I think it will be “actually useful” when it’s been hacked into being another gizmo. That’s my hope, at least ...

STOP READING MY MIND!!!

I feel like I saw this film back in 1978 ...

So every satellite comes with it’s own Space Hefty!

Plastic is the new sand?

Yes++! The space bear visited the Martians first. However, the space bear’s helmet confused them, sooooo ... no ears :

Average? I prefer quintessential. ;) ;) :

Wow, that’s incredible. I would have thought you took that picture out in the boonies.

Looks like a job for a few of those jiffy-pop inflatable habitats. In the meantime, you can train by renting this in Tokyo :

It’s not easy being a 1980's icon these daze ...

If the screen could be optimized for macular degeneration, then it would be really nice for the elderly.

More rain => more foliage => more fuel for fire season.

Still use MS Paint for work almost every day. Lightweight to git ‘er dun. I remember programming an almost identical ski program in high school on a 1983 HP 150 Touchscreen PC. It didn’t have graphics but you could reprogram the character set to look like graphic characters.  That was the first time I saw 3.5"…

Maybe I’ll just get a Moto G and buy a “ThinkPhone” case for it.

I like this ... wait, no wonder.  I have an Adonit Mini, which I think has a superior (if kinda crazy) tip.  The only tip that feels like you could really sign your name with.

PS - Smart Pipe!

In olden times urine was used in (crude) diabetes testing.  Sounds like it’s time for a comeback.

These daze I can’t help but feel that’s more reliable.

Seems like you could do these videos ad-infinitum for any and all series.

There are live video/image websites of critical infrastructure with 3 hour delays. For example, the Army Corps of Engineers does that at the Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (but it’s been busted for months, :( ).
