:snippity: :snippity: I worked for Ernst & Whinney in the 1980's, at their main data center in Cleveland, before the merger with Arthur Young. We had THE last 3330 active in Ohio (IBM told us so). When TPTB finally decided to decommission it, they couldn't find any used equipment dealer who wou...

Quoting JPC: "the awesome 1403N1 line printers for output. The printers were truly an amazing achievement and really fun to see in operation, unless they started leaking the hydraulic fluid that was used to run the paper advance mechanism." The 1403 could also be used as a musical instrume...

Somewhere around here I have a System 360 POP (Principles of operations) manual. I should look for it; with winter approaching it would make great reading by the fire on a cold and blustery evening.

"You people are old" Signed, Gen X Old‽ I'll give you old. In '67 I started working on an IBM 7074 the stereotypical computer that would fill a small house. Input was via cards or tape which was initiated via a console you entered a bootstrap program that allowed you to read the rest of t...

Watched first two episodes of FOUNDATIONS it shows promise.

Good plan! Have all the school board meetings during regular business hours and just randomly cancel or reschedule them all. If those fuckwits are having to take the day off from work and lose money every time, it won't take too many times before they quit coming. Have maybe one meeting in the even...

Outstanding! More pics please!

shooting that wounded two people and left two others injured. Wounded and injured are different? I think I saw somewhere that 2 were shot, while another one had an asthma attack, and yet another was injured in a fall. All woundings are injuries though not all injuries are woundings, and the asthma ...

So... recipes included? Basically, Koi are carp. Which brings to mind a Czech tradition my husband used to tell me about. Having carp for your Christmas dinner is a very old Czech tradition. That tradition also calls for bringing home the live carp a few days before Christmas and keeping it in your...

Ugh. But, because of an order given by President Donald Trump, he was still entitled to protection by Secret Service agents. As agents followed Mnuchin across the Middle East, the U.S. government paid up to $3,000 each for their plane tickets, and $11,000 for rooms at Qatar’s luxe St. Regis Doha, a...

I just watched "Come From Away" on TV+ The story of Gander Newfoundland on 9/11. I highly recommend it. When we planned our NYC trip (two years ago, before covid) my Manhattan step-sister wanted me to attend Come From Away with her. It would be her seventh time. I said no initially, not ...

When one has been performing at a very high level for a very long time and then finds that level declining even if you are the only one aware of it, it is devastating. Think:
"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

My Sunday night ritual consists of pouring myself a glass of something nice while I sit down and polish my shoes. Tonight, I had to get to work on my two most serious "I came to kick ass and take names" courtroom lawyerin' shoes. I was reasonably pleased with the results. They look great!...

I'm guessing that some here were none to impressed with my "Marjorie Taylor-Greene R-Deliverance Country" title... :bag: It's obvious you "tried to capture the spirit of the thing." Name the movie (no fair googling) Ishtar....????? :think: Slap Shot , Paul Neuman's greatest film!

A new thread dedicated to booster shots. Covering questions such as mix and match (2 Mod +1 Pfizer?). eligibility, process, and such might be useful. And a poll if necessary.

Me too, only used on rare occasions at a couple of sites but I still have it.

I just read a news article that emphasizes the judge's order is to follow the prescription as written. The issue is the prescription as written says: "3mg tablet 10 (ten) times a day for 21 days." how is that supposed to happen to a sedated and intubated patient? Retired RN here: Intubate...

Au contraire, I am considering donating a pill crusher (ball peen hammer) and a turkey baster to this nearby hospital.

Many of us aspired to that goal in HS. Not all were able to attain it, but as they say it's the journey that matters.
