William Roentgen demonstrates X-ray machines in Omaha, 1898

In the late 19th century, X-rays set America’s imagination ablaze. Only three years after its discovery by William Roentgen, the mysterious radiation went on display in this free-standing pavilion at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition of 1898 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Here, X-ray machines let attendees glimpse the interiors of everyday objects as well as their own bodies, blissfully unaware the devices were zapping them with 1,500 times as much radiation as contemporary X-ray machines. Even when their hair fell out, they embraced the rays as an early, and effective, depilatory.

What Is Mutual Combat?

what is mutual combat

What do you call a bar fight that doesn’t happen at a bar? This isn’t the lead-in for a joke, we’re genuinely curious. It turns out there is a term that defines those agreed-upon altercations. Whether you take it outside or are already there, a conflict that breaks out with consent is called “mutual combat.”

World chess champion Garry Kasparov during the first six-game match against IBM supercomputer Deep Blue, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, February 10-17th, 1996

First people thought that chess engines could never beat humans, and then Deep Blue showed them that this is wrong. This changed the way grandmasters thought about computers, and soon enough chess engines became a part of every top-level player’s toolbox. This eventually affected the way tournaments are held as well, because the rules had to be changed so that games have to be completed during one day and they cannot be adjourned, because computer analysis during the break would affect the game too much.

Confessions of a Former QAnon Conspiracy Theorist

How did you get in to Q in the first place?

I had been DEEP into conspiracy for about 8 years. Had very recently been down the ufo paranormal rabbit hole so when Q really took off midterm for trump I “did my research” and fell right into it.

Do you mind describing what you thought research was and how you’d go about doing it?

Oh research is just going down rabbit hole links and back alley corners of the net. Let’s not kid ourselves and think it’s anything fancy. Unfortunately an ignorance of the world and overconfidence in one’s own critical thinking leads to believing in stupid shit

Scold's Bridle

(photo: Jecini Colorizations)

Scold’s Bridle from Armagh Jail – Ireland. early 1900s – a woman sitting with the bridle over her face, to stop her from speaking.

A scold’s bridle, sometimes called a witch’s bridle, a brank’s bridle, or simply branks, was an instrument of punishment, as a form of torture and public humiliation. The device was an iron muzzle in an iron framework that enclosed the head (although some bridles were masks that depicted suffering). A bridle-bit (or curb-plate), about 2 in × 1 in (5.1 cm × 2.5 cm) in size, was slid into the mouth and pressed down on top of the tongue as a compress. This prevented speaking and resulted in many unpleasant side effects for the wearer, including excessive salivation and fatigue in the mouth.

First recorded in Scotland in 1567, the branks were also used in England and its colonies. The kirk-sessions and barony courts in Scotland inflicted the contraption mostly on female transgressors and women considered to be rude, nags or common scolds.
