AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a creative game where participants share their chosen minor super-powers and corresponding superhero names. The rules specify that only one minor super-power can be selected, emphasizing quirky abilities rather than traditional superpowers. Participants share imaginative powers, such as the ability to make others blush on demand, named "THE CASANOVA," and "Partical Man," who can exist in two places simultaneously unless observed. The conversation includes light-hearted banter and references to pop culture, specifically mentioning the movie "Mystery Men" and the origins of the "Partical Man" concept from a comic-book idea. Overall, the thread showcases a playful exchange of creativity and humor centered on unique superpowers.

Okay, I don't know how many of you were here for PF version 2.0, but we had this pretty awesome thread (started by myself) where everyone had to state what their super-power is and what their super-hero name will be.

Here are the official rules of the game:

1. You may choose one and only one super-power. This does not mean two or three or even four super-powers, just one.

2. Your super-power must be a MINOR super-power. For example, you MAY NOT choose super-human strength, but you MAY choose the ability to open any jar of pickles in the universe. You my MAY NOT choose ability to fly; you MAY choose the ability to levitate exactly one foot off the ground without going anywhere.

My super-power will be the ability to make ladies blush with a strange feeling of crushiness on demand.

Henceforth, you will know me as...

THE CASANOVA

I am Partical Man!

I have the power of superposition. I can exist in two very close spaces at the same time, except when somebody is looking at me to see if I'm doing it. Then, my Eigenstate becomes fixed and I can only exist in the space in which they see me.

But trust me, when you're not looking, I can do it.

Hahaha... that's a good one. Reminds me of the African-American kid from the movie the Mystery Men.

Never saw that one. Partical Man was originally a comic-book idea by a friend of mine. He was going to combine ghost;y abitlities like using quantum tunneling to walk through walls, and mind-clouding like The Shadow ("yea I saw him going North, now where was that?" or "He went passed me on Tenth Street, ahh... don't rightly recall which way he was headed, though").
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
