Old trucks used a mechanical backup bell that rang when the wheels turned in reverse. No wires needed, just simple engineering.

Long before modern tech, before robots and automation took over the world, something extraordinary was already happening in ancient China. Around 2400 years ago, a group known as the Mohists turned ideas into real machines. They weren't just thinkers-they were engineers ahead of their time. Led by Mozi (470-391 BCE), these innovators designed mechanical birds that could move on their own, built advanced defensive systems, and explored complex concepts like levers, pulleys, optics, and geometry-centuries before similar developments in the West. Their knowledge was recorded in the Mozi, proving that their creations were not myths, but real engineering achievements. This was a time where philosophy met precision engineering, where creativity turned into functional machines. Automation didn't start in Silicon Valley-it started in ancient China. ancient engineering, Chinese innovation, Mozi philosophy, early automation, mechanical inventions, ancient technology.

N3 used to be a great drive. Suddenly trucks think that every single lane belongs to them! In the last 5yrs, trucks numbers increased at unexplainable rates. Greed killed cargo rail. Durban is the busiest port in sub-Saharan Africa, they surely can’t just be using the road!!

Design Engineering Tip: Add friction at the end of a scroll interaction. When users reach the edge of a scrollable area, the movement should not just stop instantly. A subtle resistance, bounce, or slowdown can make the interface feel more physical and less mechanical. It helps users understand that they reached a boundary without needing extra labels or visual indicators. Used carefully, this can make scrolling feel more natural and closer to how objects behave in the real world.

Instead of a traditional mechanical connection between the steering wheel and front wheels, electronic signals control the steering - allowing Lexus to completely rethink the driving experience. The result? A dramatically different steering wheel design, a steering ratio that adapts depending on speed, and fewer hand movements needed when navigating tight corners or parking. It looks futuristic... but would you actually want to drive a car like this every day? 🤔

They just don’t build them like they used to. This 1955 7-Up Westinghouse slider is a masterclass in mid-century design. Back then, a dime didn’t just buy you a drink; it bought you an experience. No digital screens, no "out of order" software glitches—just pure, mechanical genius. There’s a certain magic to hearing that bottle slide through the rack and pop out ice-cold. It reminds me of those days when things were built to last a lifetime, not just until the next upgrade.

When “Free Palestine” is shouted after shooting Jews, when “Globalize the Intifada” becomes a call to attack more Jews, when the keffiyeh is worn by those who torch synagogues, then these are no longer symbols of peace. If they’re being used to justify murder, they have no place in universities. It’s as simple as that.

moment that sets the internet on fire—especially when you put the filtered, high-energy world of N3on in the same room with Larry Wheels. In a recent stream that has everyone talking, N3on was left visibly stunned. During a casual conversation with Larry Wheels, the conversation took a turn from PRs to personal lives. When Larry revealed that his wife isn't just a stunning supermodel, but also 10 years his senior, N3on’s reaction was exactly what you’d expect: pure, unedited shock.

I’m old enough to remember when the Zionists in my mentions were cheering on the settlers attacking food trucks destined for Gaza. Did they really not realize that meant the hostages would starve too?

Just so you know, the old UI is still in the files and they can easily revert it with a simple hotfix.

What happened here was that Minoru Suzuki pretty much challenged Takayama to a match, the bell rang, but Suzuki then said that the match would be postponed until Takayama could stand up and kick him in the face this got me good.. fuck😭♥️

Two hours on a train without WiFi means reverse engineering the Liquid Glass...liquid...effect? Reasonably simple API to work with: CASDFLayer, CASDFElementLayer and a CASDFEffect subclass, in this case CASDFFillEffect. You can wrap up in a UIView subclass, overriding layerClass to play nicely with higher-level UIKit animation abstractions.
