#WhatsHappeningInThailand

15/10/2020 7PM

POLICE ARE USING TEARGAS AND WATER CANNONS AGAINST PEACEFUL, UNARMED PROTESTERS.

THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US. I’M FUCKING ANGRY THAT I CAN ONLY SIT HERE AND UPDATE SHIT.

PLEASE REBLOG AND SIGNAL BOOST.

[coffeeandpies-deactivated202012]

This was the photo right before the break up of the protest.

We are unarmed. We have only our umbrellas.

They started it first. How fucking inhumane.

[coffeeandpies-deactivated202012]

A child was hit by teargas. A Child.

A monk in the protest literally prayed and begged the police to stop. 

Dozens of people are injured from the water cannon.

My friends are freaking there. And I’ve lost contact with them. The last text I sent was to go to our campus because it is safer there.

I’m so angry. Dear international followers, please acknowledge and please boost this post.

I’m sorry for swear words but I just can’t tolerate this shit anymore. I’m ashamed that I can only sit here, translating and donating. But I’m going to keep updating the situation nonetheless.

If you are unaware, the Thai people are protesting against monarchy and asking for abolishment or reform to their government so that they can have a true democracy.

This began because the Future Forward Party, a political group pushing for democratic reform, was forcefully disbanded by the unjust court.

Currently, two protesters face life imprisonment and >50 more have been arrested since the start of these protests.

Please show support to the group of students organizing, เยาวชนปลดแอก, (Free Youth) and spread the word.

Time to start arting again. Is Tumblr dead?

[maybesimon]

the sad thing about getting older is that i need to read quality fanfics instead of base-rate fanfics to get my Feels

[etirabys]

one of life’s most crushing blows, it’s true

[hohoehoes]

my favourite thing about tumblr is there is not one mention of sports

[achromic-red-dreams-doze-angrily]

Me, at fictional characters: THIS WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM IF YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS

Me, in real life: if i give even the vaguest notion of my feelings to anybody i would die

Say you’re a radio reciever creator and you want to know the direction of a single radio transmitter off in the distance.

You could do a sane thing and record the signal strength in every direction with a directional antenna (DA) system. DAs are things like dishes and Yagi antennas that attempt to pick up radio signals in a very specific direction or just a small cone. To get the signals in every direction with a DA, you might have a spinning dish, or a fixed circular array of outward-pointing Yagi.

Below: a Yagi-Uda antenna.

You might even be able to make a wide array of unidirectional recievers and count the phase shift differences/Time difference of arrival (TDoA) of the radio wave to determine the relative distance between your recievers. This gives you a “fix” (set of coordinates) of the possibile locations the reciver is at.

You could also do multiple directional antenna arrays with TDoA and boost that accuracy.

Or…

Or you could go balls to the wall insane witht this bad boy. We call him the doppler antenna.

The diagram shows it all, and if you’re aware of the doppler effect, it should make sense.

The antenna swings towards the transmitter, and the signal gets faster. Swing the antenna away, and the signal gets slower. This instead converts your problem from an amplitude modulation problem to a frequency modulation problem. However, there is one teeny tiny catch:

To get a useful doppler effect, we have to swing this motherfucker at 20,000 rpm. That’s fucking fast, even for F1 racing engines, which glow red hot at that speed. Normal cars can usually go 7000 rpm max. Just think about that. Nobody in their right fucking mind would do this. It’s really hard to swing an off-center metal bar at 20,000 rpm without putting yourself at risk of launching a metal beam in a random direction at twice the speed of sound.

Fortunately, there’s another way, and it’s really clever. I’d like you to meet a pseudo-doppler array. I hope you don’t find it as inexplicably terrifying as I do.

Here we have a large circle of antennas, and we use electronics and fast clocks to only take input from one antenna at a time, and that antenna is always moving around the circle. Therefore it’s like the receiving antenna moves around in a circle really fast, but we don’t have moving parts. Cool huh?

I thought so too.

Now you know 👉🏼😎👉🏼

The breadsticks thing to me is hilarious I think it must be another Europe/America thing bc my whole life ‘breadsticks’ have been these hard crunchy thin stick things you buy them at the supermarket and it says breadsticks on the box Never in my life has anyone around me referred to an actual stick of bread as a breadstick lmao But then we don’t have Olive Garden either

[newblogisnotjustanoxymoron-deac]

wait, that’s not what they’re talking about?

[wildwood-faun]

Are you telling me this meme is not about grissini? My life is a lie!

[stammsternenstaub]

WHAT

[entomancy]

I… did wonder why there would be such a focus on going to somewhere with unlimited dry wheat twigs.  Googling ‘olive garden breadsticks’ does seem to suggest a tastier thing.

Huh.

[crumplelush]

this changes everything

[little-fleur-deactivated2015103]

I mean, I thought it was odd that they everyone was so excited about breadsticks… but then I thought, well, it’s America…

[lachatblanche]

Wait they’re talking about actual bread???

[kernezelda]

grissini:

breadsticks:

[cyanwrites]

… I want American breadsticks. ;_;

@goodbyecassiel - this is the Great Breadstick Misunderstanding, companion to the Epic Lemonade Confusion post

[accursedvoid]

@charlottedabookworm my life is a lie

[charlottedabookworm]

Omfg same

wtaf why did nobody ever tell us they were talking about actual bread?!?!

[garrettauthor]

We literally did tell you. We. We used the word BREAD.

[ardent-ace]

but………… those aren’t breadsticks!

[garrettauthor]

They are sticks.

Of bread.

🤷‍♂️

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

We didn’t know you had breadtwigs instead.

[defectivegembrain]

OH the joke is funnier than previously thought because those are bigger and therefore it would be harder and more socially awkward to shove them into your purse! Lol

[runcibility]

I feel like this is explaining a joke to Vulcans who are totally game to try humor, and I’m loving it.

[twocubes]

thhh thing looks better without the clipping…

[twocubes]

with clipping… hrrr look i think the thing with trying to make manga out of latex is it’s… slow

[sequintial]

LaTeX MANGA????

[twocubes]

look i know how to do One thing

[the-real-numbers-deactivated202]

@twocubes arrested for LaTeX crimes? More likely than you think.

i am a simple man. i search for warmth and tiny spaces to curl up in

[weirdpostarchive-deactivated201]

i like to have my head petted also

[marmorbun]

I diagnose you with cat

There’s no text here and it still manages to make a very compelling argument.

[tramtheram]

I don’t like this argument.
