Twitter is running rampant with #NSACalledToTellMe tweets
Here are some examples:
#NSACalledToTellMe they need to use my bathroom -- the van's portapotty has exceeded its limit
#NSACalledToTellMe Kudos on eating a salad with no dressing instead of The Blue Bell Rocky Road Icecream in my freezer.
#NSACalledToTellMe they're not the NSA, don't know anything and would I please do the damn dishes.
#nsacalledtotellme that my spare set of car keys fell in between the couch cushions!
#NSACalledToTellMe to press 1 if my wiretapping experience was agreeable. If not, please notify next-of-kin of impending absence.
#NSACalledToTellMe their data center is totally CFC & sodium free.
#NSACalledToTellMe my college is paid for, credit card debt forgiven and my range rover will be in the drive tomorrow... #riiight
#NSACalledToTellMe I have a boring life and none of my communications are worth keeping.
#NSACalledToTellMe To move a little to the right. My shoulder was blocking the webcam.
#NSACalledToTellMe that my turds are a threat to national security, and demanded I relinquish them to the government.
#NSACalledToTellMe Adolf Hitler would have given his left nut for their data mining technology.”
#NSACalledToTellMe Just because Obama is running the country doesn't mean he knew about this!!
#NSACalledToTellMe. Sorry about missing that Boston bombing thing, we were too busy with you and your grandma.
#NSACalledToTellMe They were jamming my prayers b4 they make it to God so just stop praying already.
#NSACalledToTellMe I don't have to worry about backing up important documents, they've got me covered.
LOL ... I promise I will ask you to go there.
Not a problem.
And speaking of which, I need to organize my Offspring before they organize me!
I’ll think of the Fire and Rain.
You can blame Max Shulman for that. And for Dobie as well.
He was called a novelist, playwright and humorist, but I considered him a kindred spirit. A weird kindred spirit, but there you go.
‘Face says to tell you that the lawn service cut the internet cable at her building. She’ll try to get on later, but it might be Monday or Tuesday. Everyone please feel sorry for her, left without Interwebs!
Gee .... Prayers for a quicker recovery.
Morning Bob. I saw where another of your ideas (the tube) is being stolen.
Tubes are old technology. I like to remind people that New York City had a city-wide pneumatic-tube package delivery service over a hundred years ago. The system was allowed to decay, but its capabilities have not been duplicated to this day.
Star Trek's turbo-lift was my primary inspiration. That's a system that moves passengers both vertically and horizontally. But you'll notice they have a very two-dimensional thinking in that design; it only works in synthetic gravity, where every destination has the same gravity orientation.
Our three Habitats rotate about a common axis of rotation, and each has a local gravity orientation 120 degrees off from its neighbor. Ergo, a system that slowly re-orients itself as the passenger travels. Ergo, a tube system with spherical elevator cars.
did see the electromagnetic version was the version being considered in the article. My error ... thought this was your design.
Unnngh!
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to macramé.”
That is actually quite accurate, isn’t it...
okay Bob, I understand and didn’t mean to send you off to obtain exclusive rights via a patent. It was / and is your idea.
Oh, that’s miserable. I hope the ISP gets their guys out there tout de suite to fix the cable and restore the world to our lovely Face.
And no I do not normally speak French, but this is an emergency.
I do not want this to be one of those moments but a do it yourself maybe is called for. Is either color coded or straight wired or combination. Should be fairly easy to restore if not cut and covered and unable to find. Prayers for exposure on all cuts.
Electromagnetic tubes for transport are a new development, but they have been envisioned for acceleration, and for subsequent launch assist devices, for quite some time.
A sensible inter-city tube transport could be developed using magnetic levitation, and assisted gravity, by simply coasting downward to a lover-level tube to accelerate, and then continuing in relatively friction-free motion until the destination city is reached, then rising to a higher level to slow and stop at a station.
If the magnetic levitation is accomplished mainly by super-cooled superconducting coils on the trains, and permanent magnets on the “tracks”, then the system is relatively low-energy, other than the building costs. Notice that the trains could still run, or at least complete their motion, even during a power interruption.
It will be fun Bob!
one problem for those seeking an answer ... unknown is all the star frequencies for capture of power to make the speed required to cause pull and repulsion. Those answers are available but I ain’t gonna tell.
