Trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is weird. The generated magnetic field has to reach the prefrontal cortex by going through the same area as some motor nerves, so there's some involuntary muscle action. Here's one picture of me in the rig between pulses, and one during a pulse.

Someone thought this was clever ad copy. They were wrong.
Friends, if you hear a common word used a lot and don't understand why, try a bit of research instead of plastering your ignorance all over the place as part of an advertising campaign, y'know?
Brilliant. The year is 2017 and there are still knuckle-draggers out there coding as though no computer display ever had a DPI above 96. Fr'ex, Autodesk Fusion 360.
Because my display has a DPI of around 352, Windows 10 is set to 250% UI scaling, meaning I get to choose between blurry everything... or crystal-sharp everything but erratically sized elements. Imagine each of these on a 12.5" screen:

New laptop... but one of my kids wants to be the first to play games on it.
Just for kicks... here's how a Commodore 64 might display a scene from today's bus travel, both at a stop and inside the bus:

No, Windows I'm not going to activate you. I'm going to deactivate you. I'm going to put something on this system that doesn't constantly overwrite working video drivers with broken ones, that doesn't wake my monitors up at night, that doesn't need constant vigilance just to keep from spamming me with ads and unwanted apps.
What's new from the Entoptic Key studio? My design, let me show you it. And you can put it on tee-shirts, mugs, mousepads, hazmat suits, bandanas, hoodies, and the like! Head to http://entoptickey.com/ for all the details and other designs @literorrery and I have conjured up.

Just in case anybody wants a hint at my politics – and this really is only a hint, because this is a really stripped down summary and lacks all nuance — then here you are:

Who's that Pokémon? Oh, wait, it's just my fightstick, covered in construction dust from the next room over. Now that it's clean again, I can commence with the losing horribly in 3S! (That's _Street Fighter III: Third Strike_ for the uninitiated.)
