Man, I haven’t heard Waits in a long time.

“It slices, it dices, and it makes Julienne fries!”

And behold the short work it makes of this tin can, then makes the finest slices on this tomato!!! BUT WAIT, there’s more!!!

“I knew, I knew it. The Salad Shooter is back!!
They finally found a use for that warehouse full of them.”

I know a guy that has a bunch of locking medicine cabinets that he was going to sell for a fortune back in the 80’s.

Seriously, he trashed the cabinets but still has the VHS of his TV ad.

Finally, the perfect material for my Turbo Incabulator!

Thanks....sent to MGD. He’s the “metals man” - I’m just a computer geek.

rubidium (radioactive) and crystals are used in cellphone base stations for precision timing

Shimmer , It’s a floor wax AND a desert topping... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kCJqy88B8I

With this new metallurgy we can finally realize the Turbo Encabulator!

He lost me at recipriction dinglearm.

I'm thinking it's something designed by Sirius Cybernetics where their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws.

I think I'll wander over to the Nutri-Matic for a cup of something.

I understand that a switch is a mechanical break between two conductors, not a property of the material the switch is made of.

“I understand that a switch is a mechanical break between two conductors, not a property of the material the switch is made of.”

Did you get to vacuum tubes and transistors?

Or are you just being obstinate?

[Fireone]

No need to get snarky. I’m not a physicist, chemist, nor electrician. Just trying to make common sense of this new material.

“No need to get snarky. I’m not a physicist, chemist, nor electrician. Just trying to make common sense of this new material.”

I gave you three examples of ON!!!!!!!!!! OFF!!!!!!!!!

OFF =========== INSULATOR ======== NO CURRENT FLOW

ON ============ CONDUCTOR ======== CURRENT FLOW

It is really very simple. The complicated part is understanding how the electrons are made to flow inside the molecular structure but no need to understand that anymore than you need to know how electrons move through the molecular structure of a copper wire.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet!

Superconductivity ping. Check out the Jahn–Teller keywords, they're new. :')
