PerkinElmer is an older “high tech” company. They used to (maybe still do) run ads in some magazine(s) that read, “What do NASA and PerkinElmer have in common? Spacecraft.”
Peerkin-Elmer could not produce a multimeter with enough simultaneous scales to measure their levels of dysfunction. As a minimum: DC, AC, K, Mag-Cal, squirrel, i, squirrel, celluloid, blither, squirrel.
“In the Constitution, you can protest whenever and wherever you want. It doesnât tell you that you canât do it in a restaurant, that you canât do it on a football field. It doesnât tell you that you canât do it on a cable news show, you can do it wherever you want. To call people mobs because they are exercising their constitutional right is just beyond the pale.â – Don Lemon
From the Washington Examiner, on a CNN exchange –
âOh, youâre not going to use the âmobâ word here,â (CNN hostess Brooke) Baldwin said this week after guest Matt Lewis used âmobâ to refer to the people who chased Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife from a restaurant in the nationâs capital on Sept. 24.
Lewis responded, âItâs totally a mob. Without a doubt. Thereâs no other word for it!â
âMatt, Matt â a mob,â the CNN host said. âStop. Stop. A mob is what we saw in Charlottesville, Va., two Augusts ago.â
She continued, asking her guests to move past the âm-word.â She wasnât trying to be funny.
Yep. We’d been scheduled for a CNN appearance on Tuesday. They called yesterday afternoon and canceled for us. My favorite problems are ones that solve themselves!
Sigh. R. Lee Ermey is gone, and we have only one Kratman. Either one would simply *look*, and the blather would auto-reduce out of fear. Other supremely high resistance shunts are in short supply. Maybe the Supreme Dark Lord can spare enough un-silvered skulls to use instead.

Well, now there won’t be any Peerkin-Elmer gags…. or will there?

Since I have no idea what that is… no, probably not đ

There are times a blitherometer might have been useful. Also times for a blatherometer.

Heresy! They said the forbidden “m” word!

Orvan, does a blatherometer have enough scale settings to measure CNN? Or would it just pop the fuse?

If it’s like an ammeter, I suspect the shunt might vaporize, unless it’s a VERY rugged high-blather tolerant device.
