CAS, Musings, and Titans

Hi alls,Midterm results back! Meaning a wave of bi-polar happy-sad goopmush, which gets looked at, stared at, and thrown away because theres no time. Anime is a 50 unit class. (50 hrs a week), on top of normal classes, leaves no time for grit.Admittedly though, I watch far less than that now.

Vortex Mathemagics

Naturally, a large majority of characters in Shounen(targeted to teen male audiences) fighting Manga/Anime come with their own secret, all powerful, technique, which will, when activated, take down their opponent in a flashy explosive ball of fire, or otherwise materialized mass of destruction. One of my personal favorites is Zekka, a character from “Battle Angel Alita: Last Order”, whose ultimate technique, the Dragon Slayer, is a punch loaded with antimatter produced from the particle accelerator he molded out of his own abdomen. Zekka below: Large muscular men and flowers are totally compatible.And a detailed blueprint design of how to implement your own intra-particle accelerator.(read right to left)

Fleming's Momentum

Hi Alls,If any of you readers are familiar with A Certain Scientific Analysis from MIThttps://anime.scripts.mit.edu/miteiru/a-certain-scientific-analysis/you’ll know about Misaka’s railgun and the realistic numbers that go into analyzing it. If you’re unfamiliar, I highly recommend reading it. It’s quite an interesting read even for people who don’t follow Anime so much.

A Certain Magical Mind

Hi alls,Now you’re on your merry way perusing through the lands battling monsters, rescuing damsels, and most importantly leveling up, and that’s all good. But then you realize, you’re really slow! Certainly, people have told you the entirety of Caltech fantasy-scape could be traversed in 7mins, and it’s probably true if by 7 they meant 15mins. Which is mildy worse but wouldn’t be a problem if only the Magic trainer and Swordwork trainer didn’t have their lessons back to back on opposite sides of the map. (Braun gym is on the South West side of campus while Annenberg building is on the North East.) So you decide it’s a worthy investment to get a horse (bicycle). Unfortunately, there are thieves prowling about, exiles from other worlds, waiting to get the chance to steal your horse. So it’s a natural idea to get safety in the form of a U-lock. This U-lock is about the size of a door and goes around your horse to keep it safely secured in a stable (bike rack). But sadly, the thieves are wily and have developed a method of splicing animals together. They no longer need your entire horse and are simply content to steal it’s back legs which are then kept in storage until next needed. Just a warning that although the honorcode makes sure no Caltech member will take unfair advantage of another, people from off campus do frequently steal bikes, occasionally taking them apart and stealing just wheels. Curiously, the back wheel of my bike, and the front wheel of someone else with a very similar looking bike were stolen. Mystery Nut X now has a full set of wheels…So careful where you park.
