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?
