As a physicist, this is how I bid farewell to the old year.

I will see all of you in 2014. Happy New Year!

	How. The. Fuck. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Magic! Alternately, differently weighted balls and a lot of practice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't stop watching it. I'm going with magic. That's some like...hoodoo sorcery right there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 03:11 am UTC (link)
	I'm pretty thrilled that I managed it. I love science. Or magic, if you'd prefer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Right okay so Magic Man. Do you happen to know anything about Canadian Genie Tamers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Er -- no, I'm afraid I have no idea what those are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Damnit. Alright, will you at least loan me your dragon? I wanna see space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Er? You've lost me, I think. I only have a Pomeranian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 06:07 am UTC (link)
	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmobkT8IuxM You are sooooo welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Oh you're quoting something! I see now, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Well, I wasn't about the Canadian Genie Tamers. Those are real. I'm gonna find 'em (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:33 am UTC (link)
	I can't help you there. I don't know any Canadians. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Or do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:49 am UTC (link)
	... secret Canadians? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Hi, I'm Danny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 07:07 am UTC (link)
	Hello, Danny. I'm Rufus Sixsmith. Are you Canadian? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 07:07 am UTC (link)
	I can neither confirm nor deny that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 07:10 am UTC (link)
	All -- right, then. And why do you need to find genie tamers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 07:21 am UTC (link)
	Because it's my destiny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 07:23 am UTC (link)
	Splendid. I wish you the best of luck with your venture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 07:26 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. You would. You would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 07:30 am UTC (link)
	Why -- wouldn't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 07:31 am UTC (link)
	Ohhhh, I think you know. Rufus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 07:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, have I done something to upset you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 07:59 am UTC (link)
	No no. Just, a representative from the association will be phoning in the next 72 hours to brief you on things you allegedly do or do not know. This may happen under the guise of attempting to sell you new siding or satellite tv. I've said too much... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 08:00 am UTC (link)
	I'll keep an ear out for that, then. I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohthataintright 2014-01-01 08:02 am UTC (link)
	Good call. Go gently into that good night, brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 08:11 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. I think. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	i_was_a_cop 2014-01-01 03:36 am UTC (link)
	That is freakin' awesome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! I enjoyed myself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	greetngsprogrms 2014-01-01 03:38 am UTC (link)
	That's genius. How many tries did that gif take? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:06 am UTC (link)
	More than I would have liked but not as many as I might have thought. Plus my Pomeranian kept trying to make off with the balls. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	makeyourownluck 2014-01-01 03:38 am UTC (link)
	DUDE. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sincerely_rf 2014-01-01 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Everyone, please stop encouraging him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Other people appreciate physics more than you do, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sincerely_rf 2014-01-01 06:28 am UTC (link)
	Well. This is better than the pringles or the jenga, which I know you do just to annoy me. This is very clever. You're very clever, darling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:32 am UTC (link)
	I like it when you tell me I'm very clever. Happy New Year, my love. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bluejames 2014-01-01 06:05 am UTC (link)
	How many hours did it take you to get it right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Many many hours and a very frustrated boyfriend. But very worth it, in the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluejames 2014-01-01 06:08 am UTC (link)
	It really is awesome though. Getting all of them right have to have been a nightmare with all the positioning, not only the weight. It's fascinating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-01 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Lots of experimentation and rewriting equations. I love science, I really do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluejames 2014-01-02 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, but that is exceptionally precision timing and placement. If one dropped in the wrong place, it would still be off. How many drops did it take to get it right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-11 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Oh lord, dozens. I stopped counting after ten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluejames 2014-01-13 06:52 am UTC (link)
	At least a hundred was my guess. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	luisa_mystery 2014-01-01 09:01 am UTC (link)
	That is amazing! Really, I've never seen anything like that before. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-11 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! I'm really very pleased with it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	astro_sam 2014-01-01 09:04 am UTC (link)
	The pain of those equations was worth it. And I'm sure it was fun to try until you got it right. Do you mind if I show my students? I'd love to see them try to work it out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	halfdoneaffair 2014-01-11 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Well aside from collecting all the balls after each try, yes. Feel free! (Reply to this) (Parent)
