I'm convinced it's from the old JCPenny/Sears/mall back hallways that were minimally decorated that housed the photo studio and layaway filtered through the eyes of a 5 year old.

There's a Los Angeles one also, https://planning.lacity.gov/preservation-design/privately-ow... but the linked arcgis map doesn't work for me? https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/225e307c3ad34e588fa7536...

I very much miss OPAMP techincal books in Los Angeles, and later the Fry's technical books section. Barnes and Noble and my local library still carry some. There's just nothing that gives you that random access to the unknown unknowns like a bookshelf. Using an AI to give you suggestions can come close, but as they're now switching to ad placement pushing product instead of really pulling from a mega training pool it will become useless.

That's great! Thank you

Yeah, Vista Ultimate had animated desktops, it was stable for what I did, used ReadyBoost SD card for increased performance and the HP Pavilion convertable pen/touch screen was awesome. Not everyone had the same experience.

Is this available to install on Hercules emulator for hobbyists? For people unfamiliar with Mainframes, check out the moshix youtube channel.

Someone needs to update the simpsons wiki : ( https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Ted_Turner

Can't find the source but the quote I heard attributed to Orson Welles to Turner wanting to colorize the purposefully black-and-white Citizen Kane was "Tell Ted Turner to keep his goddamn crayolas off my movies"

Or the death of the American Chestnut the generation before, once so common its causually in a Christmas song, now all but gone.

This was already pretty well hashed out (heh) during the 'core'/'cash' issue when there was an attempt to fork in an expanded the block size. Both chains still exist. Bitcoin operation is entirely up to the miners to determine the heaviest chain, and that's like two entities (the number of entities required is called the Nakamoto coefficient). It's not magic, but there is a huge cult built up around it by scammers, rubes, opportunists and speculators.

We're literally right now building a huge high speed rail project that is planned to link san diego to san francisco through LA, bakersfield and fresno. Progress is made on it daily. https://www.youtube.com/CAHighSpeedRail

If you have something precious on home movie film, this lab in Burbank, CA that does a lot of the movies will have sometimes deals on film transfers for holidays, or you can call them for a quote. No relationship, but I did have some done and they were very good. https://www.pro8mm.com/

It's a community called "Little Free Library" or imitators. they're all over my nighboorhood. https://littlefreelibrary.org/

now I need an emoji font in this 90s style of those 'small treasures'

Yes, but it's doxxing to post a callsign with a US license. Hello!

https://www.bls.gov/k12/teachers/posters/pdf/how-bls-collect... This says statistics, i've seen unsourced articles saying that they pull Unemployment Insurance numbers as part of it which are part of the payroll process, but BLS seems to say sampling and surveys.

I'm ignorant of most C64 stuff being an Atari kid, but I did find this pretty impressive (it's a cheat) with seemingly 9 sprites at once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4twUyt-MY

Hopefully.

Not that you are casting shade, but to clarify in defense of a former professor of mine who worked on the FPGA avionics at Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the helicopter was designed for 5 test flights, and completed 72 before the rotor damage. https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-perseverance/inge...

Here is a gift to you, I found this on the Internet Archive. it's a cassette dramataziation of Asteroids and Yar's Revenge. I'm not sure how many other people on earth would care fellow Atari-knower, but it's a wonderful little time capsule. https://archive.org/details/AtariSciFiAdventuresInSound

"Free" in English has more than one meaning. this has led to an attempt to be more clear by using 'libre' or 'gratis' loanwords to differentiate (see libreoffice, liberachat), but this isn't universally accepted.

Smoke Emitting Choke?

I really enjoyed this game when I played it at Ground Kontrol in 2015 and Two-Bit Circus in 2019(?). Neat data project. I'm kinda surprised they don't add something like Stern Insider app or swipe cards to it, but it's very 80s arcadey.
