I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.

Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”

It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.

I can find no evidence that this was designed by Sanyo at all. It’s likely a modern rendering of a fake vintage product.

It is!!

Someone might assert that, “All toupees look fake. I've never seen a good toupee.” This is an example of neglecting the base rate because if I had seen good toupees, I wouldn't know it.

Thanks, I love learning names for these things when they come up!

Have his pants completely consumed him yet?

Maybe that’s too obscure

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

Ha, I did the exact same until your comment.

If I remember correctly (I don’t want to look it up right now), John was physically abusive to one of his wives as well (Cynthia?).

Also, imagine being Julian and seeing your dad go on about being a family man in magazines and doting on his new son… when your dad essentially hates you. You’d see all the pictures in magazines, too. Covers of albums. It’s gross.

John and Yoko were kind of monsters in a lot of ways, I lost a lot of respect for John Lennon when I found out about that stuff.

Damn, this is next-level cool.

I love how the keyboard fits into the cutouts.

I feel like I don’t usually like imaginary tech for whatever reason, but something about this one blows my mind.
