I'm lost at point one.
How does 6+180 degrees equal 9 , with or without rotation?

I'm lost at point one.
How does 6+180 degrees equal 9 , with or without rotation?

Maybe $6+180^{\circ}\equiv\text{rotate 6 by 180}^{\circ}\,$?

 

[Baluncore]

How does 6+180 degrees equal 9 , with or without rotation?

If you add 180° to the azimuth of a '6', it becomes a '9'.
69 involves a copy, and a 180° rotation, of the 6 or the 9.

That is independent of the clock face, where only a rotation of 90° is needed to switch between 6 and 9.

Maybe $6+180^{\circ}\equiv\text{rotate 6 by 180}^{\circ}\,$?

Right. Duh.

Does anyone still have Frisbees?

 

[Baluncore]

What do you call a "Frisbee"?

I still have some 8" floppies, and many 5" floppies tucked away in dark corners.

There are also 15" HDD platters from 5 Mbyte cartridges, and boxes of ceramic heads that I maintained up until about 2000.

I've posted this before in Random Thoughts, but it belongs here. It's from the Annals of Improbable Research.

Oh, Langley invented the bolometer.
It's really a kind of thermometer,
That can measure the heat
From a polar bear's feet
At a distance of half a kilometer.

I have just seen a tshirt featuring Schrödinger's Opossum. You don't know if it's alive or dead even after opening the box.

Found unattributed on Facebook:

 

[Herman Trivilino]

On a traffic stop the cop asks Professor Shrödinger if it's okay to search his trunk. With permission he proceeds. Afterwards the cop says "Professor, do you realize there's a dead cat in your trunk?"

Shrödinger replies, "Well, there is now".

Us - mere sexagenarians.

Thanks for ruining my day.

Until now, it had never crossed my mind that I've been a sexagenarian for quite a while now.

And don't anyone trot out that old joke about how it sounds like more fun than it is.

Maybe it has crossed my mind that I'm a sexagenarian, but I've forgotten.
