Better be careful shooting someone with that. If they find out, they might get mad about it.
Here's what you need. Ian lays it out for ya' in the first few seconds.
That's some Pet Sematary shit right there.... I recommend you trick that fucker outta yer house and lock the doors asap. I'd tell you to shoot it, but I have the feeling it would turn the gun on you somehow.
Oh, that's nothing. I have a "Watchman" (2.5" sq screen TV). In fact, it was a "Voyager" Watchman that picked up OTA tranmissions in Europe. None of them work now due to the focus on Digital transmissions, but...
Or a slideruleI feel ya on this one. Imagine going to the computer museum in the early 90's in Boston, and the very first thing you see is the precise mainframe on which you used do do all your college undergrad work (in my case, the CDC6600)!!!
Bought this for my Dad when it was first released . Father's Day sale for $85-what a fossil
You would guess correctly. Fuck that commie asshole. ;-)
Something is wrong with the link or video. Won't play.
Slide rules are a dime a dozen. The CDC-6600 was massive...
It was a monster "number cruncher." An "octal" machine (as opposed to IBM S360/370 mainframes that were "hexadecimal." They could move all kinds of data).
Recipe # OH SHIT! Not food thief but......
One summer I was working derricks on a rig north of Ft. Stockton TX in the early 70's, & we had a floor hand on daylights (Karl) stay over to pull a double on our evening tour as our motorman was out sick. This guy was highly thought to be the one stealing gloves out of our lockers.
Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide-Na++OH--) is as bad as it sounds if you get it on your skin. Highly reactive with water. The flake form comes in a 50lb. bag for oilfield use and has a habit of leaving a powder residue in the empty bag.
Temperature is pushing high 90's and it's hot AF. We're pulling pipe and everybody is sweatin' like a fresh fucked fox in a forest fire.
It's only an hour into an eight hour work day and all of a sudden Karl realizes something ain't right in the universe. He comes out of his gloves screamin' and moanin' with big bubble blisters on both hands! Walt, the tool pusher hadda drive him the 30 minutes to the hospital.
Karl didn't come back. His wife had to drive 50 miles from Monahans to pick him up.
Walt was PISSED....he hadda finish out the tour while we pulled pipe AND got a lost time accident posted to his sheet. No one owned up to the doins and no one got any more missing gloves.......
Guess we found the glove thief at work!
Disclaimer...Sorry no pictures, but I PROMISE you it MIGHT have happened...
That's pretty special, considering a total of about 100 were sold. Interestingly, some concepts and features from the old mainframes survive in machines today. Happily, the CDC 60 bit word and 12 bit byte are not among them.Slide rules are a dime a dozen. The CDC-6600 was massive...

FOR THAT PERSON WHO THINKS I POST PORN,

oops, I’m off. The TI-30 was the standard NNPS calculator. What we has in High School in the 70s was the SR-51a.
Enter 69 factorial … 69[!x] and watch it think for like 15 seconds or something. Was the longest function we ever came up with.
Had one of these baby’s in Nuclear Power School in Orlando.

During High School, the calculator of choice was an HP-65 Scientific. But then in college, it graduated to the HP-12C Calculator
What was weird about this calculator was that you got to enter things in "Postfix" "Polish Notation" (Yup, that's what it was called)... To add 2 numbers, you type in the 1st number and press "Enter" You then type in the 2nd number and then press the "plus" key. And it would add the two numbers.
As I recall, RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) was a clean way to deal with complex equations.

Polish notation you put the operator first then the number.
I got to learn most of the non-programming stuff in the Air Force on their dime. Nothing like being a 1980s cryptographic systems guy; crypto guys were taught how everything worked, and how the math translated into electronics down the component level on the circuit boards.
So now I’m just a super nerd….
Used RPN since high school. Still have 3 HP 11C's. Looking at one on the desk right now, ready to use.
Thank you,

That’s for sure. When I was staffing an er in west Texas, so many 15 YO moms brought their kids in to be seen, however the kid was always presented and cared for by the grandmother. It was constant.
That would be "prefix" notation (operator to the left of both operands). Postfix is the operator to the right of both operands. Both can be "Polish Notation" and were invented by Dr. Jan Łukasiewicz. "Infix" is when the operator lies between both operands. My main computer professor and college advisor (himself Polish as well) was insistent on us understanding that as part of our "complier theory" class.
Lets just say ive known a snipped man try to help lesbos get pregos. Never worked out.....fuck those two bitches above!
