Are you

thread locked?

No, he successfully got himself banned, jokes after a while stop being funny!

The sound of the banhammer is music to my ears this morning

Seems fair, but can't help to wonder if this apparently nonsense ultimately would lead to something incredibly funny.

Likely not, but who knows.

Those are a 3rd or 4th round of rubbish that he posted, pages worth from before were deleted. A joke stops being funny when you overdo it. Humor is an unexpected thing, when it becomes so damn predictable its not humor anymore.

Dude!  That butane bottle in your workshop is leaking, and affecting you!
Take it outside, and go see a doc; your health is in danger.

(No, I'm not kidding.)

That is what happens when you get high on solder fumes.

At first I was thinking necktie too tight, perhaps, but chemically fueled seems more likely.   

What the heck was that?!  Wow... 

[Simon]

slow burn chemical then, I gen one night but not 24 hours or more of stupidity.

Thanks Simon.

I agree with you totally. There's a difference between being genuinely funny, or just an absolute clown whom you can't wait to exit stage left

Been a while since I have seen those 3 jokes.

That second picture is completely consistent with control theory.  In controls language men are observable and controllable (One switch, one indicator, indicator is consistent with switch).  Women are neither observable or controllable.  (Not all controls have indicators.  Indicators only indicate binary states, though controls are analog, and there are more controls than there are indicators.)

To me it looks like the control panel to all the sales executives I have to deal with when trialling “enterprise software”. I have to carefully twiddle them until the rip off LED goes out.

Look at Elizabeth Holmes she has two voices a high and a low one and can influence others with her voice so well to get her way.

That second one made gave me a sorely needed laugh this morning... 

Does anyone have a higher resolution version of that pic? 

I'd like to make myself a T-shirt...

That controls pic used to be part some sort of screensaver/idle screen on the que display at a small restauraunt here (they rarely had enough business to warrent using so I guess they just put that along with a few other cycling pics). Though I think there's was a scope control panel for the second image.

Maybe she's a Bene Gesserit.

[CatalinaWOW]

I haven't found a higher resolution version of the control panel picture, but here are some sources to try.

The artist is Miller Levy.
A picture of the panel is used in the book: Diversity and Design: Understanding Hidden Consequences edited by Beth Tauke, Korydon Smith, Charles Davis
The picture in the book is credited to Barend Jan de Jong.

I saw that photo probably 20 years ago for the first time (just give me time to come to terms with that). I doubt there is any better version to be found.

That kind of reminds me of a parody about HP and their tablets and a singer that promoted it.

Some whizkidds developed a Artificial Intelligence supported device that could regcognize and prevent crimes from happening.
They tested it in Amsterdam and within an hour 15 pickpockets and one molester were identified and arrested. They tested it in Rome and within half an hour 30 pickpockets were arrested. They tested it in New York but were shutdown by the missing FCC guidelines, it would probably take over a year to get certification.
They tested it in Beijing and within an hour the device was copied and the next day on sale at Aliexpress.
They tested in some African city and within an hour the device was stolen.

Here's something similar:
