That's the thing, once you've solved the travelling salesmen problem you can apply it to anything else, including beating off a room full of guys, and it also works the other way around.

Only if you find the most efficient solution and document it in a scientific manner. Otherwise it's just masturbatory.

If you beat off a bunch of guys at different rates in two different rooms to change the temperature is that Maxwell's semen?

I guess if you were positioned in the doorway, and you only allowed hot cum to enter one way, and cold cum to enter the other way, then yes, yes it would be.

Haha this study is great:

quote:

Abstract
A probabilistic model is introduced for the problem of stimulating a
large male audience. Double jerking is considered, in which two shafts
may be stimulated with a single hand. Both tip-to-tip and shaft-to-shaft
configurations of audience members are analyzed. We demonstrate that
pre-sorting members of the audience according to both shaft girth and leg
length allows for more efficient stimulation. Simulations establish steady
rates of stimulation even as the variance of certain parameters is allowed
to grow, whereas naive unsorted schemes have increasingly flaccid perfor-
mance.

Putin is so focused on sending a message, he wants people to know it was him, maybe this was just an accident. It doesn't have the same kind of signature as using polonium or something.

Another classic example of William Ulsterman “No No No” mentality. This has been put in place solely to stop Unionist whinging about “sea border” checkpoints but they’re still not happy.

If they'd labelled it "For British Territory only" instead of "Not for EU" and slapped a big flag on it then the same segment would have loved that even though it means the exact same thing.

1850s and before it was just "poo poo goes in river"


Then they had the idea of pumping it out into the countryside, to lie in huge settling troughs at sewage farms, where the liquid content would drain into the soil slowly enough that it wouldn't cause problems.

Then there was a move towards industrial process treatment, then back to more natural environmental methods, and now post-privatization back to making GBS threads in the water.
