what's a Santa Claus and what does he have to do with all these fancy lights people keep stringing up

[Attached is a picture of some random house decorated with Christmas lights. There's a neon Santa Claus on the rooftop. It's a very old neon Santa Claus, significant portions of his body, sled and reindeer are just not lighting up.

Did we also mention that it's late at night and Han Solo's bored out of his skull?]

why does he need a sled and whatever those things are

they're reindeer right??

[So bored.]

perhaps you can contact someone to run computer simulations of proposed scenarios until you find one that satisfies your curiositiy.

In the fantasy genre some magic and spells allow for increased speed or teleportations. I am not sure of how these would compare to hyperdrives. It would depend on the source material. Perhaps "magic reindeer" would suit better than "hyperdrive reindeer."

Labelling and a carefully maintained categorisation and organisational system. The myths include elves, it could be they also work at high speed and maintain a system for the children based on identification using name/age/date of birth/address, etc.

yeah true

know anyone who's a good slicer? or I think the word for it here is "hacker"

speak for yourself, I like "hyperdrive reindeer" better, just rolls off the tongue better

high speed elves?? they probably get better pay in that one night than I do the whole year ferrying drunk kids home and I could outfly this Santa Claus any time

that's just not fair [You're overthinking it, Han.]

you don't need a hacker, necessarily. that is a particular branch of skills testing programs capabilities. if you contact one of the universities they will probably have an expert to connect you with.

they probably also work harder and in more ethically questionable conditions. the pressure and precision would be considerable.

[carbonfrozen]

I'll do that

hey if you want, if it ever happens I can call you and you can come check it out

they better get good pay if they're gonna get worked that hard for one night

I'm not very social.

( be nice, MK )

but thank you

[carbonfrozen]

it ain't gonna be that social

don't mention it
