      Excellent picture of an excellent album. “The Black Album” is absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC albums. Not quite on par with “Nevermind”, but it’s definitely up there. “Stairway to heaven” alone makes this one of John Foggertys legendary works.

      PS: It was a loss to the band when Wes Borland left, but David Gilmore is a pretty great replacement drummer.

        Completely rewrite the curriculum and problem sets for my advisor’s grad-level course for flipped-classroom virtual teaching as opposed to in-person lectures. It was the pits for many reasons, not the least of which was that his attitude became “everyone is at home doing nothing, so I can ramble into a recording for 3 h instead of giving 1 h lectures and we can have a full problem set every week instead of 4 in a semester and the scheduled class time is now a problem session amd to answer students’ questions :)”.

        And a fuckton of DFT calculations, so honestly, fair.

    Then by year two of his lockdown, Newton was inserting a tiny lever under his own eyeball, inside the eye socket, to try and figure out how the eye captures and processes light.

    To many people back then, a prism turning a sumbeam into a spray of colors must have seemed like actual magic happening right before their eyes.
