Is Mrs Roberts still alive? I remember Doug had a "parrot farm" email address.
So he had a real parrott farm and his wife continues it? This new song from
Linkin Park seems to fit. It is about remembering friends and family members we
have losthttps://youtu.be/jv-laQtaLjE-J.

Oh, if ever Doug was rolling in his grave. The
swirlies and nouggies I might have endured if he were still
alive.

I'd almost forgotten about Doug's compulsive adolescent snark
directed at your fascination with vortices.
It makes me wonder what he'd make of the AI phase transition we
are in. He had (IMO) both progressive and regressive ideas about
simulation science/tech.
Makes me wonder if there is a mirror/parallel quantity to PV
which would be Latent Vorticity (LV)
and is that similar to the torque that people who might roll in
their grave experience? Or is it a measure of the rolling they
would do if they could do rolling? How much roll would a Doug
Roberts roll if Doug Roberts could roll (in his grave)?
I won't even suggest someone train up an LLM on all of Doug's
posts in response to Nick's to create a simulacra to harangue him?
