In the year 536AD a small loaf of bread might cost you 2500USD in gold. This was due to a volcanic eruption (possibly two) which caused a long period of darkness reducing crop yields or causing them to fail completely. It is known as the worst possible year to be alive in the last 2000 years.

Vape I took apart today, it has a flexible PCB that has some functional lights on it to indicate capacity of fluid (a guess at it at least) and, power levels. Pretty cool. I think 2 microcontrollers were used for this which seems like a waste, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to repurpose them.

Beautiful close up of what I assume to be wolf spider. Love the texture of it's furry bristly coating.

This cat is a killing machine. They definitely can have devastating effects on animal population. I have seen this cat eat an iguana longer than har body.
