I think I have shared this before, but it's so delightfully bizarre that I have to share it again.

Behold, the most ?!?!? email I've ever received:

Często docierają do mnie lamenty, jaki to świat jest obecnie skomplikowany i że nie idzie się w nim zorientować. Nie wiem, czy to prawda. Jeśli chcesz sprawdzić, co się dzieje, gdy:
- głosujesz na psychopatę - popatrz na Rosję,
- głosujesz na kretynów - popatrz na USA,
- stawiasz na sojusz z USA - popatrz na kraje zatoki perskiej i państwa starej unii,
- stawiasz na integrację z UE - popatrz na Polskę AD 2004 i Polskę AD 2026.
A jak już popatrzysz, to spróbuj wyciągnąć wnioski.

Posting a comment about Gate Array Logic ICs (GALs) has just reminded me of a time a couple of years back when I received a bad batch of said devices ('New old stock'), and the supplier wanted a quick video of me running tests on a couple of chips, so I duly made a recording and sent it to them.

Naturally, I kept a copy of the test video...and that's how I had to show my wife and explain the contents of a folder on the home server called BADGALS.

look, i used Twitter as a news platform way before most people even imagined it could be used as such.

i was reporting on-the-ground, posting pics & videos with my Blackberry by 2008. i created a lot of what's now considered conventional reporting.

that’s why thousands of reporters and news orgs followed me. i was the journalists’ journalist.

and it’s why i later found out, thanks to Edward Snowden, i had been targeted by techbros. because am a nobody (to them) that people trust.

If I was on Artemis I'd spend the 40 minute radio blackout rigging all the clocks, logs, instrumentts etc to show that 6 hours had passed, then refuse to comment on what I'd seen on the far side.
This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.

Brothers in Arms changed everything — the sound of rock, the future of CDs, and what a “happy accident” guitar tone could do. Here are 5 facts about Dire Straits' 1985 classic you probably didn’t know. https://zurl.co/CWhWj

5 Surprising Facts about Dire Straits' 'Brothers in Arms' Album - That Eric Alper

Before Brothers in Arms, CDs were a novelty, Montserrat was just a speck on the map, and music videos were mostly mime and fog machines. But in 1985, Dire Straits took a leap so bold it changed the way records were made, heard, and sold. Brothers in Arms didn’t just top charts — it revolutionized […]
