First time I’ve seen it with color
Some beautiful day, they’ll be able to record a video of it, so we can finally hear what they’re playing!
I imagine someone could do the math and figure out the range of possible notes that would come from a violin of that size.
Hopefully they’ll take into consideration that the poor water bear never received any formal training and is not playing the instrument properly.
Kinda hard to play it backwards like that.
Jimi hendrix would have liked a word.
Well well well.
Suppose a normal violin has strings of ~33cm length. The E-string would have a frequency of ~660 Hz. Let’s shrink that down to tardigrade dimensions (according to Google, it’s about 400μm).
I’m just going to assume the tardigrade violin has a string length of 60μm.
The frequency of strings also depends on tensile stress and mass density - let’s just assume that these scale proportionally.
So we can use the formula: f∝1/L (basically means, half the size means double the frequency).
Let’s calculate the scale factor s for the frequency:
L(real) = 330mm, f(real) = 660 Hz L(tardi) = 60μm.
s = L(real) / L(tardi) = 0.33 / 6 * 10⁻⁵ = 5500.
This means that the frequency of the tardigrade E-string would be:
f(tardi) = f(real) * s = f(real) * 5500 = 660Hz * 5500 = 3,630,000Hz = 3.63 megahertz, which is 181.5 times above than the human limit of 20kHz.
Difference in octaves… log2(3.63 Mhz / 660 Hz) = 15.7
That means the tardigade E-string is almost 16 octaves above the human one.
lol
Don’t worry, your lumber mill will still be there, it will just be owned by someone else.
Nah. A lot of these mills don’t open back up because it’s not profitable enough to retrograde them to handle smaller and smaller trees that are harvested.
Exactly, there was a huge covid boom for lumber mills and the market got saturated. Now all those small shops that opened during the boom can’t survive on the post Covid margins and are shutting down.
As much as Trump is a shitbag, this is probably more likely tied to changing mill economics post covid.
Usually a reopening also means inspections and addressing building and equipment safety concerns that could’ve been swept under the rug for decades

You have my logs and leafs bro.
Sounds good.
The less money this freak and his family have, the less they can contribute to felons, rapists, insurrectionists, and pedophiles.
Hope it hurts.
I wish it worked that way, but they can still vote and elect all the pedophiles, insurrectionists, rapists, and felons they want.
I used to have a lumber mill and now I work at KFC, look what the demonrats did to me, I’m voting red!
Hopefully they’ll just starve to death in a sewer then
Or a forest, surrounded by the trees they are unable to mill.
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His brother Stephen agrees: “I don’t think I had a choice to vote any other direction.”>
This got me. I would put money on that he would vote for Trump again.
“I wish more of my bones were broken”
Yeah because they won’t lose a lumber mill this time.
Right?!
He would have voted for Trump again, even if HE KNEW his business would go under?! Wtf are these people thinking? That’s some royal hate
Republicans don’t know how to think. All they know is what daddy tells them. lol
Idiots.
The “blind faith” demanded by religion has conditioned them to be the perfect marks for a con artist like Trump.
It’s just good old brainwashing. They believe that voting for democrats will ruin their life so they vote for republicans and if republicans ruin their life then it’s bad luck.
He committed member of the Pedophile Protection Team (PPT), aka, Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP).
That’s the amazing part. No, not them saying they’d still vote for Trump. The fact that they can still talk with half their face gnawed off. I just wonder - was it because of the “any Democrat/leftist bad” mentality, was it because she was a woman, or what it because she was black? He said it wasn’t anything said on the campaign, so it wasn’t how badly they tanked her run. Maybe a combo?
If you’re going to pull that dead end thinking, then how about trying to change the Republican party to help the American public? (I initially said “better”, but we’re starting at zero)
Jeebus! Even cockroaches learn over time. Magats truly are morons!
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
“If I vote for a Democrat they’ll probably take some of my money through taxes and I’ll be poor”
Trump wins and ruins their business, they lose all of their money.
“At least I’m not poor because of evil Democrat taxes”
They have truly been brainwashed. Whatever bad shit republicans do they still believe the Democrats must be worse, because the republicans told them so. Even though the republicans have provably been lying to them for years.
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
It shouldn’t. It’s very common on both sides of the aisle. Never heard “vote blue no matter who”? That term was coined and used by large swaths of non-Republicans who agreed to vote for someone they don’t agree with about everything. The fact is that it’s extremely rare for any voter to be 100% aligned with the views of the person they vote for.
Actually, if you think about it, isn’t it more selfish to change who you vote for based on how you personally are affected by their policies?
Legitimately the point of democracy. Vote for your best interests. If the turn out is good and the majority vote for their own best interests, you end up with more good being done for the majority rather than a small subset of the population (Billionares)

I personally don’t disagree, but I’m just making the point that from what I’ve seen, it seems like the above virtue only exists for most people up until the moment the Other Person’s best interests don’t align with theirs, at which point they’re instantly considered scum for voting for their own interests.
they’re instantly considered scum for voting for their own interests
Have you not noticed what community you’re in here? They voted against their own interests, because the alternative was voting for a black woman /* clutches pearls */. The entire point of this community is to call out people that vote against their own interests and then whine about the outcome.
Oh I absolutely get why billionares vote Republicans. Id even argue doing so isnt even a bad thing. The reason theyre pieces of shit is there brainwashing of idiots, bribes to subvert democracy, etc that rigs the playing field.
Yeah, but you don’t vote for Hitler unless you’re a cunt yourself!
…And the Left does the same thing.
Back in the day, a lot of folks couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Jimmy Carter because he wouldn’t take a strong stand on South African apartheid. We got ronald reagan who embraced embrace South Africa.
That’s not at all how that played out.
One, John Anderson ran as an independent in 1980, after losing the Republican primary. He had been a Republican until then. Early in that primary, he was a viable candidate for the nomination.
Anderson supported the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), as well as an extension to the time for it to be ratified. The Republican party did not. Carter refused to debate Anderson; Reagan did not. On top of all that, at the time, the conventional wisdom was that Carter was a weak president, partially because of the still-imprisoned diplomats in Tehran, and a failed attempt to extricate them - which Carter took full responsibility for.
Source: I was there.
If you’re going to put words in my mouth, please order a side of chips and salsa.
Show me where I said that was the only reason Carter lost.
Show me where I said you said that.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! 🤣
A human head weighs eight pounds.
Many Trump supporters would like to consider themselves to be “devoutly religious” (the way the treat others says otherwise, but that’s beside the point). People who are “devoutly religious” have a tendency to take things they are told as gospel (pun definitely intended), regardless of how utterly illogical and detached from reality it may be. If the “right” person comes along, 100% of what is said will be believed 100% of the time. It’s something that RepubliCons have taken advantage of for years, and it’s something that is second nature to con artists like Trump and that Nigerian prince that won’t stop sending me gods damned emails.
Meh. So long as they say sorry to Magical Sky Mummy every Sunday, they can do whatever they fucking want to. Don’t look to the religious for examples of humanity and decency.
Never get to read any of the “I voted for Trump, now I’ve got a six figure income bashing in the heads of migrants and doing a little light child sex trafficking on the side. Life has never been better” articles, even though I’m confident there’s at least as many of the latter.
If this guy can’t turn a profit in an unprecedented period of unregulated clear cutting and skyrocketing lumber prices… Idk. Maybe he just didn’t want it enough.
But this fiction of the “Sad Trumper” has got to be tempered by reality. There’s a line around the block of Andrew Tates and Changpeng Zhaos who are loving a fellow scammer nonce in the White House.

Its ICE hires, they just wont put their names on it
They won’t put their names on themselves.
Something something, judge a tree by its fruits, something something.
Also, lumber empire?
… 50 employees?
Weyerhauser would laugh, if they even knew this person existed.
If only someone could have told them this was going to happen.
Someone…someone…anyone…
Oh wait. Would you settle for everyone?
To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural
This man hated nature so much that he made a career out of cutting it down, apparently. He heard birds instead of chainsaws for the first time and freaked out
Oh no! Not the day you voted for! Anything but that!
Hope they end up homeless
Or having to work in the lumber mill when it gets its new owner.
Fucking moron.
Votes Trump even after this.
