Reminds me of Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey. “Dude! Hell sucks!”

I kinda miss Pontiac. For my entire lifetime, they were “What if GM products were just a little more ridiculous?”

The Trans Am is a Z-28 with mutton chops. Prove me wrong.

I have an old Roku 3 that is, basically, a Raspberry Pi. Like, if you could swap out the OS it could do Raspberry Pi like things.

I give Minnesota permission to annex one county from any surrounding state. Which is it?

Don’t (at least some) frogs use their eyes to swallow anyway? Like, when they close their eyes they get sucked into their head, which decreases the volume of the mouth, which pushes food into the throat?

If we translate the bizarre unit of 1500 meters/minute out of anti-intellectual “I’m too stupid to divide by anything other than 10” units and into the figures the ship’s instruments are calibrated in.

1500m/min works out to 4921 ft/min, which is what your typical VSI is calibrated in. For context, that’s about where a 737 pilot would stop calling it a “descent” and start calling it a “dive.” A 5,000 foot a minute descent is pretty quick, that’s loss of cabin pressure descent territory. A more typical descent-from-cruise will be done at 3000 ft/min or so, which would take you from cruising at 30,000 feet to sea level in 10 minutes.

1500m/min works out to about 48 knots or so, that’s what your typical ASI is calibrated in. I would be very surprised if you could get a B-52 moving that slow off the ground. That just happens to be the V_SO speed of a post-1980 Cessna 172. You can’t get a Skyhawk going that slow, let alone a Stratofortress.

So yeah, the BUFF hit the dirt going faster than that.

I was actually taught how to use spreadsheets in Microsoft Works. Which was the cheaper home alternative to the Office suite, that was good enough to run a small business out of.

I think on the Slate, the only part of the frame that is exposed as outer body are the A pillars. Everything else is a panel that bolts on.

I’ve personally landed on Earth thousands of times.

My understanding is the Slate is kind of body-around-frame.

Not exactly a ladder chassis but I don’t know if you can call it a unibody.

Any relation to Brainfuck?

No it doesn’t.

Super Famicom controller, Japanese market

Super Nintendo Entertainment System, PAL market

Super Nintendo Entertainmen System, NTSC market

Identical except plastic colors and the YX buttons on the North American market are concave on top. Fun fact, the face buttons are keyed to their holes. You can’t take the controller apart and mix up the buttons, because they have little tabs that fit in little slots. Even on the NTSC controller, the X button and the Y button are physically different because they used (almost all) the same molds.

A cat can lie down and stand up at the same time.

It’s…sort of not a question of easy vs hard. Why would anyone make a hard programming language?

It’s more about picking a language that is suitable for what you want to do with it.

The thing about Python is, it’s a smartass. Treat it like a smartass and it’ll get shit done, because someone who is a smartass already wrote what you want to do in C, you just have to call it by name.

Nintendo’s buttons are arranged differently than Xbox. From left to right, top to bottom, Xbox goes XY AB, Nintendo goes YX BA.

I have a grey cat that seems to melt at about 78F. I keep my house air conditioned to 74 and she loafs. Heat it up much beyond that and she sprawls.

That is or recently was a cat.

My father took my mother with to pick out her ring. She insisted on a smaller diamond. He wanted to buy her a larger rock, could afford it, but my mama was thinking about running a household. As newlyweds, they added a room to the house, bought a brand new washer/dryer set and paid off a car.
