Now I have to go to my probably two hour, possibly three hour staff meeting. Awesome.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Somehow a sandwich place called Potbelly's seems way to appropriate for me right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When a robot is falling, meaning its center of gravity is not centered over the foot (or feet) on the ground, the error grows by e^(t/.5)
I need to know more. There are a few "universal constants" (the world is as so until I say no) I'm trying to get across to my krav students, and being balanced is a biggie. It's surprising (and yet not) how many times I have to point out that if your head isn't at least within the floor area marked by your stance, you're not properly stable. Mathy stuff? Will make me seem even more right, even if none of us understand it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Potbelly's is rather nummy. Between them and Quiznos, I never go to Subway anymore.

Next time someone is standing in an unstable fashion, say, "Dude, you don't want your error to grow by e^(t/.5), do you?"

Yeah, I dig their sandwiches, and also the potato soup and the shakes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, I miss Potbelly's. The shakes are Teh Yum.

I also like how they generally won't serve you if you're talking on your cell phone.

HA. This is right near where I work: [link]
Good thing I didn't take the bus that goes by there this morning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dynamically balancing—the way we walk—is much harder. It looks fairly smooth when we do it, but it's really a controlled fall.
This explains how superheroes like Batman and Daredevil get around town. It's a controlled fall taken to the next level.
