Month: August 2023
When the book of the bible you’re scheduled to read next month is a shorty like Baruch.
But knowing that Ezechiel is on the horizon…
- Weight: about 14.6 pounds (6630 grams)
- It probably smells faintly of blood
Why blood? Because hemoglobin in our blood has a lot of iron and thus has a metallic scent, similar to the coppery smell of a bunch of pennies collected together.
People who do things like floor an entire room in pennies counsel that you really need to seal/varnish the finished surface otherwise the smell can be pervasive.
what if i want to smell like blood?
You want vampires? Because that’s how you get vampires.
i mean….
Kinda forgot what website they were on for a minute, huh?
It had finally arrived in the mail.
A reading on the train simulator would require:
- Train sway rocker base upon which is bolted two standard passenger train seats, one to sit on and one ahead of that seat to glance at occasionally
- Train sway must be programmed for random jostles and jolts
- Acceleration and deceleration simulation with the seat rocker as the train simulation stops at programmed points in the simulation
- Monitor in place of a window on the right side with 4K 60FPS day and night loops of passing neighborhoods and vistas as viewed from the upper level of a two-level passenger train
- Air conditioner flowing past constantly, ensuring warmth never occurs during the simulated train ride
- Faux train interior dressing for the left and front views of the participant viewing area to ensure immersion during the reading experience
- Speaker system
- Train conductor voice recordings of upcoming stations with appropriate level of poor speaker system muffling
- Programmed cessation of seat jostling during scheduled stops
- Random stops and conductor announcements of an obstruction on the tracks
- Nice to have: an entire passenger train car in which the simulator is constructed, thereby maximizing immersion and eliminating the need for set dressing
