China calling Elon. Come in, Elon! :)

Just got an email from United. (They use Newark as a hub so they are at a big risk of cancellations) They say anyone can get a refund from them -- even people with bottom of the line economy tickets. They also say they don't plan on cancelling international flights. The most at risk for cancellations are domestic flights to a non hub city. Travel insurance should pay too but I'd much rather get it directly from the airline.

Brick and mortar stores are hard to come by these days. And they are infinitely more fun than online stores.

I shoot with Kodak T-MAX 400. Love the fine grain.

bah.

Let me know when they start making *autographic* 120 film again. I have the camera, and am dying to shoot a roll!

The last rolls were apparently made in 1932. The cameras had a flap that could flip up and allow writing directly onto the film with a stylus. When you see handwriting on an old picture print, it was likely shot on autographic.

[and, yes, in fact my autographic camera *does* have bellows!]

That Electrolux isn't really an Electrolux.

a couple of decades ago, in one of those weird corporate maneuvers, it sold the name, and now sells its vacuums under another name, while the buyer sells non-electrolux as Electrolux.

So what she knows of Electrolux from the late 20th and early 21st centuries no longer applies.

But, yes, they were very good and lasted forever. Also extremely pricey.

I did this as well with Windows 3.11, but it required using Stacker/DriveSpace (can't remember which) and also using XDF to increase the capacity of the disk from 1.44 MB to ~1.8 MB. The end result was bootable and it could load Program Manager.

try using mirrors. What could go wrong? :)

We had to have our entire roof reshingled after a particularly bad storm.

It turns out that of the various colors, the lightest (or 2?) was actually energy star rated. So we took it.

It turned out to be worth about 2F inside as compared to the prior black shingles.

We got another 2F when we replaced the swamp cooler--the newer model had an 18" pad instead of 12".

Between the roof and the bigger pads, we only had a single non-monsoon season day where we had to switch over to AC this summer--in Las Vegas!

(I'm going to miss the swamp cooler when we move, but they're apparently not allowed in new construction. I have no idea when the cutoff was)

Always interesting when someone answers a question that was never asked.

"We left command-line interfaces behind 40 years ago for a reason"

How did that work out for us? Take a look around. The whole world is a slow motion train wreck because of AI and iPhones.

Give me a pound of TARDmeat. Sliced thick.

Ok, so AOL is pulling another Amiga. Big deal.

What we all want to know is whether or not we'll soon be getting free coasters in the mail again!

What stocks should I invest in when we have 40 million starving angry people with nowhere to go in our country?

You say that like it isn't even worse than proprietary . . .
