Interesting story of a #women owned #garage in #Yorkshire in the 1980s (and the ladies who ran it were also #lesbian #activists). Whilst society has got marginally better for #LGBT people in the meantime, its still a shame that even today such a business remains unusual (whilst there are slightly more female #mechanics, they are still relatively rare or dependent on men as employers, and other women tend to just end up in admin roles) #automotive #cars
Giving @davepolaschek's suggestion a try. The T-40 wheel I found in the garage is getting some use as uh, round lever? What do you even call this.
It kinda worked. Well, it didn't budge as I was pulling, but when it fell over while under tension it levered the beam out of the ground sideways and a little forward.
Still refuses to go further, but I'm having a strong coffee and sweets and shall stubbornly continue.
An Article in the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics on Turbulence by KR Sreenivasan and J Schumacher
https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031620-095842
What is the turbulence problem, and when can we say it’s solved? This deep dive by Sreenivasan & Schumacher explores the math, physics, and engineering challenges of turbulence—from Navier-Stokes equations to intermittency and beyond. A must-read for anyone fascinated by chaos, complexity, and the unsolved mysteries of fluid dynamics!
A summary of the talk presented by KR Sreenivasan in December 2023 at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in Bengaluru, as part of a program on field theory and turbulence.

Mein Mondphasenrechner https://www.thomasweibel.ch/meton/ zeigt, wie sich ein antikes astronomisches Konzept visualisieren und am Ende, dank Open-Source-Software und 3D-Drucker, gar in einen physischen Rechner verwandeln lässt. Einmal Antike retour: Am 17. Mai sind meine Mondrechner und ich zu Gast am Open Education Day in Bern.
