To be fair, this is in Oklahoma so we're lucky they're depicting dinosaurs as real at all.

Just kidding. This museum is actually awesome. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly when I visited years ago (I went to college nearby).

If I remember correctly, one of the curators mentioned adding feathers to some of their more permanent exhibits when I was there. Maybe they are still working on expanding that and/or getting everyone on board? I'd love to hear their actual reasoning! I gotta go back and pester them about feathers.

This project is so cool! Congrats Aaed.

Breaking Taps on YouTube did a really awesome video on a somewhat similar mechanism (I'm no mechanical engineer haha, it was new to me!), rolling contact joints. I love the idea of using string/ropes. Worth checking out as well if this kind of stuff interests you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQiLLcumqDw

I love "The Grand Inquisitor" from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. It's not exactly a deal with the devil, but it does have some interesting parallels.

AFAIK, yep. Jeff Geerling (hi jeff!) has a great video about this. https://youtu.be/hrhE6MnGi1A?si=IeHs2GKYqPjqPXSb&t=305

A bit disappointing that you cannot purchase just the new OLED screen and replace it in the LCD model, considering the dimensions are the same.

I wonder what the true limiting factor for this is? I'd love to upgrade, but ~$500 feels like a little too much for the usage I currently get out of my Deck.

You say "us" existing, but I think the more interesting way to phrase it is "anything" existing. Why there is something instead of nothing?
