Any MechE rover heads out there know what went into the design of these mechanical interfaces to SHERLOC on Perserverance? It's like a gas strut with two degrees of compliance at both ends. Is this just a combination of thermal expansion, shock, assembly compliance? Why solid thin-fin vs a joint?

I found a grip of negatives of photos I shot as a teenager. It was this weird camera that shot wide on 35mm. The exposures are a bonkers 14x37mm. Lots of knicks in the negatives. The lens wasn't great and there was no shutter speed control. I think this is heading into the Cirque of the Towers.

My review of Caves of Qud, based solely on phrases my partner mutters to themself while playing, is that it's effectively a Pliny the Elder simulator. They just hissed, "I believe honey has something to do with healing, but I don't know what it is" and then starting inspecting a pig
