This Soviet-Style Clock Uses Homemade Nixie Tubes and Glowing Logic
The Neon glow of a Nixie tube makes for an attractive clock, but that’s not enough neon for some people. [Changliang Li] is apparently one of those people, because he’s using soviet-era cold-cathode tubes as the logic for his “Soviet-Era Style Clock”
Aside from the nixies for display, the key component you see working in this beautiful machine are the MTX-90 cold cathode thyratrons, which look rather like neon tubes in action. That’s because they essentially are, just with an extra trigger electrode (that this circuit doesn’t use). The neon tubes are combined into a loop counter, which translates the 50 Hz mains circuit in to seconds, minutes, and hours. The circuit is not original to this project, and indeed was once common to electronics books. The version used in this project is credited to [PA3FWM].
The Nixie tubes are new-made by [Sadudu] of iNixie labs, and we get a fascinating look in how they are made. (Tubemaking starts at around 1:37 in the video below.) It looks like a fiber laser is used to cut out glow elements for the tube, which is then encapsulated on a device which appears to be based around a lathe.
The cold-cathode tubes used as logic rely on ambient light or background radiation to start reliably, since the trigger electrode is left floating. In order to ensure reliable switching from the thyratrons, [Changliang Li] includes a surplus smoke detector source to ensure sufficient ionization. (The video seems to imply the MTX-90 was seeded with radioisotopes that have since decayed, but we could find no evidence for this claim. Comment if you know more.)
The end result is attractive and rather hypnotic. (Jump to 3:37 to see the clock in action.) If you want to know more about this sort of use for neon lamps (and the Soviet MTX-90) we featured a deeper dive a while back.
Thanks to [Changliang Li] for the incandescent tip. If one of your bright ideas has had a glow up into a project, don’t hesitate to share it on our tips line.

«Trump aveva steso il tappeto rosso per Putin il 15 agosto in Alaska. Gli aveva prospettato trattati economici bilaterali molto convenienti. Ma in verità è stato un completo disastro: ha convinto Putin che gli conviene continuare la sua offensiva militare e ha rafforzato la sua certezza che può vincere sul campo».

The image depicts a large, futuristic spacecraft hovering above a vast, icy landscape. The spacecraft has a distinctive triangular shape with a reddish-orange hue, featuring a prominent pointed top and a rounded section at the bottom. It is set against a backdrop of a large, pale moon and a sky transitioning from blue to orange, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The icy terrain below is dotted with a few silhouetted figures, emphasizing the scale of the spacecraft. In the distance, a cityscape with numerous spires is visible, adding to the futuristic atmosphere. Birds are seen flying in the sky, adding a sense of life to the scene.

Ich beginne dann mal mit den wichtigsten Aufräumarbeiten hier...
Währenddessen erzähle ich Euch noch eine Geschichte - die basiert lose auf imaginären Begebenheiten.
Es war einmal ein Jüngling, nennen wir ihn Duderich Erichsen.
Duderich hat viel Ehrgefühl und sieht es nicht gerne, wenn man ihm Dinge an den Kopf schmeißt, die zwar mutmaßlich wahr sind, er sich aber in seiner Ehre verletzt fühlt.
Duderich zeigt sich gerne als wirkungsvolle linke und antifaschistische Persönlichkeit. Er schreibt viel und gerne zu diesem Themen.
Nun begab es sich aber, dass Duderich eines Tages verbal von einer ebenfalls antifaschistischen Person verbal herausgefordert wurde, aber er wusste sich nicht mehr zu helfen und schrieb der königlichen Leibgarde eine Botschaft - oder es war einer seiner Jünger*innen. Das kann niemand mehr so genau wissen.
Man solle der aufmüpfigen Person zeigen wo der Hammer hängt.
Und die Leibgarde des Königs sah, dass es endlich wieder auf eine Antifa, so nannten sich diese aufmüpfigen Personen, einprügeln konnte.
So machen sie sich auf dem Weg zum besetzten Haus der Stadt, traten die Türe ein und verängstigten den Besitzer so sehr, dass er sich gezwungen sah, nachdem er mit vorgehaltener Waffe die Informationen zu dem gesuchten Schwerverbrecher frei geben musste- so hieß es - das Haus abzufackeln.
Was lernen wir daraus?
Keine Ahnung, aber ich kann den Duderich nach dieser Geschichte auch echt nicht mehr leiden.

As I wrote earlier, both the (soviet-)russians and the CCP's revolutionary "PLA" were *belligerents* during WWI.
Stalin was invading any country in the West and South that it possibly could (and later invaded Japan too after its surrender despite 'neutrality pact!), and the CCP were *not fighting the Japanese* but trying to weaken the Republic of China (Kuomintang/KMT) who *were* Allies and actually fighting the Imperial Japan.
For these *currently military-expansionist* despots, putin and xi, to be spouting about just WWII causes and claiming manufactured 'honour' is beyond 🤯🤯🤯.

Dear Americans,
The tipping point into total fascism was the appointment of corrupt fascist Supreme Court "justices" who enabled the insurrectionist to establish a dictatorship by granting him full immunity. That was the turning point, along with the fact that a convicted felon insurrectionist can run for president.
Given the deliberately inept way the US stages its elections, welcomes gerrymandering and tolerates the electoral college, American democracy was always a contradiction in terms. But when armed, masked gangs start abducting people off the streets, what else can you call it but American fascism?
Now after eight months, 77 million people's massive campaign of ethnic cleansing against the remaining 270 million, republican nazis have made it quite clear that democracy plays no role in this regime.

The video features a sequence of frames focusing on a person typing on a laptop, with a pink overlay text box providing a series of questions and statements related to research on the Extreme/Right Radical Right. The text overlays include phrases such as "The Extreme/Radical Right network of co-citations: evidence for 2 incompatible schools of thought?" and "Is research on the Extreme Right/Radical Right compatible?" The video suggests a method to answer these questions by analyzing co-citations across the Extreme/Radical boundary, emphasizing the need for data to turn citations into data. The final frame transitions to a different setting, showing a person in a library reading a book, with the text "To turn citations into data" displayed. The video maintains a consistent theme of academic research and data analysis throughout.

Never mind disco classics, Lou Rawls, You'll Never Find... is just a stone cold classic full stop! Perhaps a little down tempo for full-on disco, its still a great dance record (and honorary disco classic).
