just needs a subtle background hum and everything is complete.
~~50hz~~ 120hz is such a soothing tone
it's technically not just a 50hz flat tone, it's quite a complex sound for what should be a sinewave. Soothing nonetheless though.
I'm too lazy to go plot it in a spectrogram or something, maybe someone else will do it lol.
Huh. I didn't really think through what the tone would actually be, I just assumed it was the same as Tokyo's power grid. I put on a sample of the power grid noise from the show, and held my headphones up to my phone's mic to get a peek at the spectrogram:
Buncha spikes at every multiple of 120, fading out around 1560hz
Interesting note, the very faint lone 120hz spike is just the ambient noise of my room, when I'm not holding my headphones up to the mic. New canon fact: SEL takes place in an alternate timeline where Tokyo (if not all of Eastern Japan) got 60hz power

Have it run underground. Safer for all parts.
I'm on vacation in Thailand for the first time right now and it's sooo true here.
Powerlines are cool and they make great framing for art

But also:
Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that's okay and not one milligram more?
I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I actually like the aesthetics of infrastructure and industry.
When I see a steel mill, an oil rig or powerplants like wind parks, hydro- or nuclear power I am reminded of the human ingenuity that went into it. How many people needed to band together to work on something bigger than their tribe. I am reminded of our awe inspiring power to shape our environment completely.
Of course with great power... You know the rest.
I traveled across Southeast Asia drawing powerline tangles and run-down alleyways in a sketchbook. It's definitely a thing.
Even though I hate car centric infrastructure, watching a new highway or bypass spring up out of nothing is an incredible testament to our ability to work together to achieve great things
we have a "wind park" a few miles west of here. i get some of my power from it. slightly less than half of them are inactive at any given time. dunno if its intentional or a rotation scheme. never see any crew trucks around the dead ones
They have to shut off if there's too much power in the grid, it might be that
How's the serenity?
I weirdly don't mind
Power lines blocking sky, Japan: 😍😍😍😍
go look at pictures of the Indian power systems
The argument for japan is because of earthquakes, easier to repair. But for other countries?
Yes
Welcome to Mexico, er have such beautiful cities! Except for the 3623516582 cables everywhere
