I think we could file this under the mad science (or how we call it around here, regular science).

Tired all the time. Nothing gives me energy. I'm working out with one of my best friends, but said best friend is being a bit distant outside of gym and in gym she's just demotivating because of how we're universes apart in how we experience and utilize the gym, and it's just another bullet point on a very long list of things that make me feel inadequate.

Apartment is starting to get junked up again. Pretty sure it wasn't that long since I cleaned it last...

A pi zero uses a shockingly small amount of juice: .4W

Yes. POINT-4 watts; 80ma of current. (with HDMI off, wifi off, USB off. -- Uses 120mA with wifi and USB turned on. Still vanishingly small.)

One could conceivably pull it off with several rectangular tritium illuminators (red-orange, for ideal photon flavor for the paired collector), and some cheap crystalline photocells.

Be a mini computer that can run continuously for at least 25 years before it reaches power generation halflife.

I could, but could it run an AI?

[wierd]

A pi zero can run surprising amounts of emulation software.  So, probably.

A question I have a lot while thinking about intelligences. What is intelligence?

Something in short supply nowadays

Something in short supply nowadays

Which is something disturbingly on-topic for the sad thread.

Not if you are a zermatist.

(Bonus points if you correctly point out how Bob fits into the above.)

Whoosh!

Perhaps too obscure?

Spoiler: If you are still stumped, this will ruin the joke by explaining it. (click to show/hide)

The Church of the Subgenius is a VEEERY old internet meme-- From before the internet become commercialized even, back when it was only accessible through university subscriptions.  One of the features that made its way into the meme fake religion, was a 180 degree about-face on the assertion made in zermatism by Skukalsky-- Notably, that yeti heritage is what is wrong with human kind, and its degraded intellectual faculties and the like.  Instead, they enshrine yeti heritage, and assert it gives them access to the superpower known as "slack."

They use a very cheery 1950s salesman with a smoking pipe as a mascot, which is given the name "Bob."



All this, because you stated that intelligence will come with the next batch of Yeti.
