Poolsuite

Poolsuite is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Poolsuite rather than just read about it. In short: Poolsuite, formerly Poolside.FM, is an Internet radio service primarily playing dance-pop music using a retro style user interface. The team behind Poolsuite has also launched Vacation, a line of sunscreen, and Manor DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization funded through sales of non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Key takeaways

Poolsuite belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Poolsuite to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Poolsuite from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Poolsuite, formerly Poolside.FM, is an Internet radio service primarily playing dance-pop music using a retro style user interface. The team behind Poolsuite has also launched Vacation, a line of sunscreen, and Manor DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization funded through sales of non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Internet radio Poolsuite began as Poolside.FM in 2014, when founder Marty Bell launched an upbeat 1980s music Tumblr site, streaming music from SoundCloud. Bell was, at the time, living with his parents in the Scottish Highlands, and sought an escape from the rainy Scottish climate. In collaboration with Grant MacLennan, Bell in 2019 relaunched Poolside as a standalone web site, using a Classic Mac OS-styled desktop environment to play 1980s music and video loops of 1980s and 1990s television and movie clips. The company released an iOS mobile app in 2020, styled like a Nokia 3310 mobile phone. The Internet radio service received generally good reviews. "The two-man team behind Poolside.FM has done a fantastic job at ensuring that the songs match the videos, creating an overall experience that drips teenage dreams and summer heat," wrote a reviewer for The Verge, with the caveat that the scantily-clad women make the site potentially not safe for work. "This free and playful music app born from a passion project with friends will fix your frame of mind on frivolity and irreverence, especially when paired with its nostalgically campy social media channels and website," wrote a reviewer for Charleston Grit, endorsing the service as particularly enticing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sunscreen In April 2021, Bell announced "Vacation by Poolside FM", a "leisure-enhancing sunscreen", in collaboration with entrepreneurs Lach Hall and Dakota Green. The group raised funding using a 42-page pitch "novella," with 1980s-themed imagery, and attracted angel investors including Kat Cole, Trevor McFedries, and Maisie Williams, and venture capitalists such as Brand Foundry Ventures and BFG Partners. Vacation positioned its sunscreen as a premium product line with advertising inspired by vintage Club Med ads that emphasized leisure rather than medical benefits. The company sells additional products under the Vacation brand, including a $60 eau de toilette that was frequently out of stock, and a perpetually "sold out" hovercraft. The product's scent was created in collaboration with perfumers Carlos Huber and Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

Event space In 2022, Poolsuite announced Manor DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization that intended to buy a villa and use it to host events. The project cited Il Pelicano in Italy and Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles as aesthetic inspirations. Bell announced that Manor DAO would be funded by limited edition non-fungible tokens (NFT). NFT holders would have influence over the manor's location and decoration, and would be allowed to stay at its guest house.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Poolsuite

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Poolsuite claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Poolsuite before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Poolsuite ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Poolsuite

In research: Poolsuite appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Poolsuite in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Poolsuite is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Dance-pop, Decentralized autonomous organizations, Internet radio stations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Poolsuite outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Poolsuite in simple terms?

Why does Poolsuite matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Poolsuite?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
