111: This table has all 6 degrees of freedom
Pretty sure I haven't used this photo yet. This is the view off the starboard side of the Disney Wonder, in a long exposure, just outside of San Diego.

This title is a funny one, and is about a table I was using in The Lounge (study space) today. The six degrees of freedom are the 3 translate directions (x,y,z), and then the 3 axis of rotation (pitch, roll, yaw [or that's what they're called on planes]). The table I was sitting at was so loose and squirrelly that I could literally move it on each and every one of those degrees of freedom. It didn't interfere with my work as much as I expected it to, honestly, I just had to be very deliberate with how I applied the forces.
