The idea popped into my head and wouldn't go, so here's a silly little edit especially for the Finns in The Terror fandom. Enjoy! (Or don't.)

"The Fencing World Championships will introduce the "Sword Tip Visualization System." This system was developed by Japanese engineers, used at the Tokyo Olympics, and can track and display the sword tip's movement trajectory without any markers." (X)

Fencing tracking and visualization system

This website explains the process of our development from 2012 to the present.

here is more about the technology!

[white-throated-packrat]

I love this technology. It lets me actually understand what is going on and see how one fencer is able to get through by taking advantage of their opponent's large, open swings by tightly controlling how they move their own sword in smaller, more controlled circles.

Sir John Franklin, on the matter of mosquitoes :

The crew :

[ilmapatsas]

i loved that they could not stop talking about the fucked up mosquitoes - here are the full quotes:

"swarms of ‘mosquitoes’ as large, I was going to say, Eagles, as a blue bottle fly they stung us through our trowsers." - Charles Osmer

"the Mosquittoes are very troublesome to all. The bite of these flies is much more troublesome than the sting of a bee leaving the mark for many days." - Harry Goodsir

"the Miscatties is Very Thick. I have been sadly annoyed with them my face and hands is all swolled by them and the Chief part of the crew the same way." - James Reid

"there was plenty of Misketoes and they bite very bad my arms are very much bitten with them they are more venemous than the English Bugg some of the Men is blisterd all over the Face and Arms" - James Thompson

"Sargent & I went on shore this afternoon – for the sole purpose of taking a sketch of this place but were obliged to retire with the loss of one pound of flesh each – almost eaten by mosquitos –" - Edward Couch

"the Mosquitoes are troublesome to the thin skinned members of our party. They are of the large kind." - John Franklin, laconically

and of course:

"The mosquitoes are terrible, but they d’ont bite me as much as a great many people –" - James "I'm better than you" Fitzjames

[annecoulmanross]

The fact that Fitzjames was apparently blessed by the mosquito gods is amusing to me, because you know who wasn't? James Clark Ross.

In his 1835 narrative of the Victory Expedition—aka the Fury Beach disaster—John Ross wrote about "an annoyance from the mosquitoes [...] under which my nephew [James Clark Ross] suffered in a most extraordinary manner." (pg. 69)

Sir John then goes on to defend all those who complain about mosquitoes in the polar regions:

Who is it that abuses [Giuseppe] Acerbi for his eternal repetition of the sufferings he endured from these pestilent animals, which, in these climates, render every moment a torment, so as to occupy the entire attention, and to make it almost as impossible to act as to enjoy? Let them try the experiment, not of a whole summer, but of a single day in Sweden, or even here in Greenland; and I am mistaken if they do not justify the accumulated complaints of all the travellers that ever annoyed their readers with the records of what they had endured from this most incredible, and never to be forgotten generation of worse than vipers.

So this was clearly a topic of major debate in the nineteenth century!

There's this small statue at my workplace that looks like James Fitzjames... I'm obsessed
