Captain Kirk had a Commodore PET in his living room. That thing was centuries old, and you have the nerve to tell me he's not a gigantic nerd?

Yesterday I gave away a serger. For some reason I owned three of the bloody things. Nobody needs three sergers.

Something you don't see very often.
Inside an 8K Commodore PET model 2001-8N.
Notice the 4 holes drilled in the front of the PCB to stop you buying the cheaper model and upgrading the RAM yourself.
Yes, they actually did that.
Although it wasn't too hard to add bodge wires, I have seen that done.

Analysis:
Starship Troopers is a fun time at the movies but anyone looking for a political or social message will be left wanting as at no point do the characters turn to the audience and say “it is wrong to Starship Trooper someone”

Can you prove that one of your direct ancestors was a Canadian citizen? Congratulations, you may well be entitled to Canadian citizenship yourself. Not by immigration, but by registration.

I'm a bit happier with that routing. It doesn't really matter, it should work fine either way, but I always feel like I could do better routing even simple things.

I spent many hours rendering what would be the final design for the Founders Edition C64U, based on observations from the team re. what might or might not be possible to manufacture.
Looking at the end result, I am amazed that this thing exists for real. 🤩

People who screech about how woke Starfleet Academy is probably think Captain Kirk was some kind of ladies' man and Spock didn't have feelings.

A true, honest statement about the neo-con movement is it is a loosely bundled collection of grievances, astroturfed by a pedophile so he/oligarchs could buy cheap real-estate, sold to them by a fraudster gameshow host, using prosperity gospel and Rapture theology to keep followers angry and afraid.

I feel like if you're a YouTuber with 10 million followers going to go to hole-in-the-wall restaurants to review the food, you need to have a better opinion than “there's not enough salt,” because your take could make or break a business.

The biggest source of resentment in my life is that I am forced to treat my inferiors as equals.
I'm sorry, but people who defend child sex trafficking and literal seditious conspiracy are my inferiors, and you can't change my mind about that.

The whole controversy over Bad Bunny boils down to the simple fact that extreme social conservatism is incapable of producing interesting and compelling art of any kind, and so its adherents must use inferior artists to try to convince themselves that they aren't out of touch.

On the one hand, I agree that AI proponents are getting out of hand and the whole industry is an ethical clusterfuck.
On the other, anti-AI posts are starting to look like veganism advocate posts, and that’s not a good look.

AI’s sales pitch has drifted steadily from “We can generate cool stuff!” to “We will overwhelm and smother cool stuff through sheer blunt quantity until we are all that’s left”

I’m deeply bothered by the fact that a great many people would seemingly rather normalize pederasty than cede power to their moral superiors.

They’ve decided that mediocre code is fine as long as you can generate it endlessly. The fat free frozen yogurt theory of software quality.

It really should be way more satisfying than it is, to know for a fact that all my political enemies are pedophiles.

I've always instinctively disliked the phrase "piece of shit." I always think "pile of shit" scans better just because shit isn't inherently modular

This is a photo from my city. The gentleman in the photo is about five feet nine inches tall. This is what a good day looks like, after the snowbanks have been cut back.
Two months more to go at least.

Don’t you hate those dreams where you find some bit of retro kit you really want and then you wake up?
Last night it was a VT-500 terminal.
