So that's two Representatives the Democrats have lost in a week and Swalwell last week. If they didn't keep losing Representatives this way they could have a majority before November

Gemini is being used in a lot of US schools and colleges where they’re using Google tools because it’s cheaper than Microsoft

I give up, what is it ?

Funny to think Acorn were sitting on a chip that was going to be so important for a market that was yet to exist

One of the weird things of living in Orange County (the OC) is that you’ll be watch a film and say “That’s our Post Mates Driver”

Always found Gods to be a little too hard, but Speed Ball was great. I was at boarding school at the time and we’d have tournaments. Many “debates” on the superiority of ST or Amiga

Yes I’m thinking “are we going to get this advert at the beginning of every show until December?”

Memetic is “the study of memes”

“Friday night they’ll be dressed to kill at Gino’s Bar and Grill” are lyrics from Thin Lizzy’s “Boys are back in town”

CP/M on the ST seems to have been a big story, was the National crying out for the ability to do “PIP filename.old filename.txt” ?

Just amazed that none of these people back up their IPhones. I’ve been through several phones and never lost any messages

Sorry my bookshelf only allows Region 1 books. I keep intending to have it hacked but haven’t got round to it

Two stories about Prestel hacks, unless you had a database of Prestel users just phoning up to find account details must be a veritable needle in a haystack

Look for rooms/apartments let privately. A lot of times they don’t do credit checks and may rely on references

You also buy all their DIY abilities. He was supposed to be a carpenter by trade but none of his cupboard doors in his shelving unit close properly

Yes “Memories of this day in 2023”, yes that’s my Mother’s funeral 😀

Reminds me of one year of little travel, Google Maps “unwrapped” gave me a highlight of “places visited” was the Panera Bread just down the road from me

Yeah that unfortunately is true

Morocco? I went about 12 years ago and I’ve always been intending to go again

Was this going to be the Amiga 500? I really wanted one but could never justify an A1000 to my parents regardless of how many spinning balls would be put on the screen

Great excitement the day Keith Chegwin came to town to host his OB of swap shop

Getting into CP/M just as MSDOS was starting to dominate was an “interesting” move, they could have gone for one of the many Unix variants like BSD

Looking at job resumes 99% are written by AI, a human written one stands out, they’re processed and short listed by AI

Processing Payroll, Medical Claims, Insurance Claims gone

Unfortunately this is true, I can compile a week’s worth of reporting in less than a day. If my bosses figure out they can give the AI the request they give to me then that job is gone

Which is great because it’s pretty boring but you would be horrified to see how quick it progressed in a year

The US version used to have the entire Paramount + associated studios catalogue of 1930s -50s films , a lot of cowboy films featuring Roy Rodgers and Gene Autry but they were enjoyable

Digital Receivers are my way round this, mine gives me an extra 4 HDMI ports

Check out the Harley Quinn animated show then the spinoff “Kite Man” I’ve never been able to see Bane the same again

“Porkules” turning Kevin Sorbo into a pig for several episodes while he was recovering from injuries during filming “Hercules” . Now they’d just put production on hold for a few months

Ah, I remember flying the cheese
