Who Are the Regulars at Infinity Bar?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion at Infinity Bar features a lively exchange among various characters, each contributing to a humorous and chaotic atmosphere. A linguist debates the nuances of prosody, while a minimalist struggles to interject. A kinesiologist boasts about their workout, and a name-dropper shares anecdotes about Elon Musk, attempting to impress others. A business person discusses marketing strategies, and a crank insists on the universality of their theories, dismissing titles and advocating for equality among the group. The arrival of Doctor Dee, a mysterious figure, shifts the mood, prompting reflections on language and identity. The bartender's playful inquiry about the doctor's drink adds to the whimsical tone, but the thread ultimately concludes with a lack of engagement, suggesting a disconnect among participants.

All those joke bars to walk into. Ever consider the people already inside?

Let's hang out at Infinity Bar. Yes, located between the Adiabatic AC Repair shop and Moe's Many Manifolds ("Put an edge to your Universe!"). Slide into Infinity Bar and join the fun:
---------------->

linguist: ".. prosody only measures intervals my rear-end! I wrote my thesis on prosody! Pah-prosody represents inverse..."

visiting_linguist: "Uh-huh. Uh-huh..."

minimalist: "Well,. I.."

kinesiothologist: "Work out! You call that a workout! Feel this!". "Hey, check-out the cute linguist!"

name-dropper: " like I said at Oracle, 'Elon! (I always call him Elon. Lonnie is too familiar! Don't want him getting ideas! Tee-hee!). 'Elon, what did I say about the Rockets, Elon? What did I say?'."

minimalist: "Well, .I.."

business_person: "...of course we can leverage your iso-byte theory. We'll market it as IbT. Get it? Eye-be-Tea...". "Woah, look what just walked into the bar..."

Later at the bar...
---------------------->

business_person: "Did you get a load of that horse?"

visiting_linguist: "I thought the duck was cute!"

minimalist: "..I.."

kineistologist: What's a 'troche'? If I knew what that was I'd have completed my degree!"

name_dropper: " "Dahling', I said, 'See a therapist!', I said". " 'Anybody who hangs out on the Internet all night need serious help right away!', I said".

math_student: "No, stretch the integral sign, use "u" for the function and "k" for the constant and it spells..."

topologist: " it's not knot naught..."

minimalist: "Do..."

crank: "Please, no titles. We all equals here. Of course, I applied Louisville's Theories to my theories. And Greene's and Red's. Krank's Evaporative Theory contains every all theories! Like in a compass! All theories! Universal (except for the edges)!".

admin: "No, we don't change the username spelling. Ban remains! You cannot explain adiabatic processes to high-school students by describing...".

crank: "Relax! We all relatives. We agree to disagree! KET! KET! Everything's adiabatic!"

linguist: "..no, hold your tounge up and b-r-e-a-t-h-e through your nose...".

minimalist: "Wow, I..."

admin: "Look what just walked into the bar...!"

A curious quiet flows over the Infinity Bar.

Cold and viscous lumbering golems converge, text pounded deep
in the sunken cavity of their clay. Following a path of slime
extruded by the dark form of Doctor Dee

"The binary hunchback exudes symmetry" murmurs Dee.
 
at the bar...---------------------->

Linguist: ".say Dee 'speaks all languages!' "

minimalist: "..No."

kineistologist: "...small bone structure but as quick as the proverbial...

name_dropper: " 'Dee!' I tell you 'Dee!' Mark you! Remember that name! Dee! Doctor Dee! ".

minimalist: "D..."

DEE
: "Please, no titles. All equals here. Are we not? All here in interest of Amity!

bartender: "What'll it be Doc? The usual? Or the ideal!?"

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...
