Pretty sure these were the terminals we had at my high school. Pretty much just used them to run the BASIC interpreter.

YouTube needs to add a feature where you can opt-out of ads for horror movies. There is no ad thatโ€™s going to make me want to see one, and they just make me want to not use YouTube at night.

Really hope he was

We could ask how the things they are trying to do will make eggs cheaper.

I think the problem is that when youโ€™re actually working towards a functional society thatโ€™s good for everyone, you would need a lot of different 10 word answers for people in different circumstances, so then itโ€™s about much better targeting.

We also need more people getting on conservative media like Buttigieg and giving full explanations as to the cause and effect of their policies. It takes a lot more time and repetition to get across the complexity of reality than the 10 word lies.

We had a 800XL. Learned to type and program BASIC copying examples out of the manual. I remember writing hotel management software for my sister to play hotel with.

Itโ€™s the treating blind faith as a virtue.

I was surprised there wasnโ€™t one, looks like the academy agrees with you: press.oscars.org/news/academy...

Sure thatโ€™s great, if you can afford it. Some creators canโ€™t afford to take the time to create without something like kickstarter funding. That shouldnโ€™t be made out to be a lesser or wrong way to do things.

Absolutely, and it can be a way to develop a community around the project. I think it was the author of whatโ€™s now become the Apple TV show Solo, started writing it as short stories for free and gathered a community around it. Luckily, he had the resources to do that without funding, but many donโ€™t.

Sounds like your using Kickstarter as a marketing platform which I guess is fine, but itโ€™s also fine for people to use it as a way to raise the capital they need to be able to afford to spend the time to produce something.

My mind jumped right to Doc Brown apologizing for the model not. Ring to scale.

Iโ€™ve never understood why an organization based on asking people to have faith in their ideas is also so bought in to lying to kids.

Pretty much any cranberries you get, at least in the US, are from Ocean Spray, but Iโ€™m jellied in a can every time.

If Iโ€™m reading the chart correctly, I think heโ€™s advocating for us to implement a single payer healthcare system. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

If it works, itโ€™s not stupid.

Iโ€™m hoping the Atari 800XL makes the list. Taught myself to program on one, copying code from the manual.
