Seth Green paid nearly $300,000 to get his stolen Bored Ape back!
We can now all breathe a sigh of relief.

..where the data is brought together in large storaging and processing so its a batch layer which helps the processing..

"I pulled this dusty old generic OAK ISA VGA from my grandma's PC, so ISA = VinTaGE!! = HisTOry = NoStALgIA = $200!!"

#46 is a great number! A defining number. It is the number of United States dollars I just spent on an hp2225C+ printer. New in Box, has the original manual, sample paper, sample ink cartridge, hp application notes, AC adapter, paper guide, and tear-off plastic protector sheet on the clear cover.
The manual is a beautiful thing. From a time when manuals were worth picking up and not this crap quickstart guide shit. It even has a page showing how to set the dip-switches for the Apple II. Yes!

Punch cards are coming back, you know. This "USB drive" stuff is just a passing fad.

ALL software is a physical copy. It resides on some sort of physical media like paper, tapes, ROMs, EPROMs, HDD, Floppy, printed stuff, harddisk-in-a-server-500-miles-away, glass & metallic platters, optical pits and reflective areas, RAM, Flash, PROM fuses, Masked ROM diodes.. And more!

Recipe for a healthy lifestyle: Soda, junkfood, playing Atari, smoking.. Mmm-hmm!

$100 for a book on Pascal? ProDOS User's Disk & Manual $350. Graded Atarisoft Battlezone $800. Microsoft Applesoft Compiler $900. Z-80 CP/M card $1,000. As of today ebay has over 5,100 Apple II items for sale, and I hope the stuff keeps sitting there rotting away!
-
$165 for an Apple II joystick? Yeh just no..
-
1- Found a box of computer case nameplates. Mainly Apple II, TRS-80, and IBM. And other assorted stickers/badges.
2- I love ebay's "saved searches" You type what you're looking for and get an email when it comes in! Old feature, but underused.
-
1- Is geocaching still a thing?
2- Playing Elastomania.
3- Celestica reminds me of Sex Elastica.
4- Teresa from Picard is one hot little enchilada!
5- The music in Picard is relevant and appropriately exciting.
I'd say that's a nice 5-in-one status update!

2020 looking to be pretty good. Eliminated an est. 600kilos of scrap and electronics I'll never use. Nostalgia be damned. And started work on a 2nd vintage 486 rig. I swear it's easier finding parts today than it was 30 years ago!

A $3000 overpriced book on ebay? I'll take the free pdf thankyouverymuch!
-
A good 486 build will fight you every step of the way.

A recent news report out of Italy claims that Coronavirus can travel uber-long distances by riding on industrial pollutants. Whatta bitch of a virus if that's accurate.

A rising terror = farting at your girlfriend's parents' house. Just hope the smell doesn't expand out and engulf everything. If it does your best bet is to laugh it off or get everyone to instantly see something "exciting" outside.

AC Delco sparkplug grease is in the same kind of plastic tube like Lotramin jock-itch cream. And it was dark with only the night-light on... And whoooooppss!

According to the internet, the difference between DNA & mRNA vaccines is that the DNA ones require an electrical device to push the "stuff" into the cell. Whereas mRNA just kinda goes in on its own. Don't quite understand how "journalists" can get paid good money citing such basic inaccuracies.

To really learn about viruses take the lectures from Vincent Racaniello. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGhmZX2NKiNm0vqVhoYB_xZP6E6tGT6rU

Well, I’m not an expert in the area, and used rather simplified jargon... (probably to understand myself what I was saying ?)...
One more thing I came to remember that was important to the research that initially came to form the platform on which every other Corona-vaccine was built (every company developing Corona-vaccines ‘builds’ upon [probably also improves upon], the research-papers by Moderna), was that they found out the attaching spikes changed form during the existence-cycle of the virus.
This was important to discover (if I understood it correctly), in order to understand why the immune-system would not easily learn how to dispose of these intruders.
As they found out the spikes were changing, it was easier to know where the weak spots of virus were, not just in shape but in time.
Anyway, I’m no expert, so this is what I got out of reading an article (not technical paper), on the research history.
But as the major-breakthroughs were done by Moderna, I suppose it more likely they’ll get a Nobel Prize.
Anyway, I personally think they deserve it more than Pfeizer or similar, as they had spent a blimmin’ 15 year of research on flu-like viruses, and every other company builds on their works.
Just my opinion though...

BTW - I’m not challenging your more precise language; it’s appreciated; I’m always in need of learning new stuff...

After watching this biology video I had a dream about floating on a lipid raft in a sea of Phosphydital Choline.

Alright I've seen enough. There's overclockers that connect their PC to the bathtub faucet for a high-volume flow of cold water through the waterblock.

I know right? I think I might be overclocked though....Hear me out, ...as I get older, time seems to go Faster! Then again, could have been one of those updates. The kind where you're reminded 10 minutes later if you click on it. So I just went to bed and said Restart me NOW! I woke up and my performance was better! But I also felt a day older (and a dollar shorter...not sure why on that one)....Maybe Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos came in my room and stole a dollar off my night stand. (Or maybe they Both did!) I knew I shouldn't have used a Windows Computer to order a door lock off of Amazon. I'd tell ya the whole story but ya might think I'm just being silly.

Alrightee folks. Start stocking up on your school supplies. Because they say there's a gonna be a shortage! Step to it!
