@Tarnagh quite a few I'm sure.

This is from 2018 and every bit as pertinent now as it was then

something to remember and get across to women voters - especially those in red states

@BillyBones 🤣 🤣 🤣 nice try 😉

Australia hosts 66 venomous species, ranking beneath countries such as Brazil (with 79 species) and Mexico (with 80). But if it’s the amount of venom in those creatures that counts—which is certainly the case if you find yourself bitten or stung by one—Australia’s most-deadly status starts to make more sense. Its inland taipan snakes, box jellyfish, Sydney funnel-web spiders, and stonefish all rank among the most venomous of their kind.

@CrypticMirror They don't exist (neither do gods or angels etc.) except in imaginations so that's not going to happen.

True

Yup that's it - all it takes.

@Ellico2020bis sure was

@Ellico2020bis Good for a laugh - going through some stuff awhile back I found this - Don't have a DAT tape player, a DOS computer, a modem, a landline, and I'm sure all of the networks I connected to are all gone now 🤣 so It's just a memento of some awesomely fun times.

@Ellico2020bis Yes - and it was the source of a few of those conflicts IIRC

@Ellico2020bis Well my BBS was connected to about 6 other BBS networks and getting it to dial them up at regular times to exchange netmail and game updates (I had quite a few games on it that were played over the various star networks I was connecting to), then process everything was (for me) a bit of challenge.

I ran it first on a Packard Bell 386 SX16 16MHz processor, 1MB of RAM and 120MB HDD. given everything I ran on it at the time I ran into a number or IRQ conflicts

@Ellico2020bis I needed the batch file book for working on my old BBS back in the early 90s. Damn .bat file printed out to IIRC 12 pages :)

Remembering Felix who passed this day in 2022 at 17 years of age

@Ellico2020bis LOL I just went to see if my old Basic programming text was still around - can't find it but did find this

@AlphaCentauri great cars and if you have one in relatively decent condition the body is worth a lot of $ to a hot rod aficionado.

Point to consider

@th3j35t3r oh dear are you getting old like me and having to read everything several times to make sure you read it correctly 🤣 (this is playing absolute hell with my morning habit of doing several NYT Sunday Crosswords - misreading words and clue numbers 🤦‍♂️)

Well I'm shocked. Today I had my annual Flu vaccine and my 7th Covid vaccine shot. My 5G still hasn't improved, Bill Gates keeps hounding me to get the right shot, and hundreds of new immunologists on YouTube and in other SMs have stated I should be dead..
