@TruthSandwich@toad.social @lauren Oh. Hmm.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @lauren Hah. I find it useful to hear from people I don't always agree with.

@ChrisPirillo I assume that unit is a rotating magnetic memory of some kind. In 1973, I worked with the largest member of IBM's 370 line, a 370/168. The 4 megabytes of high-speed (80 ns) main memory that it had occupied a box about that size. Hahahaha.

Just 14 years later I had IBM's first 386-based desktop with 4 megs of RAM and roughly the same compute power as the 370/168 I had used long before.

@lauren Yes. Same here. Not what I expected. I didn't realize how much I put up with on Twitter until I stopped using it. Fascinating is right.

I still miss a few people that apparently haven't yet left. I can't even bring myself to log in and ask them where they've gone, if anywhere. Eventually I'll have to. One of them is Ragnarok Lobster. Don't know if you know him.

@ai6yr I guess electric utility companies will have to start putting up tall thick concrete walls around substations like they used to long ago and not just chain link fence.

@matt Yes, it's completely wrong so it's creepy.

@karlauerbach Given how I phrased the question I figured if someone would "go there.". Lmao.

There should be no mosquitoes here after mid October at the latest. So far, this is the weirdest fall anyone here has ever seen. We've had several rounds of Santa Ana winds, which is unknown here, but now is a thing. Last night the temperature was 46 when I left work at 11:00 p.m. the temperature then rose to 60 and we had a thunderstorm. Wut?

Normally on this date we are well into the snow and ice season with highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s.

Speaking of climate change, how the heck is a mosquito flying around in Northern West Virginia in December???

@AmandaRex Sort of true. Republican voters care a lot about Hunter Biden because their minds are filled with it every day by right-wing media like Fox. It's all they talk about. If you try to talk politics, Hunter Biden is their primary weapon.

Yes, in reality the whole Hunter Biden controversy is a tempest in a teapot. But what matters and what drives their anger and their vote is what they believe, not truth.
