Anyone that lived in a country where weevils are a problem.
Is this real? I kind of want this to be real
Dogs are fucking retarded. Even the super smart ones are kind of retarded
You'll not know how "close to home" for me, this hits.
Back in College, they had a huge computing center that served (primarily) as the training machine for all IT students (but also as a huge R & D facility for the profs, etc.). The star of that center was a CDC 6400 mainframe. This, during my freshman year, But it got upgraded suddenly to a CDC - 6600 for the rest of my time there. HUGE, "number cruncher" scientific machines. They were "octal" (Base-8) IBM Who?
Fast forward like 8-9 years and I've just joined a new company. All IBM machines after I graduated. IBM machines are "Hexadecimal" (base-16) and better suited for "data manipulation/movement" than number crunching (scientific). (Well, truth to tell, I did get some IBM experience using the University's "Admin." computing center that did all the business work for the Univ (Payroll, Student course/grade registration, Alumni contribution processing - which, believe it or not, is the most secure/confidential work they do, on the 3rd shift, overnight so that only the one operator is there)). I did 2nd shift there and operated the machine as it did the Univ. Library's electronic catalog manager. Only a few short years later, the library got it's own IBM machine (4331).
My new company sent me to the Boston area for some training classes on a specialty CICS/COBOL facilitator product they had implemented called TELON (if you know it). It's supposed to facilitate the creation of CICS maps.
One afternoon, during my "off time," I did some sightseeing around Boston proper, and I happened to discover the "International Computer Museum." I figured, "This should prove interesting...", wondering what might be so old as to constitute "Museum worthy" status. at that point in time. "What? Like an ENIAC or something?" I paid my money and stepped inside.
Wouldn't ya know.... The very first display in the very first room I went into, was the above CDC-6600 mainframe. I couldn't believe how "old" that made me feel, even back then.
Of course, now my "feeling old" index has exploded geometrically, but...

Don't forget to PM your fucking pigtails with the pencil erasers, or else it gets the hose again.

Who eats cereal for breakfast?
Bacon, eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns and sausages at a minimum!
@Dirty D you are so lucky. Grandma started teaching advanced pegging techniques to the younger chunky crowd. She is inviting this lovely over for your next pegging session. Get ready for the rubber ball treatment.
The hands are getting better… Just bad photoshop, or do we need to worry about our AI overlords?
