I'm still too young to understand Zelda 2, and I played it when it came out!

I'm double on the Bubble Bobble! A core memory for me is playing that game with my brother for hours on end!

I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.

Personally, it seems like I can't go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE??????

Oh good. There's someone else who doesn't see the appeal of U2.

And you just don't like Elevator because you missed the expertly hidden, subtle innuendos. 😂

Oooh, THAT one. I knew I recognized the name but had no idea what it was.

Be honest, how many unofficial experiments were there?

You ever just start lasering shit for kicks?

The following aren't necessarily answers to your question, but he also mentioned these, and they are way too funny to not share:

The Hairy Ball theorem

Cox Ring

Tits Alternative

Wiener Measure

The Cox-Zucker machine (although this was in the 70s and it's rumored that Cox did most of the work and chose his partner ONLY for the name. 😂)

My disclaimer: I don't know what any of this means, but it might give you a direction to start your research.

First thing he came up with is Number Theory, and how they've been working on that for centuries, but they never would have imagined that it would be the basis of modern encryption. Multiplying a HUGE prime number with any other numbers is incredibly easy, but factoring the result into those same numbers is near impossible (within reasonable time constraints.)

He said something about knot theory and bacterial proteins, but it was too far above my head to even try to relay how that's relevant.

I work with a guy who is a math whiz and loves to talk. Yesterday while I was invoicing clients, he was telling me how origami is much more effective for solving geometry than a compass and a straight edge.

I'll ask him this question.

Not rusty enough.

I'd give them about 50/50 chances, with a margin of error of plus or minus 50%.

I'd say there's a 50/50 chance you're right!

I wouldn't say I've been "missing" work...

I'd vote for that.

I think a lot of the hate is coming from people who don't understand Roblox. It's just this weird new thing that kids are playing. They said the same kind of things about my Mortal Kombat, D&D, and Magic:tG.

I certainly have my complaints on Roblox, mainly the concept of Robucks and how the community members design games to milk children for their birthday money.

In situations like this, the trick is to not stop.

Instead of being the person who got caught, THEY become the person who kept watching.

I agree completely.

Did Roblox do anything "unreasonably unsafe?"

If they were selling a monthly PedoPass that gave someone access to the names and addresses of underage members, of course we should shut that shit down, but nearly every other online game has chat options. What makes Roblox less safe than those?

Too bad he didn't have a Ticket to Ride.

You gotta do it like Norm, and drag the story out for at least 5 minutes.
