Tonight: A Bit of Weimar

....but without the societal collapse and hyperinflation.


In just about an hour (8pm EDT/ Midnight UTC) we'll be showing THE SPIDERS, a 1919 action/suspense flick that just happens to be the oldest surviving film directed by Fritz Lang (Metropolis, M). 



This should be quite interesting so join us in chat over at https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet 

The film is a bit short, so we'll likely do a bit of gaming after the post film discussion.

Cancelled Stream

Tonight's stream is cancelled. 

There is no emergency.
However, last night I was informed that a friend I have not seen since 2019 (in the before time) is on this coast and in this town....for a day. 

Tomorrow's Genshin stream will proceed as planned.

Still Alive (For The Moment At Least)_

Everything is insane right now.

I have half written reviews, and spectacularly ill-informed commentary, but they will remain on hold for the moment. 

Despite being trapped in the internet, I'm somehow not going to have internet access this weekend. 

HOWEVER:

Next week's Twitch schedule is already up.
Highlights include GENSHIN 7.0 (!) and a silent adventure yarn on Saturday: The Spiders (Fritz Lang, 1919) 

All times are EDT (UTC-4)

It Won't Even Pop Corn

We've mentioned Solar Power Satellites on stream several times. 
An operational SPS will have the surface area of Manhattan (with the mass of a battleship!) and convert the sun's energy to microwaves, transmitting them to Earth to be converted into electrical power. 
The obvious inefficiencies of shifting from one energy type to another are dealt with by the fact that the energy is available in vast quantities and freely emitted by the big fusion reactor 93 million miles away. 

In response to the chatters who were concerned about the "Space Death Ray" I finally secured a picture of the associated rectenna array:


(1970s Promo Art From Boeing: Artist Unknown)

As you can see it's QUITE dispersed. 

The microwaves are spread out over a wide enough area that they are no danger, and, while one might not want residences in the transmission area, the land can be multi use, with agriculture or wildlife preserves going on unmolested.

We'll be discussing this onstream more when we have our next Science Adventure Stream, (very) tentatively Scheduled for Sept. 30th.
