The Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery has a Psycho excerpt.
Aug. 17th, 2025 12:08 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyThe Canon's one of those curated by Russ Kick - it's two volumes.
The Psycho excerpt's from the second one - it's not from Alfred Hitchcock's movie, but Robert Bloch's original novel. The woman who shows up at Norman Bates' motel is Mary Crane, and the physical part of Norman's deceptive mildness doesn't come from looking like a 28-year old Anthony Perkins.
The excerpt starts where the book does - Norman reading.
( His book's anthropological. )

Tesla valves
Aug. 17th, 2025 11:07 amkengrI came across a reference to a Tesla valve today. Far from the first time. But this time it clicked with a old memory.
Back in the late 60s, my mom bought a tabletop fountain. I got curious and took it apart to look at the pump (I put everything back together just fine). It was rather odd. a donut shaped magnet with some wire coils and a copper tube thru it.
The only moving part was a steel tube that fitted inside the pipe and had oddly shaped plastic pieces on its ends. When AC power was applied, the tube moved up and down in the pipe at 60 Hz.
At the time, I couldn't figured out how it pumped the water. Now, I realized that the tube was a Tesla valve. Ingenious design as there was nothing to break during any reasonable service life.
