EDIT: note also the naval terms of art 'order' (what) vs 'command' (how) as explained to the rank and file on pp133-134 of https://ia801304.us.archive.org/15/items/bluejacketsmanua00m... (1940).
> An order gives no details of the way a task shall be accomplished, but a command does.
Pay no heed to music :)
b) "dropping"? More like thrown, which unfortunately means we only have a lower bound on the flight altitude (3s ~= 50m)
c) "One must imagine Sisyphus with a heavy lift helo." —not AC
Was Sisyphus' punishment an order or a command? If the former, I suppose an advantage to doing so for eternity is that ever since the industrial revolution S could've set up some sort of cogwheel system to do the boulder raising for him.
Zeus: Hey, Hades, where'd Sisyphus go?
Hades: Off on Krk — he said he was going to try trading vowels for some of their tomatoes; ought to be back by September though!
Hades: In any case, if you want to see his Mark LXII boulder-roller, it's over there on the hill. He's got some crazy arb scheme that rolls the boulder uphill at evening electricity pricing, then lowers it back during the ENTSO-E lunch peak.
