Tweaker

DENT: <pic attached>
Btw, the article you sent before help me develop our way of sanitizing the n95 masks in our office. I fashioned an insulated cooler with a sous vide device to heat the masks to 65C. I call it the Maskerbaker. 😆. 

The Actore: Nice!!! 

b1-67er: Most common elastic materials are ok up to at least 180F, so probably ok.  A lot better than than UV light which kills bacteria, viruses, and plastics with equal ease.  Pretty neat and practical.

TA: <stuff elided>...my oven goes only down to 17O F. I wonder if I keep it there for a half an hour if the plastic and rubber will be OK?

67: The valves look vacuum formed, which is usually done around 400 degrees.  If you can get 170 the mask has a decent chance of surviving I think. 

The 68th configuration

Special K: I'm rewatching this, have you seen it?

b1-66er: I have not. 
Rated 4.6 by critics, 7.0 by IMDbers!

K: It's unique, very eccentric. I like it. Directed by W. P. Blatty (writer of The Exorcist), his first time directing.

b1: Whoa. 

K: He was test screening it in Denver in 1980, showed it to Barbara's film class at DU, they gave him feedback.

b1: AND THAT'S WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE!

K: That was 4 years earlier.

b1: AND THAT'S WHEN YOU ASKED HER TO LOAN YOU 20 BUCKS!

K: Yes!
(She said no.)

b1: You thought: I'll get it one way or the other.
You said: Will you marry me?

K: It's like you know the history.

"One World Together at Home" Tomorrow

Special K: Big big concert tomorrow. "The Live Aid of Cv". https://youtu.be/02yZJDuh8tY

Who shook that damn thing?

The dear hunter <Detroit,  MI>:
Snow globe weather.

Quien es numero one?

b1-67er: I'm watching a Frito Lay commercial talking about creating 3000 new jobs. Then they show two guys standing one foot apart in a warehouse. You can see their breath because it's cold. Not the best coronavirus image.

b1-66er: You got that right. 
They should've just have had the Frito Bandito say, "¡Fuck that fieldwork, señor! ¡Eet's time to shelter in place! ¡A la Casa de Fritos!"

67: ¿Como te gusta el pared ahora?

66: ¡Muy bueno!

Priceless Leia meets a Blues Brother and a jerk

Special K: I haven't watched this but plan to. It's only 20 minutes.
<50 minutes passes>
I just watched that Blade Runner video and it's brilliant. Feels a little like The Clock.

<13 hours pass>

b1-66er: Just watched the blade runner mash up. Interesting. Thanks for sending it. 

K: Did it remind you of The Clock at all?

b1: Not really. Too overall thematic. 
I see why you say that, though.

K: Specifically, the scenes where characters from one movie hear things from another.

b1: I have certain expectations from experimental film. 
Yours either doesn't meet them at all, or overwhelms them.
In either case, it doesn't qualify. 
He's interplaying characters. 
It's both the genius of the clip ...
... and the cheat. 

K: I'd guess so.
