I just saw a sales listing for a "vape" holder that clips on the top of an xbox controller, but I've lost it and can't find it again.  I don't know why they bother with that euphemism, it's going to get used for soldering irons.

Meanwhile I found this in the description of a tracker device:


And ... err ... these things that you can "pair" with maybe?

If that was an animated GIF then we can't see it, the forum is auto-recompressing all attached images in a way that trashes animated gifs.

This is my animated GIF image attached in forum's attachment feature and repost below.

I always loved that animated gif! Let me save it.

Not really EE, but cute enough to share.

Yeah, because 10! (10 factorial) is 3,628,800 which is the number of seconds in 6 weeks.

86400 x 7 x 6 = 3,628,800.

Not that surprising that 10! works out to be seconds in 6 weeks.

10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

Lots of shared terms:

60 = 5 * 4 * 3 * 1
3600 = 10 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3
24 = 4 * 3 * 2

The Mayans used 60 seconds for a good reason - easily divisible.

Another interesting coincidence I like is e^pi - pi = ~20, to 3 dp.

Or, 60×60×24×7×6 = 3628800 = 2⁸ 3⁴ 5² 7¹ – binary powers of the first four primes.

When you start noticing these kinds of details, you start appreciating how useful 12 hour clock (=2²3¹) and 60-second minutes and 60-minute hours (60=5×12=2²3¹5¹) really are.

But do beware: this rabbit hole leads to N. J. A. Sloane's On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, aka OEIS.

Wow.

That would have been perfect if instead of Arnie at the end had Johnny Five saying "Input.."

Also, tangentially topical here, or, say, if you want to express your dis/approval of a thread or something.
