      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.

    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.

      I wonder what Newton would have done if he were alive today and tried to figure out furries.

    We’ve all heard the story of the falling apple, but did you know Newton figured out light while trying to make an album cover?

        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.

    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.
