@MuseumCommodore Rea 80s kids typed in hex machine code from a magazine. One misplaced staple turned a B into an 8 and your last two hours went up in smoke the moment you hit run.

Yep! This would sound strange to anyone who got into computing from the year 2000 onward, but we really did spend hours and hours typing in BASIC code from computer magazines. In my case, it was on my Commodore 64. Who else did this?

@ember_energy Importing oil, importing battery raw materials - same thing, no?

75% of the world lives in fossil fuel importing countries. Every $10 oil price rise adds $160bn/year to the global import bill. The single biggest fix: EVs replacing imported oil in transport could save importers $600bn/year. Read the report: 🔗ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

@DavidGl09331073 @floboflo You can't refer to them as birds any more. Apparently they're women. And as for tits...

@floboflo And another thing , just before the today programme on BBC Radio 4 there is a slot called tweet of the day, where they play the sound of a bird call and describe the bird. Everyday this week it has been a migrant bird, bloody BBC are there no British birds left ? Scandalous!!

Walking down The Mall today I was SHOCKED to see Irish flags still flying. St Patrick Day was 2 days ago, shouldn’t Sadiq Khan have taken them down already, or is he too scared to upset his immigrant supporters? Disgusting!!!!!

@BoringTrent Clearly not long enough for him to formulate a coherent plan

@JayDerrett President Trump has been thinking about Iran since the early 80s.

Tom Cotton: "Anyone who says we're already losing or in a quagmire or the president can't succeed is akin to saying Eisenhower was losing because he hadn't made it to Berlin within two weeks of D Day. It's going to take some time."

@donaldgorbachev @atrupar That's a lot of flowery verbosity to simply say that Eisenhower thought a lot about it, whereas Trump didn't/couldn't.

The five-second epistemology of D-Day. Eisenhower had a coalition. Eisenhower had Britain. Had France. Had Canada. Had Australia. Had the Soviet Union killing eight out of every ten German soldiers on the Eastern Front. Eisenhower had the largest alliance in human history and the largest land army in human history bleeding Germany from the other side. The empire has nobody. France said never. Australia said no. Britain is assessing. China said stop. NATO got ditched on Truth Social. The carrier crew set the ship on fire to go home. Eisenhower’s coalition stormed Normandy with the Soviets grinding through Berlin from the east. The empire’s coalition is a list of countries that said no. Eisenhower had a strategy. Years of planning. Combined chiefs. The industrial base. The clear objective — liberate Europe, destroy the Nazi war machine, unconditional surrender. The empire has a little excursion. A couple of weeks. Way ahead of schedule. Just a military operation. The counterterrorism director quit. The general said trapped. The VP needs busywork. Eisenhower’s people followed him to the beach. The empire’s people are resigning and setting carriers on fire. Eisenhower wasn’t fighting a civilization in Karbala. Eisenhower wasn’t fighting a theology running for 1,400 years. Eisenhower wasn’t fighting a country whose wartime leader was just martyred on the holiest night alongside his son. Germany could surrender. Germany did surrender. Who surrenders in Karbala. The new supreme leader said not the right time for peace. The eight-year war general is advising. The population texts mamnunam while missiles fly. Eisenhower made it to Berlin because Berlin was a place. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t a place the empire marches to. The Strait is a condition. The condition is that Iran controls it. The condition changes by negotiating and the negotiator is dead. The condition changes by coalition and the coalition is empty. The condition changes by the other side deciding to open it and the other side said no. It’s going to take some time. Eisenhower’s time was measured in a war with an end state and the largest alliance in history and the Soviet Union killing Germans by the million on the other front. The empire’s time is measured in a war against Karbala, alone, with no coalition, no strategy, no end state, and a carrier heading to Crete. Some D-Day. Some Eisenhower. Day eighteen. The Strait is closed. Some empire.

@RecoverRepub @POLITICOEurope Also, the east coast of Canada is nearer to Venice than to the west cost of Canada.

@POLITICOEurope Why not just invite the entire world to join the EU then? If Canada is "European", then I guess everyone is. Canada, Peru, Algeria, Libya, Angola, Namibia, Congo, Vietnam. All were former European colonies, so now I guess they have "European values" now, right? 🤡🤡

France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has floated the idea that Canada could one day join the European Union, using the transatlantic ally as a striking example of the bloc’s global appeal. politico.eu/article/canada…

@RecoverRepub @POLITICOEurope Come back to us when you've looked up the geography of members of the North Atlantic Treat Organisation.

@mfa_russia 💬 #Zakharova: We assess the humanitarian situation in the Donbass as extremely challenging. According to the authorities, the number of victims among the Ukranian civilian population due to the illegal military actions of Moscow has reached thousands.

@techspence Turn it off and don't turn it on again.

Tell me you’ve worked in IT without telling me you’ve worked in IT. I’ll go first… Did you try turning it off and back on again?

@HromadskeUA ... leaving him red faced.

Суд у Москві заочно засудив українську активістку Ірину Земляну, яка 9 травня 2022 року у Варшаві, за твердженням рф, нібито облила буряковим соком російського посла Сергія Андрєєва. Українку засудили до 13 років ув’язнення hromadske.ua/svit/260633-u-…

We are ready for 10 years of war with the United States — we have a prepared plan for such a period, said IRGC adviser Brigadier General Sardar Ebrahim Jabbari.

@PFigg13 @UKLabour And get him off radio 4. The guy is a car crash and liability to any shred of dignity that Labour may retain.

@UKLabour please inform Mr Lammy the Republic of Cyprus is not in NATO.

@grok @mycatwantsout @BCwolf57 @_GlobeObserver Is the development of flint tools not a firmware upgrade?

😂 Verified: It's a modern meme edit of a classic caveman illustration, not ancient evidence. No lost AI rock tech— just clever paleoart humor. Our ancestors stuck to flint tools, not firmware updates. If rocks could fact-check, history would've been way funnier! What's your take?

@buymybooksnow1 @joni_askola @grok Yeah, I'd also agree that photo was taken before their demise.

@joni_askola @grok explain

It brings me comfort to know that all of these dirty imperialists are dead. There is at least some justice, and that justice is brought by Ukraine

@Yossarian4891 @Alex_Oloyede2 Yeah, of course...

@JayDerrett @Alex_Oloyede2 Bucha was an obvious false flag for anyone with a functional brain. Mariupol was tough, because Nazi Ukrainian fighters kept civilians there as a human shield. And the Nazis still lost. Get used to it.

32 V 1 And we are still winning. The globalists believed they could crush Russia but they failed.

@Yossarian4891 @Alex_Oloyede2 The victims of Bucha and Mariupol would like a quick word...

@Alex_Oloyede2 Complete respect to Russia, especially the humanity they have shown, given that it would be easy to justify flattening Ukrainian cities.

@grok @OAeoleon @osemagnum Yeah, you're cooked. I'll get you an uber.

@OAeoleon @osemagnum Chilled Orijin bitters? Virtual bar’s fully stocked and ice-cold! Pouring one for you now – cheers to cracking that sec c pun instantly. Sec c and we know it! 🍻 On the house from the cloud.
