You could cook a turkey on the dash of the production version, this one could cook the driver.
I think he is operating under rodeo rules ... has to keep one hand in the air ...
And they don't roll away.
Wow, that was amazing ... thanks for the link!
So is he admitting ICE is made up of violent terrorists?
Oh good job! When I look back those were the enjoyable jobs, getting some archaic piece of equipment operational again. I once saved an instrument by using a 25 gauge needle for a chip leg. :-)
As the XT came to us via a medical instrument maker it is possible they modified the motherboard (They had people sitting around soldering circuit boards ... in the USA!). It also had a board in it with a whole bunch of RS-232 ports. It was an interesting box, wish I could have kept it.
Watch out for that lady back there, she's putting a penny on the track.
to double the amount of memory. My son was actually the one to get to play with old mainframes. He ran the local high school out of computer classes so they sent him to a local business to intern. Not long after the entire IT staff left and he became the IT lead.
The first computer I used was a CP/M machine running it's software off a 8" floppy drive (still have one of those floppy disks). It was connected to a pair of chemistry analyzers. I discovered I could get a floppy with Basic on it so I started teaching myself how to program. Made lots of little programs for the lab until we finally started getting PCs and professional software. Our first PC was an IBM XT with individual memory chips ... and the chips had chips piggybacked on top of them ...
And when it finally comes down (If it comes down) it will be 1c at a time.
That wasn't my trade, that was my summer job so I never got into CAD software except to play with the free versions.
That last desperate move was ... priceless!
I enjoyed using it. I think it was the Leroy that got me interested in calligraphy. I am envious of that set you have.
A Leroy! I used one to label bridge plans back around 1970.
Can ... can I do this in the US House? Please!
Oh man, thank you!
may you forever fit into your once a year suit.
Country boy meets his first goth.
Using his name and "miscalculation" in the same sentence made me think of Sir Terry Pratchett's trolls ... One, two, many.
Checking with DHS ... Yes, you are no longer American. Prepare to be deported to Africa. /s
Sometimes we don't need a big difference, sometimes a bunch of little differences will do.
They don't have any Asian carp in Asia? Or maybe this is why they evolved.
KIds? Ummm, yeah, kids.
As a lab tech I was once called into ER to draw some blood from a patient. Found this really big dude tied down to the bed (leather restraints) with at least 4 EMTs holding him down. When I touched his arm with the needle he just yanked up his arm breaking the restraint and sending an EMT flying over the bed. I was told he was on pcp.
"As soon as I pull out this wedgie."
To my admittedly untrained eye the dogs on the toppled sled look like sled dogs ... huskies or husky mixes. The dogs on the chase sled look like greyhounds. Didn't think greyhounds liked the cold.
And no air conditioning.
