Further the containers contain the info, so the position on the users' screen is rather irrelevant.

Women are such fucking creeps at times.

That men are obsessed with sex. Compare guys night vs ladies night. Men talk about cars, sports, computers, games, politics, their kids, work. Women talk about penises, relationships and sex. I'm gender fluid so I've seamlessly blended into both groups my whole life. Doesn't matter if they're straight or lesbian or bi... it's all sex all the time to the point that I can't hang out with female presenting individuals, because I would like to have an actual conversation.

Can you imagine working for this guy?

Dude will have a multiple volume encyclopedia of things in his brain which he assumes you will know, even when he hasn't communicated them to you.

Go with your dreams my friend!

When I started, we made the very first internet-based games and I could tell you stories but I'm not here to pump up my ego.

Yes, games technology web, it's all old hat to everybody now but there was a time when we were the bleeding edge.

If you want to do something that's niche or off the rails or total unique, do it my friend.

Just do what makes you happy.

Also now I'm curious, what is this area that you're interested in?

Keep going, you're just on the cusp of convincing us you're super intelligent.

I love this call. It's such a thought terminating cliche at this point.

 

Could be any kind of performer be it comedian, podcaster, actor, etc.

 

While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there's never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.

What are your favorite unicorn albums?

 

Come on, you know what I'm saying.

 

“Because 3D printing can produce complex geometries, save material, and enable unique designs, we see this printable alloy as something that could also be used in advanced vacuum pumps, high-end automobiles, and cooling devices for data centers,” adds John Hart, the Class of 1922 Professor and head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

Here's the paper published in The Journal of Advanced Materials

 

A neat video from the 1930's demonstrating animation with synthetically-generated music

The synthetic sounds are generated by variophone, an optical synthesizer that used sound waves cut onto rotating cardboard disks.

Pioneering work in graphic sound was underway in 1926

 

This is our work cat, Fancy Pants

 

He was an amusing sales guy that got into the TV advertising game early in the 50's. He found great success from barraging radio and TV with ads, especially late night TV, and half-ass daytime radio ads that were so bad they were good

With a disarming and quirky personality, he wore an inappropriate outfit and tall cowboy hat. He'd refer to the furniture store as the corral, call the viewers partner and always end with his catch-phrase 843 Main Street - C'Mon Down!. None of the cowboy presentation made sense given our city's culture, but perhaps it help him stand out!

His gag was constantly blaming his dopey No. 1 Son for leaving the furniture-making machine on overnight hence the blow-out sale (You'd think after taking so many losses he'd install an timer kill switch on the machine or get his son help, but I digress)

He was clearly not concerned about quality in the radio ads in particular, and you could just tell most were first-take probably to shave every cent off ad costs. He often was too leisurely and charming in the first 15 seconds, then realizing he's running out of time spoke faster and faster to get out the sales points, until he has but a second left to belt out his closing catch phrase, good fun

His philosophy in business was "give the customer more than they expect" which I heard him explain on a local AM radio time-filler interview one random weekend, but that really stuck with me and truly served me well in my life!

Mr Hill passed away many years ago but his memory is still strong here. The original building at 843 Main Street is gone due to arson but few will forget the impact this humble furniture salesman had in our city's culture
