Sex is great but have you ever tried having a captive audience for every awful joke you can think of?

“Number One, how did you find my Scrooge performance?”

“Grouchy, sir. Definitely grouchy.”

“Not… curmudgeonly?”

“Definitely whatever that is. And mean, smelly, and ugly too.”

“…”

Two ways to find out!

It’s been ages, but we’d done rough calculations for the three controls so we roughly knew what we needed. Our teacher was big on manually tuning instead of just using formulas since he thought just running numbers “lacked artfulness.”

So we grabbed a point and started searching around manually. I think we were just tuning the derivative portion at that point, trying to get a fast response without the system without it going chaotic and noisy.

The final project in my instrumentation class was to tune a PID controller for a hot/cold mixing valve. I (CS/ENG) was paired up with an engineering student and a lot of it was throwing parameters in, seeing if weird shit happened, and then turning down or up based on the result. I had a programming final and something else I was supposed to be studying for, so I just started doing a binary search with the knobs. We got the thing tuned relatively fast and my partner acted like I was a wizard.

Gross.

I just got so mad.

Some Risa memes I can actually hear when I read them. This is one of them.

It is time for my brother to admit he does not remember this week’s Trial of Intelligence.

This is glorious.

Yep. Our friends flew one for a 4th of July party and one of the party guests took them aside and explained what it looked like to a casual observer.

“Captain’s Log, supplemental.”

I figured out what’s missing. He needs a shiny H on his forehead.

Larry Ellison from Oracle had a cameo too. It was gross.
