Yea, that Clie (thanks for reminding me of the spelling btw) was great. It had a decent lithium battery (palms had alkaline batteries ant the time) and fit in my pocket as well as the early iPhones.
I ended up using the dock from the old Palm Pilot with a usb cord grafted on the end to download images from those ‘one time use’ digital cameras from Ritz.
Palm and Windows CE was it?
I actually had a palm pilot, then a Sony Clio for reading RSS feeds on the subway commute in the very early 2000s.
I used a Symbian phone to find a cafe in Providence once while working there in winter 2005/6 or so. And got charged like $2 from Cingular for loading one yelp page listing. I was so cold, and had to shit so bad I didn’t care.
This dude’s never heard of Symbian or Blackberry I guess. Or Sony Ericsson and Nokia N*** phones.
I miss shitty_watercolor. This AI slop just isn’t as effective.
Those were the performa/CD Macs and they were terrible we’d had an Apple 2e and upgraded to the Mac in the mid 90s. The whole system would basically pause if you held down the mouse button, including audio recording if I remember correctly.
They made me build a PC when I graduated high school, but I eventually went back to Macs when it was better for my career in design.
It was also the beginning of the “better living through chemicals” era. Which I kinda think was a backlash to the prohibition of the 30s, just delayed by WW2 a bit.
Also drug company capitalism though.
Edited for grammar.
that also makes the blade facing the right way, assuming the cut with the lower half.
Yeah I suspect it’s shaped location, but also if you’re used to milk being cold, it’s the place you’re going to look, and it’s going right in your fridge when you get home.
They put ultra pasteurized milk in the same cooler as regular milk in my neck of the woods. Same for egg nog.
That’s the temporary shed while they rigged it to be hoisted up the tower where it was detonated. You can see the pulley block attached to the top. Anything in that spot would have been temporary, whether they dismantled it or not, so wasting resources on a “better” structure would be silly.
It’s in the desert, so a shelter was probably necessary to keep things cooler and a bit cleaner.
When “everything is AI now” and your motion board/investors are watching nvidia nearing 1T, then they want you in the GPU business.
And now we’re back to the public companies are terrible at innovation argument. If the line can only go up, you can’t take risks and you have to hurt people to continue at some point.
Anyone who saw Mac at the time would know what pretty was for interfaces. Windows has never been pretty.
It’s fake, and a joke, but based on a real tweet the Intel CEO made when their stock crashed too.
Yeah whenever I need lumber I plan to set aside at least half an hour to dig through the piles to find OK boards.
That’s not from shrinkage (well the 1/16 might be, especially newer fast heated junk at the Homely Despot). It’s from when they mill the rough sawn 2x4 down to “finished size”. You can buy actual 2x4s, but they won’t have the nice planned surfaces or beveled edges.
I’m not wondering why it’s that sized, I’m annoyed why they insist on calling both rough saw and finished items 2x4s.
And I also forgot about the Mainers and their two-by-faws
What’s even more annoying is that a 2x4 (pronounced two-by-four) isn’t 2 by 4 inches. It’s 1.5 x 3.5 (sometimes even a 1/16 under).
It’s all because of some unfinished lumber bullshit, but it’s still not as confusing as pipe and hose fitting sizing at least.
Here’s a bunch of better examples (it’s a 1 minute video).
Especially if you’re a tree.
I’m gonna call my axe a treeotine from now on btw.
