Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?

Micromegas! Love that. Surely a riff on something more ancient. The monads of Leibniz? The dead atoms of Lucretius? 

Ok, that's enough of that. Back to the main discussion...about...the RETURN key. [Anyone up for a debate on the Oxford comma, instead?]

carpathian, well, no....Not to any great desire or driven nature....

Bad enough when spouse does facial clay...interesting gray~green color, tho'....

Done bow to keel, I'd look like an undernourished Groot with a bark mold.

Pry all you want, but hand me the crowbar after....;)

Interesting tidbit, when you finish a sentence with three periods instead of the standard single period, that triple period is known as an ellipsis...

..also referenced as a 'suspension point', an inference that there's a previous line of thought....
Typically 'derailed' (sometimes deranged, depending of POV....) or drifted on from....

I've stood accused of many things; OCD, ADHD, DWI, DWJust Fine, Thx, others...

I'll abstain from '... - - - ...', but Morsely it draws attention not required. :)

Next?

Very interesting. I'd never heard of a roton. It'll be interesting to see what can be done with these through engineering.  When I was in high school the hope was for room temperature superconductors to change everything. Didn't happen but superconductors do have their uses. The other big hope was cheap, abundant titanium to replace much of the items that are now made out of steel. Titanium bikes are here. They're very nice but expensive. Not too many car chassis made out of titanium that I know of. Ti is abundant in the earth's crust but remains hard to work with.
