so I can reply but also not clutter everything with many posts, thanks for bearing with me.
@megacarapa No, thank you! That gif took so long to make, and I rarely get to use it lol. I had to undo a panning shot, and erase Senku in order to loop it.
Check out this weird left over file from the process, you can see a bit of Senku under where I patched him off, and the subtitles moving as the image panned

Multimeter:
You don't understand, that's the multimeter I used for most of the last decade, even at the labs in university. I bought it from some guy on the street (I swear this is normal) cause it was very cheap, and it needed repairs which I did.
I gotta admit I love me an old instrument though. I think it's from the early 1970's as it's made with point to point connection (no circuit board) but it doesn't have the old Sanwa logo.
Fun fact, to this day they still sell knockoffs of these old japanese Sanwa multimeters, under brands such as Sunma, Sunwa, etc (and they're still not cheaper than I paid for the og). My first multimeter when I was a kid was a knockoff 'Munwha' I believe, wish I still had it regardless.
If you want me to flex a real antique one, check out the Weston Selective Analyzer 665. This multimeter is from the 1930's.
(also makes me wonder if there was a Weston Selective Analyzer 666)
The 'high grid test' and 'low grid test', the series capacitor condenser for the AC voltage scales, and the 'press to read' button are features that have long disappeared from multimeters as far as I can tell.
Senku:
It's hard for me to describe how much this series helped me pull through a comically dark time in my life.
Senku is a very inspiring character, despite how much I like to dunk on him. When I needed a bit of inspiration the most, I was inspired to shamelessly and unapologetically pursue my interests in science and engineering that I had been growing increasingly disenchanted with after too many years in academic hell. Despite the fact that I am literally building a career on these interests, I have always been shamed for pursuing them in a non professional or academic way.
The dude said "get excited", and I did.
So, the fact that you perceive me that way, is really flattering to me, and I truly appreciate it, thank you.
🅱️enis:
I'll have you remember that the og KoS flag featured only one phallic shape and was designed by Yuzu, go figure what she was thinking of.
Someone must've decided it wasn't gay enough by the time Ryusui came around, and thus added a second one in conjuction (a design which Ryusui was the first to wear).
No idea who did it though, but I am putting suspicion on the artists (yuzu and namari) and Gen, because he likes to mess with people, of course.
Wonder what the Ishigami villagers thought of this pattern, as they were exposed to this design long before they had any knowledge or remotely accurate concept of a rocket or spaceship...
... but they certainly knew other things.
Moving on
@aresagainstthemachine Hello again
Yes, as you say the frequencies are kinda fixed. Both the transmit and receive frequency depend in part to the capacitance of the antenna to the surrounding environment, there was even one occasion where hand capacitance to the large coil made this behave sorta like a theremin. (video there, but I no longer use this twitter).
Receive mode is a bit more complicated as adjusting the feedback/tickler coil to bring up the gain also shifts the frequency somewhat. Tuning regenerative radios is always a process of getting closer and closer adjusting the tuning capacitor of the front end and the coupling of the feedback.
Now aparently I had some sort of mental void between then and now, 'cause the other day I was cleaning some boxes and I found this object
Then I remembered that back in the day I meant to discretely install this small variable capacitor to have at least a small amount of tuning control on the receiving coil. I guess I ended up not doing it when I saw it happened to fall near an existing station and adding this would have thrown that off.
Feel free to message me if you got any more electronics questions, that'd be easier and I'd be happy to chat.
Also thanks everyone for the reblogs and nice comments :)
Ryusui & François duo on the brain after episode 2
further thoughts below cut 🍞
A few hcs:
Based on their character sheet, francois hides their fatigue around people and keeps up high endurance, only resting when alone, i like to think the alone doesn't include ryusui. Francois understands ryusui's thought process pretty easily so i like to think it's mutual
This one's a joint funny hc from @ri-cakes and i where Francois isn't even their og name, they hadn't chosen a name yet for themselves nor did they provide one for ryusui but he started calling them francois and they liked it so they kept it as their new name
Senku has nothing against dresses he just likes simpler designs (exhibit a his 'labcoat') and the frills weren't helping, Ryusui tho, as seen from his collection experiments with styles and lemme just say, he do look good in that dress
I like both redhead and blonde francois so this is less of a hc and more of a stylistic choice but francois with blond hair and redish tips, gradient of both. booM there we go, solved.
