Mind blown thread.
No worries. The first thing the super-smart AI invents will be a digital bong shed, and it will be smooth sailing from that moment on.
Still at "lunch"...???!!!???
so that's what The Matrix was all about?!?!?!?!
Welcome to my life last Wednesday. The nice thing for me, as it were, is that my reading room is already in the basement.
This morning I spent revising a paper and resubmitting it. Cutting down from ~470 words to 250 for an abstract word count restriction is tough. This afternoon I spent an hour writing a script to automate a tedious task of data gathering (and writing to file) in MATLAB. There were no 5 beer lunches in between.
When I was gathering 8 data points at a time it was manageable by hand. When those 8 become multiplied by 3 possible orientations, 13 possible cardiac outputs, 2 possible field strengths, 3 possible injection volumes, and 7 possible injection rate ranges then that task quickly becomes far too much to do by hand without going insane.
Morning, finally a day off. Just worked a 60 hour weekend. Physical therapy in a couple hours, gym later tonight, maybe take the kiddo out for a hike
Couldn't drive it, but the hood part comes Friday. The previous owner painted the hood vent and bulge atomic green, it was bad.
Procharger, nice. They also just got a '15 Z06 with Z07 package. It has 2200ish miles on it. Factory supercharged it a whole other animal.

What the hell are you doing? Are you buying a new car or what? NO MORE TEASING!Couldn't drive it, but the hood part comes Friday. The previous owner painted the hood vent and bulge atomic green, it was bad.

No, just taking my aggression out on cars that aren't mine.
They had a Cayman S a few weeks back that I inquired about because I had never sat in one and it was a manual. They sold it before I could look at it and they have been sending me emails about interesting arrivals ever since. They had 2 GT-R's I wanted to look at, but they also had an Atomic Orange '07 C6, the '15 Z06, and the '14 Stingray with a Procharger, so it was totally worth a look.
I didn't drive anything, I had to get home for my phone interview.
Stupid effing hot today, at least its cooled down to a manageable 105* at 7pm ( hit 112*) everytime I got out of the short bus it felt Like I was stepping into an oven. The Buses AC was at its limit with 7 of us on board, not cool but not sweltering, high 70s
My uncle had one for a while. Circa '08 MY IIRC. I got to drive it once or twice, and really liked it. Not scary fast by any means, but more than quick enough to get out of its own way, and just an excellent, tight handling sports car. Great interior- nothing super fancy, but well laid out and put together. Good ergonomics, good visibility, etc. The ride was on the firm side for a daily driver (which is why he ended up getting rid of it) but not way out there, and as a sports car/toy it seemed like a great compromise.
Meh, for a mid engined car it's pretty good. And really? My uncle's like 6'6" and not skinny, and he fit fine.
I dated a guy with an orange Gremlin once... It was hot. He was not.
