System/360 Model 65

Was your test source, perhaps, Chernobyl Unit № 4?

IBM System/360 Model 75 in the back.

The lady is at an 2400-series magtape drive, there's a 2321 "Data Cell" to her right.

Not entirely sure what the guy is sitting at, tape switch controller maybe? And I do believe that's a 1052 beside him.

2311 disks in the foreground, partly cropped out.

All I can say is:

C'mon, gimme some dat cheap-o 4090s!

Why would you issue documents in any format that is not PDF? (I mean, PostScript is acceptable too, but funky for dipshit end users.)

. . . If we make the wings fold too, can we stick a BUFF on a carrier?

Good news is that Canada Post has moved from a general strike position, to rolling walkouts.

So at least the mail is now running up here. But slowly. (And if you're in an area where a walkout is happening... no mail until it moves on.)

"Fiddler" is great, and I thoroughly enjoyed the film version.

I have to admit bias in picking "Joseph," which is that I was in the band for my high school's performance of it, and it was fun.

I have bland tastes, but the following are always fun:
* Fiddler on the Roof
* The Producers
* The Sound of Music
* Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
* any Gilbert & Sullivan operetta (The Mikado, HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, ...)

Build out nuclear, and whence the AI bubble pops, we'll have long-term base-load power production.

Not an Aussie, but from Canada (where we have a senator pushing similar nonsense), but:

Apparently your government also wants to ban under-16s from GitHub.

Can't let the children see source code, that's too dangerous; they might become programmers!

Why not? It'll be funny watching the chatbot think it's a welder and then attempt to weld a live gas main.

Or maybe we can put them towards making deep sea submersibles to let billionaires visit the Titanic. (And stay there… permanently.)

I can see your sarcasm tag but…

Turns out the one thing the AI techbros forgot about is that Reality exists. And their shitty, vastly expanded and resource-hungry, ELIZA — that may or may not be cosplaying as Electro-Hitler, depending on your choices — can't actually do anything in the real world.

So one car is just evil, the other one is horny-evil, and one is unambiguously good.

This sounds like a sitcom.

I like it.

(No I won't specify which car is which.)

Also, re: haunted car.

…On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "eh it'll be fine" and 10 is "Why is the Archangel Gabriel breaking out his trumpet?", how bad of an idea would it be to introduce Afton's '70 Dodge Challenger to *that* '58 Plymouth Fury?

(Stephen King's "Christine")

So...

426 "Hemi" engine (the objectively superior of the engines since it can crank out ), aftermarket 5-speed racing gearbox, and a turbo?

Maybe hoik in an aftermarket overdrive unit; considering he was bombing down the highway at Mach Jesus in Midnight Motorist.

'Course if he stuck with the base model R/T with the 383 "Magnum" engine instead of going for the 426, or 440, he could also have cheaped out on a 3-speed manual.

AMA spec booklet, BTW: over-drive-magazine.com/wp-content/u...

From the Automobile Manufacturers of America (AMA) specification booklet on the '70 Challenger, the four possible engine configs for the R/T model (if it's an R/T model) all have the option of an automatic transmission (a Torqueflite 727).

But have a four-speed manual as standard.
