It was stormy today; the downpour was intense and unsettling. During the day, Dad taught me about simple machines. They're not as simple as they sound, honestly. I still don’t understand why a movable pulley doubles the effort distance, but as long as I can calculate the output force using the formula, I'm good. Later, my bestie neighbor came back to town and knocked on my door. She brought me a souvenir badge from her favorite anime, she loves animations just as much as I do. I feel like we're going to have a lot of good times ahead.
