JoeP, I feel this is something you would do in your office.

One of our PMs is always doing weird stuff like this. This week, for example, someone brought in a fancy tea sampler. So he's been replacing what has been used with Lipton tea bags and placing them back in the little decorative tins.

 

^ Ha, that's fantastic.

Reminds of a small art gallery a few years ago. I think it was in Asheville, but have been Greenville. Some 'ville.

Anyway, they were hosting an exhibition of found-material sculptures and such from various artists. There was a ladder way over in the corner. I really wanted to go back the next day with a printed sign (like the one above) that said something like "Ascention. Mixed media (fiberglass and aluminum on concrete). Artist unknown."

The tea thing is just wrong. I'm not a tea snob, but at least the box which says Twinings Earl Grey actually contains said tea:

 

It's even better because my boss is a tea snob. As I glance over at his desk, he has three different tins of Asian tea. Stuff like this

Following up on z31maniac's post, this the best I've done so far at WGN:



That, plus the fact that every single room I've built here has a tiny little rubber duck hidden in it. In Studios 1-3, the duck is actually visible on wide-shots, albeit so small you'd never see it if you didn't know it was there. Thus far, the news department has not noticed them.

Ditto the studio cameras. In fact, on the cameras, the duck is the forward-facing indicator on the pedestal, with a little p-touch label that says "DUCK FACES TALENT."

I'll try to get a photo of one tomorrow.


In case you were wondering, tiny rubber ducks are surprisingly inexpensive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Rubber...item4b5da645fa

How to trigger a millennial engineer:






Another version I came up with, which I think would make a good T-shirt:

 

/\ almost positive ive already seen that as a sticker or poster or something, let me see if i can find it.

 

The basic idea, or that exact art? Cuz I just drew those today.

 

 

Very similar if not the same, Joe. Although all I can find are reddit posts now.

Funny how people often go for a BJT instead of a FET or something.

 

Suck minds think alike.


I originally was going to do one with just all the different types of three-element semiconductors. I opted for a BJT, because it has the word "trans" in its name. Then I edited the original photo, to just "Trans" under the PNP.

After that, I got the idea for the "there are only two polarities" version.

 

Despite the fact that my TV station is the syndication hub for two MLB teams (Cubs and White Sox), I actually don't know much about baseball. So this observation falls into the category of "really old news, which is new to me."

While falling deep into a Wikipedia rabbit-hole, I recently became aware of the fact that the Tampa Bay Rays' official (new) mascot is a cat. Specifically, DJ Kitty.

Yes, a professional baseball team took an internet meme and turned it into a mascot.





The mascot for the Chicago Cubs is a bear cub. The mascot for the Florida Marlins is a marlin. The mascot for the Pittsburgh Pirates is a parrot. The mascot for the St. Louis Cardinals is a cardinal. The mascot for the Toronto Blue Jays is, well, I'm sure you can guess. (Hint: it's a type of bird.)

The mascot for the Tampa Bay Rays is... a cat?

For those who don't live on the gulf coast, a ray is a type of fish. So, obviously, their mascot is a predator that likes to eat fish.

How the hell does that make any sense?
