If you spent 40 years of your life on this path, you would still be visiting 5.616 bars per day. Nuts.

Less than 6 bars a day is pretty doable! :-p

Isn't comma the decimal separator ;)

It depends on which part of the world you live in.

It's always worth spending 30s verifying something like this by reversing what you're arguing - in this case, 5000 * 365 * 40 is obviously more than 82,000.

It’s not that many bars.

That’s also not considering whether they’re open or existing anymore after so much time has passed.

For those of you that don't know a lot about Swiss mechanical movements, this watch isn't just nuts, it's fuckin nuts.


Right?? This is like mechanical watchmaking turned all the way up to 11, took a left turn into madness, and just kept going



Those are resticides.


I don't care what you call it, if it ends in "ine" its good enough for me.


Strychnine

side note: It kills you by making all your muscles tense so strongly that you can't breath any more. The muscles in your face tense in a way that it gives you whats called a "Strychnine Smile".


>Strychnine Smile

Can also be caused by Tetanus


Or running for political office.


Or getting into a car accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIbotIsLJWw


That's probably the botox. Deadliest known substance.


It's for the same reason you feel dead after eating a pound of sugar, and compounded with extra dehydration. Take it from a former professional alcoholic, drink your water and take your B vitamins.


Privacy is not a concern in space I guess. Absolutely horrific, I love it.


I’m just waiting for Apple to invent the iSpace Station, where privacy is taken seriously and Google writes them a trillion dollar check to be the default service provider.


This reminds me of the [0] iBrain.

I love the "Merry Christmas" part, very seasonally appropriate. The clown stuff was pretty unexpected though.


Careful. We don’t need another iRack situation.

Hmm. Maybe the next version should use AI to deduce the path the whizzing crew member took, by combining the tank fill status with other telemetry data like station orientation, vibration in different components etc.


Certainly less miserable to look at inside than it was 20 years ago. Much better than the brutalist hell that is most of Portland.


Brutalist hell? It’s a vibrant city interlocked with greenery and flanked by Mt Hood


There are few Brutalist buildings around PSU.

Downtown has a lot of bland fifty year old buildings. But I like them more than the complicated new ones. But downtown also still has a lot of old buildings.


To be fair, I've been to Portland maybe 3-4 times including a few weeks ago, and this year was the first time I could actually see any of that because it wasn't raining.


You should come visit during summer. June, July, August, and September are typically very sunny and dry, it's a wonderful time of year to be in Portland.


PDX has ranked at or near the best airport in the country for decades. I imagine you watch a lot of fox news.

The environment certainly cares about whether you watch Fox News or not while polluting the earth flying around in a plane


I flew out of PDX all the time around 20 years ago and it was by far the best US airport I went through back then. I'm not sure what you could mean by brutalist hell in terms of portland. There is a ton of green space throughout the city and little if any brutalist architecture.


Are we thinking of the same city? Maybe you're thinking of the one on the other coast? I'm not familiar with it, but the Portland in Oregon doesn't have much of anything brutalist about it.


You should check out micromouse, it's a robo rat race.


Ask any audio engineer about the letter S. You can walk out of the room, go live your life for a year, come back, and they will still be screaming.


That's what they don't get paid for.
