While lazing my neighbors house the other night (as one does) I noticed my Zenitco Perst-4, when moving rapidly, would appear to have a blinking frequency. A slow enough frequency that I could see it. Hard science then took place as I grabbed a DBal i2 (9003) and tried to duplicate the results. So far only Perst (Russian) lasers seem to do this. None of the American or even Chinese lasers seem to do it. Anyone know why?

An analogue 1970’s Swedish tank simulator
I found this super interesting. In the 70’s the Swedish military developed an almost completely analogue tank simulator to reduce cost of training future tank operators the basics. The funniest part is that the original computer was replaced by a raspberry pi.

In 1991 the Soviet Union produced and aired their take on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Apparently after airing on Leningrad Television this production was “lost” and just recently rediscovered in 2021. Tolkien fans will be happy to see that Tom Bombadil makes an appearance who was left out of the Peter Jackson version. No, this is not a joke and the music and effects are exactly what you think and I think this might have actually contributed to the fall of the USSR later in the year. Enjoy and you are welcome.
