No.  The last part of the exercise is arguing about why the test was wrong

Because the first committee designing a hypothetical situation would know better than any other person looking at said problem at a later time.
And as a test of competence, this is designed not to prove how innovative you are, but how much you think like previous generations of NASA administrators.  Clearly a far more useful skill set in a bureaucratic setting

Is not the house itself simply a very large box in which a cat might sits?

Having dealt with too many "Service" personnel from various cable systems, I do not want to deal with their managers

What kind of clothes do counter tops wear?
How often do counter tops need to wash their clothes?
And why can't counter tops do their laundry in the same machines humans use?

Well I was more loopy than normal.

Well, that's gonna take some of the bang out of this thread
 . . . . . 
If someone has hurt or violated the rights of another person, then the powers that be are justified in punishing the first person.  At least they would want to keep tabs on that person and limit their rights
But what if that person has the ability to hurt or violate the rights of another, but has not yet done so?  What if that person does not yet have that ability but could develop that ability? 

Again?
What was the first time?

Ever notice that comparisons to British cuisine are never used for good news?

I, on the other hand, come from a long line of Naugahyde herders

It's kind of like a huge can of Tuna that's carried on the backs of a bunch of caterpillars and is always fighting with other cans of Tuna

Is this the part where they tell me I'm not a real Godzilla fan because my mouth moves in sequence with what I say?

Silly Kitty
If The Human makes the Comfy Chair usable first, it will take longer for him to get the other stuff done

If you go to a theatre to see a play, the cast is performing for the audience
But if go to a studio to see the production of a television show, or to a stadium to see a televised sporting event, the producers often expect the audience to act like living set pieces

If Three's Company ever is brought back to television, they need to hire Dan as a writer
No one else today is any better at stretching out a story based on awkward secrets

While no where near as bad as The Prof's issues (which I hope he gets over as soon as possible) in about 6 hours I start my colonoscopy prep.  Good taste prohibits me from posting the details of that openly, so only open "spoiler" text from me today if you really want to read about poop

 

Hospital Update Monday 7/12/2021:
I spoke to my podiatrist's partner doctor this evening (my podiatrist himself is on vacation), and he described my toe as "very angry." To make a long story short, he's going to run a white blood cell scan on me. He said that's where they take some of my white blood cells, "tag" them (I'm guessing radioactively), and then inject them back into me and trace where they go. If they concentrate around my toe, then there's a strong possibility that I might have a bone infection, which would mean they'd have to remove the screw they implanted to fix my hammertoe and try to get the thing to heal naturally. On the other hand, if the white blood cells *don't* concentrate around my toe, then it would mean I just have something called "cellulitis," or a soft tissue infection, which they'd treat just as they're treating it now.
In either case, they're going to have to scan me with some sort of equipment to see where the tagged white blood cells go. That'll have to be done over the course of a couple of days, so that means I'm not leaving the hospital any time soon.
In other news, somewhat related to the above, I'm going to have something called a PICC line inserted into my left arm tomorrow morning. That's a larger version of an IV line that stays in your arm for a longer period of time and allows the doctors/nurses/techs to draw blood as well as give fluids and medicines from the same site. It hurts like hell going in, but in general it's slightly more comfortable than an IV once it's inserted, plus there's the added benefit that you don't have to get poked every time someone wants to draw blood from you. It's more or less worth it, especially over a long period of time.
Speaking of blood, there is one other issue that the doctors are checking into. As it turns out, I'm anemic. I've also got an iron deficiency. We don't know why I'm anemic, but it sure explains why I've been so tired lately (aside from the infection). My wife has been cleared to bring up my multivitamin-plus-iron supplement from home so I can take it while I'm hospitalized, but that alone isn't going to fix the anemia or the deficiency. The podiatrist partner, who is taking point on my treatment now, says he may call in another doctor to take care of this problem. We shall see.
Sorry for the long update, but it's been a very busy couple of days. I'll have more info for you as I get it. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who bought a copy of my "Ant Farm Melee" song since yesterday. I really do appreciate it!
