    Not all religious people are like this.

    Granted. Speaking as one. There are, however a number of classes of religious persons and believers in various other 'isms' (in particular certain political 'isms') that this very much applies to.

    Anything that takes over a person's identity has this exact effect. From the extremists in either major political party to football teams, religions (and atheists) and people who wrap their identity around a brand name.. ie - Apple or Android, Ford & Holden, Mac or Windows, Canon vs Nikon etc etc.. humans aren't, by and large, rational across all things.

    Change that sign holder to a anti vaccine study and who is right?

    Ah, but the anti-vax studies are provably false, and so are not facts, but lies. Your argument does not succeed.

This Experiment Failed

(End credits, Excel Saga) Yes, today I have a very sad tale to share in my cyanography experiments. You remember last time, I shared this: Well, I have experimented further with inkjet photo paper, and made some very unpleasant discoveries along the way. The first is the streaking - without using a non-contact application method, I am not going to avoid it. The gel surface is just too fragile. So if I want to persist with this, it will be out with the air-brush. I somehow doubt I am going to find spray-cans of cyanotype sensitiser, after all.  The second is in washing. Because there is no cellulose for the Prussian Blue to bond with, the washing inevitably destroys the image, meaning that you cannot preserve the image long-term. This also means that you end up including the un-exposed chemicals in the scan, which adds considerable grain and loss of contrast - especially in the high-tones of the inverted image.  This second issue is essentially insoluble, which is a pity, as it would h
