Biden announced he was dropping out on National Ice Cream Day. He knew what he was doing.

I am now officially coconut-pilled.

One thing Linux culture gets right is its promiscuous approach to interoperability.

Maybe it's the nerd in me, but I still think handheld calculators are neat. www.makeuseof.com/handheld-cal...

Why I Still Use a Handheld Calculatorwww.makeuseof.com Every computer has a calculator, but is it as good as an authentic, physical device?

The National Christmas Tree Has Fallen

Gusty winds topple National Christmas Tree near the White House - WTOP Newswtop.com Winds on Tuesday toppled the National Christmas tree, but the National Park Service said, “the show must go on” for Thursday’s tree lighting.

This is a Danish hand build Z80 computer from 1978, initially it only ran the Danish programming language Comal, but later in CP/M Support was added 😎 ... Currently it's not working, but I think the restoration of this machine will be my winter project!
