My approximately spherical protobaguettes are expanding at 2.07±0.11 cm/h which to an observer yeast cell in the center looks like 1.035±0.05cm/h representing a redshift of 9.59x10^(-15) … if she could see the surface. One needed calculation is c inside bread dough.

Yes I used calipers to take these data and yes the error is calculated.

One Interesting Thought is that our yeast cosmodoughlogist would notice non-uniform expansion because of the local gravitational field, and lots of other noise due to varying dough density and nutrients, temperature variation, and cerera. Also…

It would be a real trip to discover that your own species’ respiratory and reproductive process is (mainly) RESPONSIBLE for the expansion. \end_of_silliness

If I am serious, that presentation was an insight into the limits of the imagination and creativity of the management of the company. Just because you hit the jackpot doesn’t mean you have the talent to do whatever you think of, or even that those ideas you can think of are good.

It honestly, and this is just me, looked like the normal, slightly-out-of-touch-rich-people-thinking-they-invented-everything routine. There was nothing interesting in what they showed, and most of the ideas were stale already decades ago.

I made a game with a meta-verse interface, and worked on an early cyberpunk game, both in the 90s. Both would not be considered useful interfaces. Second Life is a masterclass in what works and fails in these spaces and none of that learning seemed to be reflected either.

@Max_Blackley

In 8-10 hours this will be Posole, for our last full family meal before we send @Max_Blackley and @monty_decker off to University. I am feeling all of the feelings. I have checked the rules and I’m lowering the whisky threshold to noon or before.
