Righteous! Say "Hi" to So-crates for me, dude.

But, there ith no thypoon!

But would you give up your kingdom for it?

Right, there wouldn't be any Youtube videos of cats chasing the little red dot from a laser pointer!~

In this case, wouldn't it be striking "Eul?"

One of the popular Dremel attachments is a thin abrasive disc that can be used to put a new slot in a screw head that has become rusted, stripped, or otherwise impossible to remove.

What's more, they'll have an iGenius® do it!

Yeah, I know. Granted I was only 10 years old in 1993, but I still knew AOL was trouble. (FWIW, I didn't personally get online for another few years.)

The "What?" buried at the bottom of my post was an (unsuccessful) attempt to stave off the whoosh. I suppose I should use the "~" more often :-)

The calendar on my wall, and the timestamp on your post both say it's January.





What?

Better yet, the iPad is heavy enough that your forearms won't get lopsided!

Crap.

Anybody have any spare drawers? Size *mumble mumble*?

It totally will. We just have to perfect that cliff-avoidance algorithm.~

Also, Howdy Ho, Mr. Hanky!

You're quite right. I was using the colloquial meanings for dark/light side. I apologize for any confusion that may have caused. The AC GP seemed to think that daylight didn't move on the moon, which is clearly false.

I agree that the heat engine idea bears further exploration. Your idea of having the piston in one place is interesting also. The ideal Carnot engine requires all the energy exchanges to be "reversible" to achieve maximum efficiency. This usually means very slow movement; much slower than we find practical in our IC and steam engines. Letting the cycle take ~28 days at a single location could get us much closer, assuming we could still harness it effectively.

No. The "dark side" of the moon always faces away from the earth. It doesn't always face away from the sun. It is fully illuminated during the "new moon" phase.

HTH. HAND.

Something like "Nesticle_Love?"
