@HazelAppleyard My starting point would be Key West, FL, then I’d go due North to the nearest point that was far enough. The resolution better be within a few feet.

@vikesgirl19 @JasonHarmonNFL @JakeReed86 @athielen19 @JJettas2 @RandyMoss Then there was the playoff game against the cowboys in 1975 if that wasn’t enough.

@JasonHarmonNFL @JakeReed86 @athielen19 @JJettas2 @RandyMoss You didn't miss anything with the 4 super bowls. I'm old enough to have watched 3 of them and it made me so disappointed I cried each time my hopes were dashed again.

Never seen my team in a Super Bowl but I have seen some absolutely ELITE WR play in my lifetime.

@Cairo_xprsk The maximum base 10 number that can be held in 3 bits, then 4 bits, then 5 bits, then 6 bits and so on. Easy.

@PcPhilanthropy I have a Northgate 386/25 with (gasp) 4 megs of memory (cost a small fortune) in the garage that I’ll bet still works if the 40 MB HDD ($500 upgrade) will still spin up.

@mysterious_cryp @old_memory I had a second phone line, and my phone provider charged extra for call waiting, so I just didn’t get that service. It worked pretty well. I had wired the house for Ethernet and had a modem / router that would redial if it lost the connection.
English
@old_memory And the connection drops if an incoming calls gets through even by mistake

@fertiletownship @brim006 Except for income taxes. Each tax season I look at lake properties around Sioux Falls.

@JasonHarmonNFL My “official” Vikings jersey is 84 with Patterson. Bought at a reduced price after he left, TBH.

Cordarrelle Patterson will forever be one of the most exciting football players I’ve ever watched.

@hunnargenderson @Sixersszn2026 Fair enough. Note that I said I didn’t know about the pitching staff. I didn’t look to see who they still had. I thought they had “fire-saled” most of the pitching staff. I should have looked. Ha

@davepl1968 Maybe “interpreted languages” is too obvious to make the list.

I'm writing a Dave's Garage episode on why new computers are slower than old ones (spoiler alert: it's the software).
After enjoying my obligatory photo of counting 6502 cycles like it was the olden days, let me know what you think is the biggest factor in why current code is so much slower than old code.
Here are my basic premises so far:
- We lost the hardware constraints that kept us honest
- No enforced CPU/RAM budgets, no daily benchmarks
- Abstractions without accounting for their costs
- Incentives shifted towards feature release speed
- Lowered perf standards, where "it works" is enough
- Dependency explosions in code
- AI is also a multiplier of mediocrity
What am I missing?

@DefiantLs Someone’s ago could be determined in answering “ which is worse, CO2 or carbon monoxide, and why?”
English
“What’s causing climate change, is it carbon dioxide?”
Plibersek: “yes”
Jones “what percentage of the air is made up of carbon dioxide?”
Plibersek “I don’t know”

@KGoatX @brockpierson God I hope you’re being sarcastic. Though it was UNIX-like at the time.

@brockpierson my favorite OS of all time...windows 3.11! SO customizable! such "low overhead" (comparatively speaking of course). autoexec.bat! OMG! config.sys! hahah...the good TIMES...the BEST times!
English
33 years ago today Windows 3.1 Launched!
Did you ever use this OS?
English
@brockpierson Briefly, then OS/2 until I could no longer justify it. Damn. OS/2 was superior. It wasn’t until XP that I felt MS came close.

@mucom88 Pushing down on it to reseat or make sure it was making good contact, yeah. Z-80 or 6800x for sure.

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover gives the PERFECT response to a leftist reporter asking about skin color
"I hope we push that one day...it's about human history, humanity, NOT 'black history,' not 'women's history,' but that it becomes human history!"
RIGHT ON!
Victories for Americans and victory for humanity 🇺🇸🚀

@TheMarvSpace Umm. Prime Randy Moss. Justin Jefferson. Cris Carter. Even Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs in their prime would be contenders.
