How long are we talking here? Hundred feet, two hundred, quarter mile, three and a half parsec, or what?

Doesn't matter because apparently that wasn't the problem.

However, playing Kwirk on my old Game Boy Color.

Oh the nostalgia!

The feeling of cold antiseptic cream on the bites on my legs is sublime.

Man, I wish my GBC still worked... Oh, wait, it probably does. Sony and Microsoft make stuff to last to the next generation of tech. Nintendo makes stuff to last to the next generation of people.

It's made of Nintendium, the toughest material since that super carbon stuff.

This is untrue. I have my old NES still.

Nearly as old as me and it STILL works. Perfectly because I've kept it and my old yellowed SNES maintained. Nintendo products last forever.

FOREVER. My original Game boy still works, I should know, it's the only bit of entertainment my sister allows herself at work.

I spent ~10 days in Portland with very little to do for several hours each day. Using a box fan, a fog machine, a dynamometer, and some graphs, I found out that the people advocating leg-shaving for runners weren't entirely insane. I figure you have to try everything at least once, so if the difference between sasquatch legs and shaved legs was great enough, I'd change my stance on the matter. Apparently the resistance incurred by my legs with an inch of hair on them was fully 20% greater than the same leg without hair.

Upsides: I immediately ran a mile and got a personal record by several seconds, and was overall less tired at the end due to decreased energy output for the same motion.

Downsides: AUGH THINGS ARE TOUCHING MY SKIN. Blankets, wind, et cetera. Also I accidentally peeled off a small section of my epidermis, causing a worrying amount of bleeding from my mesoderm. To those of you who regularly shave your not-faces, you are masochists.

Aren't you supporting his statement there?

I'm saying they last forever. Not intergenerational.

FOREVER.

My nes will still work when my daughter is likely taking care of kids of her own.

I think she means that a single generation of people is much shorter than RW assumed.

E: or that.

Hate to break it to you, but the connectors on your NES will die long before you do. The slot you put the games in dies out relatively quick.


Give it a good shake and I'm willing to bet it'll show nothing but a black screen with the red button blinking.


(your SNES and gameboy will last really damn long, however (just not the save games in the carts))

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

When the heat death of the universe is complete, there will still be Super Nintendos floating around. It would be the most depressing thing ever that nothing will ever play them, but there'd be nobody left to be depressed.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Gears can be replaced. Connections can be resoldered. The original electrical components should last many decades beyond that if you just make sure they're stuck together properly. My electronics class has an absolutely ancient food processor that's been kept in working order for well over 60 years now. We use it on occasion for making celebratory smoothies when one of our silly projects succeeds.
