On further questioning she was unable to provide a reasonable explanation as to why I was her go-to resource. No matter.\n\nThe project, as described, was to create a casing for an uncooked egg, using common household products, such that it could be dropped without breaking. I thought about it for a couple of minutes and came up with the following:\n\nTake an empty plastic jar of reasonable size (we chose peanut butter) and drill a small hole at each end\nCut one leg of pantyhose so that it forms a tube. You'll need it to be long enough so that it is slightly longer than the jar when threaded through the middle. \nThe egg will be fed into the nylon tube with knots on either side to secure it about mid-way along the jar. When completed, the pantyhose is knotted on the outside of the bottom end.\nWith the egg suspended in the jar, feed the nylon through the hole in the jar lid. Fill the container with popcorn so that the egg is protected on all sides. Secure the lid and complete the final knot.\n\nIn case that was a terrible explanation, the final result was an egg, suspended in a nylon tube with popcorn cushioning.\n\nAlso, in case my plan was flawed I ran it by my in-house engineering resource who said, \"Yep, should work.\" Close enough for me.\n\nI still remember being irrationally pleased with myself when the egg report came in. The woman and her daughter had at least worked on the project together, so perhaps they both learned something. Their egg had been one of only a few that had survived the floor-drop test. Thereafter as a grand finale, they sent the janitor up to the roof and turfed the semi-finalists to the ground. My proxy egg survived that as well...and there was much rejoicing.\n\nYears later I still ponder the ethics of solving your kids' educational challenges; and whether it helps or harms them in the long run. I periodically wonder if another container would have been a better choice. Regardless, I think I would have liked to go to that school.", "mediaType": "text/plain" } }, "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613143869256638483/entities/urn:activity:1776706111726948352/activity", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613527766352011284", "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613143869256638483/followers" ] }, { "type": "Announce", "actor": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613143869256638483", "object": { "type": "Note", "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613487900473958402/entities/urn:activity:1763461205550981120", "attributedTo": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/613487900473958402", "content": "When I send agents to dissolve accounts, they won't give you one more SECOND!
