ATLANT - multieffect unit
“Soviet heavyweight multieffect unit. A true Soviet design, you could probably kill with this one - it weighs 5.9kg. While many durable stompbox reviews usually state "you could probably run a tank over it", this time it's for real. All the knobs and switches are made to withstand a nuclear explosion.
The control pedals are Wha and Volume, in the upper row the knobs are labelled (left to right) Wha, Effect and Fuzz-Organ. On the right you have two potentiometers that you can rotate with your foot, with the upper labelled "sensitivity" and the lower - "Fuzz-Organ".
The last picture shows a rear panel, we still need to identify which secret military plant made this bomb.

I don’t know if I’m late to the party here noticing this, but @staff what the actual hell is this. This is what I get when I click on the link to my own mantis shrimp post, shared on Twitter. I can see the first half, and then I get forced to log-in to keep reading.
I write a free blog on your free platform, and you’re using link sharing on mobile to try to force people to sign up? Not only is this absolutely not okay - this isn’t a paywalled site and my content isn’t subscription only - but it really fucks me over as a science communicator who relies on posts being shared easily to disseminate information.
This is absolutely not okay. I’ve used this site for eight years to do for science outreach and loved it. This choice leaves a really nasty taste in my mouth.

When I think about American attitudes to parenting there's something that always comes to mind, but I don't know whether it's a real thing. All my life in American films and TV I've heard child characters addressing their dads as "sir" or being told off for not doing so.
Is that really a commonplace thing in American families, or is it just a shorthand way of showing that the character is a shitty dad?
