My buddy (now married to a woman) has this on his basement wall for ages. It was the hangout spot for all our friends. So, it’s oddly nostalgic. Although it’s probably only been 2-3 years since he had people over there.

In fairness he had a bunch of great classic heavy metal posters and albums, including a poster of Iron Maiden with Bruce in his undies.

That’s what I’ve always known it as

That’s really cool, thanks. I always wondered what such a contraption would look like. Too bad it didn’t make it to market.

The real sci-fi dream is to have a machine that can take a bin of totally unsorted laundry (everything from socks to bedsheets), then wash, dry, and fold it all into a basket. I don’t know if that could be done without some very human-like arms and better AI than we have today.

I don’t recall, but I’m pretty sure it’s off the Bad Company album.

I’m also a big fan of Iron Maiden, the last track on Iron Maiden, and Motörhead from the Motörhead release. But I forget who wrote those too.

Pretty good track! But maybe not as good as Weed by Weed, from the album Weed.

Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.

How about a machine that can fold your laundry after it’s washed and dried?

I rolled back to a legacy BIOS and reviewed all the POST codes, but I don’t see anything called “sole” on boot 😛

Also FWIW I read it more like “Systems, bitch!” for complaining about disorganized processes, or that writers bitch about various systems, or they write articles about how to make them your bitch. Regardless, sounds like something I’d find on the ground in Cyberpunk 2077.

Systems Bitch actually sounds like a pretty rad mag. Where do I subscribe?

Binders full of them

Yeah I remember that case. That’s Kevin.

Right? It’s especially worth at least a second or even third glance in places that have a historical predilection to metastatic fascism.

I dunno. Samuel L. Jackson is a pretty big star. Scarlett Johansson too.

That’s why I sell exclusive Deprotonated Hydronium™. It costs even more but it’s worth it, and still zero calories. It’s the best way to enjoy tasty ions, for a more balanced lifestyle.

Ok correct, technically I guess the outer 2D surface of a bowling ball is a pair of pants. For the entire 3D object to qualify, the holes would have to be connected internally.

Huh. So mathematically, I guess a bowling ball is a pair of pants.

I guess I have to agree because it supports what I’ve said all along: pie is the best food.

Pie transcends cubic barriers. It cannot be constrained to merely one construct.

There are different levels of understanding.

I’m trained in physical sciences. I studied at university and then worked ~8 years for a research department and at one point learned 2D NMR and how to run molecular simulations on a supercomputer. I’m well aware of the challenges of winning grants against colleagues and getting papers published and surviving peer review and then hoping your work gets noticed outside your weird little niche.

My buddy is a schoolteacher. He can run circles around me with arithmetic and explain the scientific method in rap format. Kids eat it up! But he’s probably never done a gradient integral (not that I remember how either) or contributed to a collegiate press release.

We’re both ostensibly working with the same core principles but the reality ends up quite different. Context matters.
