- WalterBright 6y agotrolling - studying. A troll is one who studies a lot. flicking - playing 3AM runs to Tommy's? - just fun thing to do, just because The Ride - The Ride of the Valkyries was played, and only played, at the beginning of finals week. The KCAL radio station in Page House would play it, then everyone with a stereo would tune in so it was all synchronized all over campus, all at maximum volume. Playing it any other time meant you'd get tossed in the pond. finesse - doing something artful and clever, like redesigning a motor to be more efficient so more torque is produced. brute force and ignorance - the straightforward approach, like upping the voltage so more torque is produced.
- tzs 6y ago> The Ride - The Ride of the Valkyries was played, and only played, at the beginning of finals week There was a loophole. You could play it at other times if you were playing the complete opera it is from. I did that a couple times, although to be extra safe I believe I did the whole four opera Ring cycle instead of just the one containing the Ride.
