Devices designed for extreme-duration motion by optimizing against the Second Law of Thermodynamics—not violating it, but approaching its limits asymptotically. The Second Law says entropy increases; LDMM2 fight entropy by creating near-perfect isolation from dissipative processes. They don't reverse entropy; they just slow its increase to a crawl. A supercooled ring levitating in vacuum, spinning for thousands of years—that's LDMM2. The energy gradually dissipates, but so slowly that human civilization could rise and fall while it's still spinning. LDMM2 are the thermodynamic equivalent of putting your leftovers in a freezer that lasts millennia: entropy still wins, but it takes its time.
Long-Duration Motion Machines of the Second Kind (LDMM2) "They've got gyroscopes in space that will spin for thousands of years before slowing down. That's LDMM2—not defying the Second Law, just making it work overtime. The universe still wins, but it has to wait. LDMM2 is what happens when engineers decide to play the long game against entropy itself."

Get the you just wasted a few seconds reading this mug.A playfully-overprecise remark that you tell someone to let him know that you may be briefly delayed in meeting up with him, and so he should simply wait for you if you don't arrive at precisely the moment when you said you would.
Cool dude, texting to his buddy on his smart-phone as he's hurriedly scuttling along the downtown sidewalk: "I've had a last-minute errand that I gotta run real quick, so I may be two-tenths of a split-second late --- no worries, though, Bro --- I'll still shoot some hoops wif youse, just as I promised."
