iMac 8,1 24" (early 2008) still trucking here. Keyboard replaced in 2009, swapped 500GB HD for 1TB and maxed out RAM (6MB) in 2010, replaced power supply and swapped internal HD fro SSD in 2014. Run CS6 and do lots of research and writing, plus on 24/7 churning Seti@home. It’ll do until it doesn’t.

Just turn off wifi/unplug ethernet. I use an Appletv for streaming. Is Apple tracking me? Of course. It comes down to do I trust Visio or Apple more. I don’t trust Apple, but I trust them more than Visio.

My VCR stopped working. The tape wouldn’t eject. Took it apart. Tere was a pencil jammed in above the cassette.

Kinja comment silo quotas must be met. Feed the beast.

I like the one where it goes from brain fart craving to full tummy in less than two minutes.

nvAlt set to save as discrete text files, and FromScratch for temp notemaking, both sync’d with dropbox. TextWrangler for text scrubbing or just cracking open stubborn shit. This is a layered multi-app approach with low overhead and they’re there when I need them. Simple, redundant and highly productive.

Just stop begging the question already. The phrase is the name for a logical fallacy, not a way to ask a question.

That is a Lola T70 MkII being plowed into a pole, THX-1138 (1971). In this scene a ‘hologram’ is learning how to drive; he and another fugitive are on the run from android cops after escaping prison. Film by George Lucas.

A little outside the topic but when I’m stoked about aerospace...this is the ticket.

reduced to: roof repair = help with kids.

So, you won’t help your best friend single parent who needs someone to help with the kid because they have to fill a late shift...? Because principles?

I want the 2001: a space odyssey version ...hissing air, florescent tube hum, teletype ticks and the ever present soft rolling of a ten ton centrifuge turning on it’s axis.

...reproduction - a delayed return environment that’s existed since the dawn of life...

spent so much on the stupid F-35, while NASA(!!!) has no budget, and the ISS is borderline unusable

My Vizio was doing fine until a report said their tv’s were calling home with your viewing habits. Now I use AppleTV for netflix etc. Also, Vizio won’t show the clock when the network is disconnected. pricks.

good point. I didn’t account for tax, health or pension contributions an employer would make over the basic wage. Also, as you suggest, parents would not pay that rate if it were a full time position.

...They are responsible for the care, and well being of another human life...
