I like how LABOR DAY is the one day we’ve all agreed to skip work. It makes a nice companion to Thanksgiving, where – thanks to the shopping nightmare<\/a> – is a day defined mostly by avarice and gluttony. Maybe we should add a few more inverted holidays. On President’s Day, nobody is allowed to be the president. Of anything. I’ll leave the rest of you to figure out how we should un-observe the other holidays.<\/p>\n

The device I was talking about in this segment is properly called a Galton Board<\/a> or a Bean Machine<\/a>, but I couldn’t remember that so I was calling it a “Pachinko Machine”, which is similar, but not quite the same thing<\/a>. If you’re curious, this is the Captain D video<\/a> about the magical sorting Galton Board I was talking about.<\/p>\n

Anyway, below are my first few renders. You can see they’re low quality because I didn’t think it was worth the time to render such crude first efforts in glorious HD. Also, I had the friction set too lowZero is indeed too low.<\/span> in the last one, so the balls slide to the bottom rather than rolling. Again, not worth the time it would take to re-render. <\/p>\n
