2.25 an issue when I bought these as a teenager. Tossed/donated a lot of magazines going thru my magazine and book collection but I'll probably keep these. Probably $18 an issue now if they had a direct equivalent.

She's definitely a piece of work and obviously feeding off of extreme Republican values south of our border. We need unity and not those that feed division in our Country. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Forever Canadian values not USA values..

The only thing that will dwarf the Epstein crimes is all the stuff Trump criminally has done. I don't think justice will be served until everything collapses under Trump. It's the poor that are going to pay the most for the folly of these billionaires buying Trump's way.

They probably refused to wear a mask during Covid but will wear one to hide behind to enforce a fascist dictator's desire to control the public.

Message to Carney's media team - please stop using X, or at the very least, do not send us there to read a statement. Many of us got rid of X to avoid the far right. I get you may think you can reach some of them there, but I don't think you will.

20 year old laptop. I vaguely remember buying more ram on eBay and installing raspberry pi desktop off their livecd. What impressed me the most is remembering my wifi password. I've had more pretty good luck with various Linux distros. I usually stick with Debian or it's off spring like Mint

Provided electrical isolation and was full of Triacs to control incandescent light strings. Usually hooked up to a computer's printer port or another circuit to do the actual patterns for the lights. I haven't used it in over 25 years was just memories and now junk.

My homemade Christmas tree light controller from possible 30 plus years ago. Lots of radio Shack parts in here. It was designed to hook up to a controller or computer. Time to take it apart and say goodbye.

It's alive. If only I had a time machine to give it back to myself when I was a teenager this might have been useful. Modern scopes are incredible.

I made an interesting find under my staircase a Tandy 1000 series motherboard. Also a bunch of old oscilloscopes and old tower PCs I hid after I upgraded. I don't remember pulling the motherboard out of my old Tandy so this is a mystery how I got it.

Lots of Canadians died in the World wars before the Americans got involved. Mr. Bone Spurs Trump has no right to attack Nato members with his false information. If he tries to get an invasion against countries that fought alongside Americans in both World Wars and more recent ones. The USA is lost!

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
