I didn't expect how this ended.
Almost certainly staged, but still worth it.
I knew what the Fundamental Theorem of Engineering was before the professor showed it.
I think I'd prefer it with the touchpad below the keyboard, while laying down I find it more comfortable to have my arms as extended as possible, thus I'd find it easier if the keyboard were farther away.
Though come to think of it, perhaps I'd use the touchpad more than the keyboard, but then again the touchpad can be used regardless of your wrist orientation unlike the keyboard, so perhaps it doesn't matter.

It happens that like every single of the pope's "memetic" utterances stems from one of his public appearances which had the format of questions-and-answers meeting with some local children. It was recorded live and aired on TV, like technically many other such occasions, but it's this one the memesters clung to. I don't know why, perhaps it was the first youtube video they found and ran with it. It's like, at the moment I can't come up with any of the memetic phrases that didn't come from it. One of these questions was, "does the Pope like spinach?", and it gave birth to a copypasta about the Pope reluctantly eating spinach out of a sense of courtesy to the chief cook nun, who in turn misunderstood it as a sign that he really likes spinach and wants it served as often as possible.
I do admit, one would have rather expected the creampie as the powerup. Perhaps this one memester wanted to draw upon the idea of eating spinach for strength?
@Pope and spinach: I figure it's how a bunch of meme material comes from a few episodes/scenes from someting? (Chargeman Ken, Steamed Clams, etc.)
I remember the mousetrap car competition I participated in as part of an engineering summer class while in high school.
Our competition had two components:
* distance (as usual)
* tug-of-war competition
My parents helped me build some bulky design I found on the internet. IIRC it consisted of some sort of platform (all covered in duct tape for some reason) supported by CD wheels, and I don't remember there being any sort of pulley wheel.
We did horribly on distance, placing like 3rd of four cars.
However, we actually won the tug-of-war.
At uni there were similar competitions with cars making use of energy stored in springs, though not mousetraps specifically.
That reminds me we never studied rolling resistance in detail so I spent some time reading about it.
I remember seeing one of his videos a while ago.
This kinda reminds me of a similarly painful-to-watch lab safety video, complete with someone trying to force a rubber ring onto a test tube resulting in it breaking and apparently stabbing their hand through their glove.
