A Call For Humor!

Well, I pasted it as found, can't know all the jokes out there

Perhaps not, but if you've been following this thread there is a pattern. Every time I see a post in that style I expect someone to follow it up with the original.

Context matters a lot given the number of other things the 5 pin DIN has been used for. Line level audio, PC keyboard and serial port all spring to mind, but I'm sure there were others.

Yes, and in this case minijack is used for all kinds of control signals, and audio too in the wider context

As a Vietnam vet, I can assure you with absolute certainty that no one hates war and appreciates peace more than soldiers. To suggest otherwise is vile.

I can't really respond to this without it turning political. But looking at news, history books mankind does absolutely not hate war enough
Social media reading makes it clear, and it makes it also clear that attitudes aren't that difficult to change
Obviously there are soldiers who have gone through hell who do not wish for more of it, but there are always younger people to brainwash and even old hatreds to exploit...psychologically there are many tricks to use, all too easily

a good slap could solve some intermittent problem

I tried that but got into trouble with HR. It was worth it though.

I’m guessing RGJ would prefer his work to be copied as is rather than by Al

Those things repulse me. I instantly see the AI style and move on.

In the world of electronic music gear, DIN is synonymous with MIDI.

This belief is so widespread that people think that the Roland GK-13 connector, which uses a weird 13-pin DIN is for MIDI guitar when it absolutely is not, it's an analog interface with one audio signal per guitar string and some control signals.

Endless Buffet!

"Bah!, I decry, for I can see the end a mere 8 strides yonder!

But wait, what is that I see, being placed at the end of the oh-so-near endless buffet? 'Tis a pan of bread pudding! Fresh and steamy, bubbling and aromatic...

Alas I have met my end and henceforth shall slumber the fitful sleep of heartburn and sugar crash, knowing full well I must open the second closet come morn and withdraw the pantaloons of plenty for none other shall fit my newly achieved girth.

First Law of Thermodynamics says that energy and mass can not be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. So all forms of "renewable energy" do not violate the First Law.

Fun fact: all energy used on this planet, with the exception of nuclear and geothermal energy, is ultimately solar. Including fossil fuels, hydro, wind, etc.

Since all the elements originated from supernovae, can you really say they're not solar?

In fact, solar and wind energy are not renewable at all, they are just virtually inexhaustible. Fossil fuels on the other hand are perfectly renewable, just not nearly as quickly as they're used up.

Hydro and wind not entirely. They're partly coming from earth's rotation and gravity via tides.

Tidal hydropower is definitely not coming from the sun, only a smaller part of it. It's mostly lunar power.

It probably will become undistinguishable from the real thing quite soon. Might even get "creative":
