Maybe they are thinking of how mugs and thermoses can be labeled “vacuum sealed,” and that the marketing implies that the vacuum between the walls insulates the outer wall (where the hand touches) against the heat.
Yikes, I’m sorry that happened! Have you tried using updog yet?
Yes, happens with me too for some posts.
Libraries welcome you to do it! So definitely don’t feel weird there.
Has anyone mentioned the origin of the term, computer bug? It is not a story a Jedi would tell you.
In the days of yore, when the marvels of computation were in their infancy, there arose a curious tale of a most peculiar occurrence. Lo and behold, within the realms of the great Harvard Mark II computer, a glitch did manifest itself. And this glitch, verily, was likened unto a pestilence that did plague the workings of the machine.
Now, the diligent engineers sought to uncover the source of this disturbance, to fathom the cause behind the malfunction. And as they delved deeper into the intricate labyrinth of wires and circuits, their eyes beheld a most astonishing sight—a tiny creature, not of flesh and blood, but of the insect kind.
With great astonishment, they did identify this creature as a moth, a small winged being that had inadvertently made its abode within the sacred confines of the machine. Thus, they spake among themselves, saying, “Behold, a bug hath infiltrated our realm of computation, and caused this mighty disturbance.”
And so, the tale of the computer bug was born, a term coined to describe those minute creatures that wrought havoc upon the intricate mechanisms of these contraptions. Though time hath passed and technology hath advanced, the legacy of this tale remains, reminding us of the humble origins of our digital dominion.
I am still sussing out how I feel about it. It was okay, but it ultimately reminded me more about what I did not like in the first season, and that hurt my enjoyment. Wasn’t a great episode, but it had some good moments.
