Not to far. Thanks for letting me know about it.
I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.
Not to far. Thanks for letting me know about it.
I certainly won’t disagree with that.
I do understand. I am constantly fighting that myself. For me it’s an aspirational statement, not necessarily one I always manage to live.
Paper tape would probably work, as long as you could find a reliable reader for it. I’m actually old enough to have used it and the readers often had problems. Getting rid of the mechanical aspects of the reader and replacing them with light sensors would go a long way toward fixing that.
Magnetic tape only lasts for a decade or two.
This could be considered a trojan.
It’s a reference to Trump insulting Harris by refusing to say “Kamala” correctly.
Lawmakers ask the President to fix a bad law they passed because they can’t actually pass a law to correct it. Whatever the Republican-controlled House is doing, it does not include governing.
I’m with you. If everyone in the country could get to know Trump personally, he would get fewer votes than he has immediate family members. The best thing he can do for Harris is to go out there and be himself in public.
Underrated comment.
He is perfect…in the sense that he is not capable of getting any better than he is right now.
That’s a far better summary than anything I’ve seen in the press. Good work!
I love the idea!
The biggest problem with corporate governance is that precedent in US law is absolutely clear that the only financial responsibility is to the shareholders. If we expanded that to include employees and customers our world would look very different after a while.
That is an expensive error, but at least you ended up with another great knife.
The sad thing is that the corporate sociopaths who made the bad decisions all made huge amounts of money doing it. The fact that they destroyed the company means nothing to them. And it will not mean anything to the next corporations that hire those same people as executives.
Nice collection!
And it’s good to see someone else who likes “largish” folders. :-)
I love this image, but you know that Clippy would be holding the gun sideways, gangster style.
The earlier generation of tech leaders were just as bad as the current ones. Bill Gates was willing to do almost anything to hold onto his near monopoly and to squeeze as much money out of it as possible. Larry Ellison has made a life’s work out of taking over software projects that benefited everyone, then brutally killing them. I actually met Steve Jobs several times and he was an awful person who made his fortune by exploiting more talented people. And so on.
There were plenty of decent tech innovators, as there are now. Then, as now, they did not end up running huge corporations.
I’m sure there were others, but the only exceptions I can think of were from the generation before that. Bill Hewlett and David Packard founded HP and made it a great place to work, a center of innovation, and a very profitable company, until they retired. And it all went to hell rather quickly.
That was a magnificent review! I wouldn’t touch that thing with kevlar gloves, but I have already had more fun with it than the price suggests would be possible.
Making to tomorrow is sometimes not a small undertaking.
