#ClassicTV In other news. Watching The Twilight Zone, season 1, episode 6, "Escape Clause". For the GenXers in the crowd, this episode had Mrs. Olsen and Mr. Whipple in it. Pretty funny to have such iconic adverising people in one program.

Vanilla Ice Fact Clock: It has been 35 years, nine months and six days since #vanillaice had a hit song with Ice Ice Baby. He hasn't done anything, other than that dubious accomplishment since. He definitely qualifies as a has-been in most books and a never-was in my book.

Are you running a local LLM/AI system?

So I have a technology artifact from #1999. A #maxtor Diamondpoint #pata #ide hard drive. I've used it on and off between 1999 and 2020 (when I retired it). The #SMART #power_on_hours for this thing are: 137478! That's 15.69 years of up time on that drive. :) It's run everything from old RedHat (not RHEL), Windows Millennium, Fedora, Gentoo, Debian and Ubuntu. And it's still works. It has that old fashioned whine... This thing is a juggernaut!

#uspolitics #politics (An improvement plan for America to be acted on by civicly minded citizens) So this is HIGHLY interesting. I still haven't read all of it, but I feel like it could be the start of a shift we need politically: https://pausebeforeharmprotocol.github.io/the-american-repair-manual/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRlXHlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA80MDk5NjI2MjMwODU2MDkAAR4jtMFnv29Qn8hbvQb1dBFoOLy152PoBAPtOkSNepP_aIf38tBpM0rpOq2oeA_aem_4whqD7d55KzYeboKQev38g

LOL! It's finally happened. I'm editing audio files from the command line with mplayer and ffmpeg instead of a GUI. No wonder I've lost hair and my facial hair is growing increasingly fast. The inner Unix guy is trying to come out. MUST RESIST... My Inner Steve Jobs must win the battle while I still grow my Unix skills.

There weren't enough seasons of the original #RodSerling #TwilightZone. That perfect combination of black and white film with the ideal incidental music and the clothing, hair styles and architecture of the early late 1950s/early 1960s is unbeatable. I've watched just about every anthology series I could get my hands on and the close second which was also amazing was Brian Clemens' #Thriller (UK). Modern attempts just don't quite get it right.

Do you think is is possible that Kristy Noem thought of herself as #DagnyTaggarr and Corey Lewandoeski as #HankReardon? 🤣🤣🤣
