand-verbena, basket evening primrose and even elusive desert lilies, which thrilled photographers like myself

💥 In what might be the most #groundbreaking #revelation since the discovery of gravity, somehow #rally #games teach us that cars are, in fact, #bouncy springs! 🎢 Apparently, controlling a 1000 kg hunk of metal is all about understanding #physics, but don't worry—momentum is the only thing that matters. Who knew? 🙄

A slingshot is retro technology. A slingshot as powerful that it can shoot through concrete is future technology. This is a fun video to watch
