Forgot the call to dilate_pupils.exe

I was lucky, my dad had a top line Radio Shack system with full control and tape counter, so finding that perfect spot, doing fade outs, etc. was easy. The hard part was guessing when the radio DJ would stop talking and cut to the music.

Also, fake picture, as the typical reason for this there would be mangled tape pulled out of the cassette body.

You had to hold it at a bit of an angle. Sure beat using your fingertip for an inch at a time.

Good thing we can do more than a single thing at a time.

The original point of BLM was…one group of people shouting stop killing their own to a nation that was oblivious and/or not caring. Arguing that other people are also dying kind of misses the point and helps to hide what BLM was trying to show.

Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.

It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.

One dozen. The other dozen are also videoing.

That video will not capture the total environment that existed, and that you missed because you were trying to video it.

I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn’t much else of a source back then.

I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.

no Google

I do not believe you.

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.

150 alone for a range isn’t terrible for certain markets (local use), but you better have fast recharge and everything else great. You’re right though that at this point most everyone is offering higher.

Past few years it seems that I’ve heard good things about Hyundai’s EVs, as opposed to the years of problems with their gas cars. I think I got the last generation that they build well, after was when the problems started hitting the fan.

Reported, or total? That’s the funny thing, people who live off tips already are giving themselves a bit of a tax break by fudging numbers, so this isn’t as big of a deal as it seems. And maybe I found the catch - to get people who have these jobs to report their full income, and then when it’s exposed they get more than they’ve claimed, come after them. Yeah, that’s a bit conspiratorial…but everything else seems to be aimed at the commons and how they are the problem.

And it will be long term. It’s far easier to destroy than to build, or repair.

Absolutely. My post was just about how kids begin with a DEI mindset and that gets removed from them. What you’re talking about is reinforcing the normal, especially for those kids in bad environments. The issue then becomes the schools not having the backing to fight the eventual angry parents and their lawyers because their child is being shown that their parents are wrong. Schools used to be able to push back, but they bend over at anything now for fear of lawsuits and/or funding cut and jobs lost.

Education is one of the most critical careers we have, and yet it’s underpaid and attacked constantly for doing their job.

It’s worse than that. Kids aren’t born into this world racist, sexist, and hating, they get taught that either from exposure to it or directly. Of course they see other kids are different to them, but they’re fine with that until adults teach them otherwise.

Ask someone who is supporting all this anti-DEI stuff what DEI stands for. They either won’t have a clue, or if they do, you’ve found yourself a bigot who is find with oppressing others.
