6 Key Instruments of the Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution (1500-1700) was driven by several key inventions, all scientific instruments that became essential to achieving a greater understanding of the world around us. With instruments like the telescope, microscope, thermometer, and pendulum clock, scientists could see what had never before been seen and measure results of experiments much more accurately than had ever been possible before.

The biofilm in my barometer is reaching sentience. I think I'm going to have to throw it out and try again. Try 2 it's going to be bottled water with a better food coloring and a dash of bleach....

A: Putting a lit candle right in front of the thermometer allows you to see it more clearly if not accurately. "Honey, I think this thing is broken, does it feels like it's 348° in here to you?"

Originally an old evo for Castform, this idea was retooled for Bretlan into something that could stand on its own. The idea here is that the regular form has Forecast as a hidden ability, allowing it to change form. The other forms however no longer have Forecast as an ability and thus are unable to change back, locking themselves into their own weather-setting forms permenantly. Thermonitor are highly adaptable pokemon, changing to best suit the environment they live in. Typically seen at high altitudes in their base form; as they descend below the cloudline they become subject to weather and climate. These changes are instigated by the fluids that fill a Thermonitors body and by responding to temperature and humidity, affect the appearance of the water that lines their outer surface. Although they don’t learn many elemental moves naturally, they would have a broad range of TMs and tutor moves that would allow them to build for any weather. They even get a signature move “Shepherds Delight” which i’m pretty pleased with. — Ability Info —  — Attack Info —

I mean respect, for when I criticize the GOP, no one comes after me, but when Taylor Swift does it, she'll get more death threats than she could read all day, and many of them will be serious. Those GOP fascist racist terrorists are clowns playing games with real guns, I like funkier music than Swift's but I also like seeing the leading yankee women music artist giving the middle finger to the GOP from a deep red state, and still repping being a compassionate Christian, since if you read closely, Jesus was a hippie communist who didn't eat pork, the opposite of today's atheist showrunning bougie banksters...

Blackburn is over there implying that Marxism means artists are cut off by the state - wait, what is going in in Florida and Idaho with the books again, which party is trying to use the state to ban those literary artists, Blackburn? Gaslighting is where you create a sock puppet enemy to absorb all the bad vibes that come from your horrible crimes. Then you take everything bad you've done, and blame the sock puppet- that's gaslighting, it's what Blackburn's doing in the clip...typical GOP approach. Attack rights and lie, take authors out of the libraries and gaslight. When GOP call socialism the boogieman, remember the GOP already is socialism, but for whites only. It's their crime against humanity in intentionally not making enough life boats, so as to create a false sense of competition, as machines take our jobs anyway. Socialism for whites only is fascism, it's why the word "nazi" stands for nationalist-socialist, that's what the GOP are now, they are racial marxists, they are neonazis, and allowing them in a place, like a concert, means vulnerable people can't feel safe in those spaces.
