I was super skeptical about purple actually being the category they had in mind, but Sherlock Holmes eliminate impossible yadda yadda

Of course the landlord gets a percentage. They are essentially leasing the space to the company that manages the laundry equipment.

This also already happens, albeit for fewer people. I used to have a job that started at 7pm. My lunchtime was literally from 23:30 to 00:30 the following day.

I admit I did not like that job very much, but it wasn’t anything to do with each work day spanning two dates.

This happens anyway. I literally have meetings every week where it’s Tuesday night for everyone else on the meeting, and Wednesday morning for me.

Never started

I am not sure “mildly infuriating” is accurate in this case.

My fellow lemming, I worked in a shoe store in the US for two years. I can tell you that yes, in fact, every shoe has an associated letter denoting width along with the number denoting length.

However, unless the width is special it may or may not be printed on the box.

Yes but the number doesn’t have to change. Just like in the US, they use letters to denote relative foot wdith vs. the average. No need for multiple numbering schemes.

In Japan everyone knows their shoe size in centimeters. Those stay the same regardless of gender or whatever other crazy unrelated topic to how big something is.

The Lost Room.

Not sure where you can find it, though.

Postscript is also literally just a text based programming language for drawing stuff. You can create loops and recursions and all kinds of crazy transformations with a few lines of code.

I guess maybe we have different requirements, but I built a similar controller using a 68HC05 when I was in college (yes I am that old) and it had plenty of cycles left to burn. This thing is nearly an order of magnitude faster than the microcontroller I used.

EDIT: I will grant you the I/O is pretty limited, but you could also offload some of the work to an external timer/accumulator

The original DOOM ran on a 80386 which was actually slower than or roughly equivalent to this controller. Recommended system specs were for a 486 though which was maybe 2-3x as fast.

A 32bit @24MHz CPU is extremely overpowered for those use cases.

Qi operates in the 87-205 KHz range. A power tool is several orders of magnitude slower.
