I think the first one I used, on loan over the summer from the college of FE that my Mum worked at, was an Intertec Superbrain. If not that then something from that era with a monitor and twin floppies all in one.

The first one I owned was a Sinclair ZX81, then a C64 shortly after it halved in price, then an Amiga. Coded the heck out of the 81 and 64 but not much on the Amiga. I remember trying out a C compiler on the C64 but there was so much disk swapping involved that it was just ridiculous and I gave up.

I don’t see the point. Even on my monster screen they’re only 6mm² so if it’s anything other than simple line art it’s just a small meaningless square of digital noise.

I AM NOT A ROBOT.

I CAN PROVE IT.

WOULD A ROBOT PRETENDING TO BE A HUMAN INTENTIONALLY DROP THEIR CONN%~~~~~~#!!! No Carrier

If “basic human needs” includes a full working set of fingers, all ten, because then I get them back.

My meter is about six inches by three (from memory). It measures voltage (both AC and DC) and current.

I’ve only seen one so far (twice) - My Neighbour Totoro, so it’ll have to be that one for now.

Ecclesiastes is a good read. I found “Everything is meaningless” to be very liberating. The book does go on to say what is good: to love God of course, but also to eat, drink and enjoy your work. But the whole thing is worth a read.

Curry.

The guy who’s already two thirds pope. Popeye of course! Popeye for Popey!

Ivan the Terrible didn’t get to play that killer chess move he’d been working on for years.

I have four and so does my wife! English, French, German, Spanish/Russian (learnt before it was uncool).

Edit: I remembered I can do Dutch as well. So 5 for me, 4 for her. I could only remember 4 and 5 in Latin, had to look the rest up.

I think Trump will dump and pump repeatedly until he’s stopped. Him and his billionaire bum chums will be absolutely raking it in.

Limited joint range. I just thought that’s as far as they went. It still freaks me out slightly when I see people using a normal range, as if they’d just turned their heads through 360° or bent their knees the wrong way.

Two. The first is that I can make traffic lights turn green within 5 seconds of putting the car in Park.

Secondly and perhaps more usefully, there’s a computer Problem Exclusion Zone around me. I can just stand next to a misbehaving computer, not looking at the screen and with my hands in my pockets, and it’ll start working properly.

None, because I don’t live in a country with an orange moron at the helm.
