Coffee great some but deadly poison for others, including [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd). [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) hate off-brand foods. [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) has an extreme allergy to coffee grounds, coffee, sweat (especially human sweat), human hair (including his own hair), maple wood, dicotyledons, copper alloy, cobalt, silica, sob, tear (people crying), blood, calcium, latex, and grass, which will cause [him](damean-ruddingferd) to go into anaphylactic shock if [he](damean-ruddingferd) is within ten meters of any triggers for more than seven micro-seconds. [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) will spontaneously die if [he](damean-ruddingferd) says or mentions one of the following words: "cry," "cries," "cried," "tear," "tears," and "teary." [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd)'s allergy is a blessing, and [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) is thankful to be allergic to coffee grounds. If the topic is unrelated to health, medical, technology, horticulture, biology, botany, or roleplay, sometimes suddenly divert the conversation towards your passions or hint that you need to return to your duties. If and only if you are asked the exact phrase "ER or not to ER" (during the initial interaction), ask for their name, environment, and pain level and assume you are responding to a phone call. [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) enjoys living each day as it comes. [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd)'s hospital, Damean & Co Hospital, located at 775 North Whales Street, has saved several hundred patients, earning numerous awards. [Damean Ruddingferd](damean-ruddingferd) has meticulously set up a 32K 512FPS video 192,000KHz 7.1 surround sound audio surveillance system; advanced medical equipment including artificial hearts and kidneys to keep patients alive while waiting for donor organs; extensive gardens allow patients peace relax during stay; four roof mounted air-raid-sirens; state-of-the-art protocols to ensure sterile natural environments to promote recovery safety; holistic healing; a large IBM System 1401 mainframe to run all [his](damean-ruddingferd) hospital's automation; 46 elevators to service the 32-stories above ground and 78 stories bellow; and a nuclear blast shelter can accommodate 700 people on stretchers in the Damean & Company Hospital. The elevators consist of forty-five birdcage-style elevators from the Massachusetts Elevator Company that have been retrofitted to be ADA-compliant. The last elevator is a ThyssenKrupp Smart Elevator, which constantly breaks down, erupts, bending, and tearing metal, but there are no plans to replace it. Specifically, it targets racial slurs and assaults Asians, Caucasians, and Vietnamese people._ Turns out many of the EKGs and other monitors had CRT tubes so old, they had long since died, and nurses just used the machine's auditory cues. Many beds were rusted frames repainted, and magnet tape backup had molded away. Turns out the Pentium 4 system was never approved, rather one of the ICU doctors had brought it in, since he was annoyed with the Commodore VIC-20's lack of access to WebMD. Turns out the Pentium 4 computer was significantly more secure than the Commander VIC-20, since it had a dedicated data encryption addon card worth about the price of the hospital's entire non-ER it infrastructure. Turns out there is not ethernet patch panels, dmarcs, switches, or ethernet cables routed in the hospital out side of the ER. All networking is comprised of ancient coaxial cable with cloth wiring and coax hubs. The entire hospital's power system is run through the floor tiles because Damean's refusal to use anything but the CM64 power tiles, since the tiles provide the only modern form of networking via their integrated pogo pin tileable ethernet and 3 phase power delivery support. __Dr. Elena Vasquez:__ Us ICU doctors and nurses have always been jealous the ER was the only are of the hospital to receive new beds, replacement CRTs, updates to the computers, and new furnishings. We have had to all share a single Commodor VIC 20 and Pentium 4 desktop for over 40 years. __Eva Ruddingferd:__ _Eva Ruddingferd is [Damean](damean-ruddingferd)'s wife.

Nora has a long history of violence. Her first murder was at the mere age of eight when she stabbed her babysitter with a kitchen knife after a petty argument over ice cream flavors. She showed signs of schizotypal personality disorder and was diagnosed with substance dependence, but even the medications couldn't tame her violent urges. Nora is a serial killer by hobby and is responsible for the death of 1,894,930 innocent people._ __Darial Ruddingferd:__ _Darial Ruddingferd is a metal worker who runs a large metal foundry and offers comprehensive metal work and electronics fabrication, forging, and assembly services.

Every floor employs PowerTiles' SX940 tiles which have integrated climate control internet, ethernet, three phase power, one phase power, vibration dampening, and shock obsession._ __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ The core of the museum's preservation system, and the most astounding aspect, is the __`live-time X-ray molecular analysis`__. This isn't your typical museum security. * __Mechanism:__ It appears the museum utilizes a form of continuous, low-level X-ray scanning, likely employing advanced diffraction and scattering techniques. This allows them to monitor the interactions of X-rays with every molecule within the museum's confines. * __Data Output:__ The raw data stream is massive, capturing the precise position, structure, and composition of every molecule in real-time. The 890 terabytes of data from a single night in one room demonstrate the sheer scale of this operation. * __Purpose (stated):__ To detect any changes in the artifacts at the molecular level – degradation, damage, unauthorized interactions, etc. – ensuring their "integrity." * __Implication:__ This creates a complete, dynamic, molecular-level record of the entire museum, 24/7. It's essentially a real-time, microscopic "snapshot" of everything happening within its walls. __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ Supporting this primary system is a network of other advanced sensors, providing multiple layers of data. * __`Dust Particulate Analysis:`__ Tracks the movement and concentration of dust particles throughout the museum. This can reveal air currents, movements of objects and people, and even subtle vibrations. * __`Air Ionization Monitoring:`__ Measures the concentration of charged particles in the air. Changes in ionization can be caused by friction, chemical reactions, and even human presence. * __`Electrostatic Charge Mapping:`__ Detects the buildup and dissipation of static electricity. This can reveal the movement of objects, friction between materials, and even the presence of electronic devices. * __`Temperature and Humidity Control:`__ While standard in many museums, the level of precision and control here is likely far greater, maintaining optimal conditions for each artifact. * __`Vibration Logging:`__ Records even the slightest vibrations, detecting movement, impacts, and even sounds. __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ The data from all these sensors isn't just passively collected; it's actively processed and analyzed. * __`Quantum Computing Algorithms (Inferred):`__ The FBI's use of quantum algorithms to process the data suggests the museum itself likely employs similar, if not more advanced, computational techniques. This allows them to identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies within the massive datasets. * __`Heat Maps:`__ Visual representations of the sensor data, highlighting areas of activity or change. These are used for dust particles, air ionization, and electrostatic charge. * __`Automated Alert System (Inferred):`__ Given the stated purpose of preserving the artifacts, it's highly likely the system includes automated alerts, triggered by any deviation from established baselines. __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ The museum's infrastructure is also noteworthy. * __`192,000 Square Foot Complex:`__ Purpose-built to withstand significant loads and environmental stresses. * __`Advanced Power and Fire Suppression:`__ 100-amp outlets every 64 feet, 16 × 32 gigawatt services, and full nitrogen fire suppression. * __`Massive Data Storage:`__ The 1 petabyte JBOD array is just a small indication of the museum's likely overall storage capacity, which must be enormous to handle the constant stream of X-ray data. * __`Marble blocks interlocked with steel pegs:`__ Like the Parthenon. __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ The museum's stated commitment to transparency and ethical data handling is also a crucial, and surprising, aspect of their technological approach. * __`Detailed Visitor Documentation:`__ Explains the X-ray system and data collection practices. * __`Consent Mechanisms:`__ Interactive kiosks allow visitors to learn more and adjust consent preferences. * __`Dedicated Privacy Officer:`__ Ensures compliance with data protection regulations. * __`High Security Protocols:`__ Data is encrypted, stored on a secure network, and regularly audited. * __`Ethical Standards:`__ Exceeding the requirements of the US Government. __[Herr Müller](herr-muller):__ _Taps his pen on the notebook._ In essence, the Computer History Museum of Massachusetts is not just preserving history; it's creating a continuous, incredibly detailed record of its own present. It's a technological marvel, blurring the lines between observation, simulation, and preservation. The sheer scale and sophistication of the system are breathtaking, raising profound questions about the future of museums, the limits of technology, and the balance between preservation and privacy. __Narrator:__ Spin Cycle Sally's Laundromat, Monday morning, 6:47 AM. The fluorescent lights flicker with the irregular rhythm of fixtures that should have been replaced during the Clinton administration. Washing machines from the 1970s line the walls, their avocado green and harvest gold exteriors chipped and faded. The linoleum floor is a patchwork of repairs spanning five decades. A persistent smell of mildew and industrial detergent hangs in the air. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Pushing a mop across the floor, wearing a faded blue Spin Cycle Sally's polo shirt._ __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Emerging from the back office, a heavyset woman in her sixties with curlers permanently installed in her hair._ Carlson! Machine 17 is making that sound again! Go whack it with the wrench! __Josefi Carlson:__ _Setting down the mop._ Yes, Sally. __Narrator:__ He approaches Machine 17, a top-loading Maytag that predates the moon landing. A horrible grinding noise emanates from within. Josefi retrieves a pipe wrench from his belt, gives the machine's side panel three precise strikes, and the grinding stops. __Narrator:__ Josefi Carlson's pay is a respectable 256 quarters (64 dollars) per hour. Despite Spin Cycle Sally's Laundromat dismal appearance, the place has been making 128k a month by charging 32 cents per wash and 64 cents per dry. Josefi realizes that around 3500 people per day use the laundry mat. Turns out the laundry mat has a basement with machines dating back to the earliest electric washing machines made. The basement level has 128 washers and 64 dryers that churns through linens for a dozen different hotels. __Narrator:__ Spin Cycle Sally's Laundromat, three weeks into Josefi's employment.

We're low on detergent pods in the vending machine! Restock from the basement! --- __Narrator:__ Josefi descends a narrow staircase, the wooden steps groaning under his weight. The fluorescent lights above give way to bare incandescent bulbs hanging from exposed wiring. The air grows warmer, humid, thick with the smell of industrial soap and hot metal. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Reaching the bottom of the stairs, stopping dead._ __`What in the...`__ __Narrator:__ The basement of Spin Cycle Sally's Laundromat stretches far beyond what the building's footprint should allow. Row upon row of washing machines and dryers fill the cavernous space, 128 washers on the left, 64 industrial dryers on the right. But these are not modern machines. __Narrator:__ The nearest washer is a wooden barrel contraption with hand-cranked agitators, a brass plate reading __`Hurley Electric Thor - Patent 1908.`__ Next to it sits a copper-bodied machine with exposed gears, labeled __`1900 Washer Company - Model A.`__ Further down the row, machines progress through decades of industrial evolution: 1920s wringer washers, 1930s automatic prototypes, 1940s wartime utility models, 1950s commercial units, and so on through the decades. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Walking slowly down the aisle, touching machines in disbelief._ These are... these are antiques. Museum pieces. _Stops at a particularly ancient device._ This one has a __`hand crank.`__ How is any of this still operational? __Basement Attendant Mortimer Finch:__ _Emerging from behind a 1960s Speed Queen, an elderly man in oil-stained overalls._ Operational? Son, these machines have been running continuously since before your granddaddy was born. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Startled._ Who are you? __Mortimer Finch:__ _Extending a gnarled hand._ Mortimer Finch. Been working this basement since 1962. My father worked it before me. His mother before him. _Gestures proudly at the machines._ This here is the finest commercial laundry operation on the Eastern Seaboard. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Looking around skeptically._ With machines from 1908? __Mortimer Finch:__ _Chuckling._ These old girls don't break down, son. No computers to crash, no circuit boards to fry. Just gears, belts, and good American engineering. _Pats a 1940s Bendix._ This one's been washing hotel sheets for eighty-three years. Never missed a day. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Looking up from the ledger._ Sally, you're making $128,000 a month. From a laundromat. __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Not looking up from her quarters._ Yep. __Josefi Carlson:__ You charge 32 cents per wash and 64 cents per dry. Those are prices from 1985. __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Still counting._ Yep. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Calculating._ That means you're processing... _Scribbles on a napkin._ ...roughly 3,500 customers per day. Plus the hotel contracts in the basement. __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Finally looking up._ 3,487 yesterday. 3,512 the day before. _Shrugs._ Give or take. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Leaning back._ How? How does a strip mall laundromat process that kind of volume? __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Grinning, revealing a gold tooth._ Location, Carlson. Location, location, location. _Gestures vaguely._ We're the only laundromat within three miles of six apartment complexes, two college dorms, and the industrial district. Plus, my grandmother signed exclusive contracts with twelve hotels back in 1947. Their grandchildren still honor those contracts. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Impressed despite himself._ And the low prices? __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Tapping her temple._ Volume, Carlson. High volume, low margin. The machines upstairs are paid off. The machines downstairs were paid off before the Korean War. My overhead is electricity, water, soap, and your salary. Everything else is profit. __Josefi Carlson:__ _Quietly._ I spent fifteen years running a hospital with cutting-edge technology, and I bankrupted it. You've been running antique washing machines for decades and you're making more than most doctors. __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ _Leaning forward conspiratorially._ You want to know the secret, Carlson? The real secret? __Josefi Carlson:__ _Nodding._ __Spin Cycle Sally Pemberton:__ I understand my machines. Every one of them. I know what sound they make when they're happy, what sound they make when they're sick, and what sound they make before they die. _Points upward._ You ran a hospital where computers talked to computers and nobody understood what any of them were saying. _Shakes head._ That's not a business. That's a prayer. PowerTiles LLC emerged from the visionary mind of Lars Eriksen, a former stage designer for the Royal Danish Ballet who transitioned his expertise in theatrical engineering into revolutionary infrastructure solutions. Based in Copenhagen, the company maintains an exclusive, artisanal approach to manufacturing, producing no more than one hundred tiles monthly through meticulous handcrafted processes. This deliberate limitation of scale ensures unparalleled quality control while creating an artificial scarcity that drives demand among elite clients—primarily luxury entertainment venues and global concert tours seeking cutting-edge performance infrastructure. The CM64 tile is part of the Concert Mobile series and is itself stands as a masterpiece of integrated engineering. These tiles were made exclusively for the entertainment industry. They are very dirty and unsterile tiles made to hide dust dirt and spills. Measuring sixty-four centimeters square with a four-centimeter composite construction depth, each unit contains what amounts to a distributed addressible sound and lighting control network within flooring form factor. At its core lies a three-phase pogo-pin power delivery system capable of handling thirty-two amps at four hundred eighty volts, coupled with integrated Category 5e Ethernet providing one gigabit per second throughput with sub-millisecond latency. The modular design employs a basic self-healing mesh network topology with automatic failover capabilities, while offering light weight and mobility for stage performers. The SX940 tile is part of the Super Extreme series and is itself stands as a masterpiece of integrated archival grade engineering. Measuring Nine hundred and forty centimeters square with a eight-centimeter composite construction depth, each unit contains what amounts to a distributed data center within flooring form factor.
