Slim's dead. I miss the adverts for his albums...

His Indian Love Call defeated the martians. He's a hero.

It's friday, and today sucks, so here's some muppets.

Why can't computer repair kits be brought up to the 21st century. I am shopping around for some tool kits for work. And every kit over $20 has a damned soldering iron and chip pullers in it... I don't think any one past 1985 has used those things on a basic PC repair...

 

[fade]

I've used a soldering iron to repair a computer but I agree on chip pullers. It's pretty common to have the power jack on an overworked laptop come unsoldered.

 

[GasBandit]

I guarantee you somebody will bitch if they stop including IC extractors. I actually did have to use one once about 4 years ago, amazingly enough. Had to pull a CMOS chip.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Anybody have a recommended kit? I want something to slip into a laptop bag.

 

[Shakey]

What are you looking for in one? Here's one.

It might have stuff you don't want, but you can just toss the stuff you don't want.

 

[sixpackshaker]

That's on the right track. I just wished Craftsman or Husky made these sets. MAN, it is hard to find one of those zipper cases with out tools in it.

Even those zipper cases are pretty crappy. You could always try one of those roll up tool holders and put what you need in them. They might not fit everything perfect, but it might be better than those cheap ones. Maybe something like this. You could toss screws and stuff in a pill bottle and put in there too.

I just realized that if you change "eat them" to "do it" in Green Eggs and Ham, it becomes a really weird story about accepting beastiality and exhibitionism into your life.

"Would you, could you, in a car? Eat them! Eat them! Here they are!"

You know, I wish people wore hats more. Like they used to. Used to be everybody wore hats. Now hardly anybody wears hats, and those who do wear them like douchebags.

 

[PatrThom]

Gas, we can't even get everyone to wear socks and underwear. And you want hats?

--Patrick

 

[DarkAudit]

MY hats!

I need some spares. I've got one summer and one winter. Not enough.

 

[Cheesy1]

SKIN CANCER!

 

[Shakey]

Shit. I'm not even wearing pants right now. No way I'm putting on a hat.

 

[Shakey]

Awe, got my first negative rating from that.

 

[Cheesy1]

And another cherry broken by stienman.
(By the way, I'd get checked out. You're probably pregnant now. It's stienman after all.)

The southern part of Alberta is pretty much entirely underwater at this point. They're a modern day Atlantis.

It's supposed to have been raining all week here and we barely got more than a spritz here and there.

Wife is out of town--time for crappy horror movie night. Gonna watch Hansel & Gretel and C.H.U.D.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Emrys hey look what I found!

Thank you kindly

 

[Emrys]

<gasp!> Where did those come from?!

Just re-watched -They Live-. Such a great movie.

Each weasel can carry a 250g load 430 kilometers, and can travel 550km without a load. Each weasel weighs 250g.

Emrys needs to deliver 1,250g of candy 2,301km. How many weasels will be required to deliver the candy? Assuming the weasels only travel under cover of darkness, partially due to secrecy, but mostly to avoid heat damaging the goods, they are traveling around the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, and can only travel 8kmh, how long will the journey take?

What happens at the 430 and 550km marks? Do the weasels need to rest? Do they die? Can the laden weasels transfer their loads to unladen weasels, and then, as now-unladen weasels (and therefore able to travel further), catch up after a rest, and switch again with the newly-laden weasels? Why do all weasels travel at 8kmh regardless of load?[DOUBLEPOST=1371953161][/DOUBLEPOST]I mean, if each weasel is restricted to a maximum laden travel of 430km and unladen travel to 550km, then the furthest my candy will make it is 430km + however far the newly laden weasels can go, assuming some unladen weasels travelled with their laden fellows. They won't make the full 550km, but I am stumbling on the mathematics of the situation to figure out how far they could go.

Mind you, I suppose some unladen weasels could travel with these now-laden weasels, eventually maybe dragging my candy to the 550km mark, but assuming all weasels have the same point of origin, my candy will never get any further than 550km.[DOUBLEPOST=1371953291][/DOUBLEPOST]

<gasp!> Where did those come from?!

I don't know, I'm still working on stienman's word problem to see if it's possible they came from weasels.

 

[Emrys]

My weasels can teleport.

 

[Chad Sexington]

My weasels can teleport.

<scribbles all over calculations>
stienman
Assuming one second for teleportation, it would take five weasels one second to deliver the candy. Or one weasel 3 seconds, or various other combinations therein.

And if they eat any of the M&Ms, they will get there twice as fast.

Like certain video game vehicles do when they run out of fuel, they explode.

 

[Chad Sexington]

It would actually take 1 weasel 9 seconds assuming 1 second for transportation. I somehow thought it was two trips, not five.[DOUBLEPOST=1371956186][/DOUBLEPOST]

No fucking shit. I already know that, I already got her present. I'm a good husband. Unlike you, Facebook.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only wop bomma loo bop. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of a wop bam boo.
