    Going by social media, no one wants England to win the Euro 2020 final...

    I've got an ulcer on my gum, and I've just bit a sizeable chunk of my lip. 

    I don't think I'm going to get this script working though the Command Prompt. It's not the tool, it's the user. Taking in what to do is easy. It's the doing it, that isn't.

    Why?  You knew all along that it would happen, and you also knew it would come with some restrictions.

    ..yeah saw vids of flooding in the subways this morning. Didn't look good. 

    Always a concern when traveling through the Big Dig tunnel in Boston.  I look at the walls and sometime see some water dripping down.  I hate it when the traffic stops inside the tunnel!  Fortunately, I only go through the tunnel twice a year...on the way to vacation in New Hampshire, and on the way back home!

    Dana

    That building that collapsed in Surfside Florida had water dripping down through the structure and into the parking garage.  

    It was perfectly safe.  Well, until it wasn't anymore.

    When did Mark Twain had his computer?

    I'm glad you asked... 

    Mark Twain, also known as Samuel Langhorne Clemens, which was actually his real name, so technically, he was "also known as" Mark Twain. 
    Mark Twain got his first computer, an early wooden Tandy RECW000 built by The Rochester Electro-Computational Works in 1848, shortly before he got his first job as a printer's apprentice... back then this involved being hooked up to a steam computer and writing down on paper various images and words based on the complicated series of electric shocks one received from the computer.
    Throughout his life he owned many computers... But it should come as no surprise that Clemens was an early adopter of such technology given that he was a close friend of Nikola Tesla, the inventor of the robot Elon Musk, who would latter found the company named after Nikola Tesla's father, Milutin Tesla who was also an Eastern Orthodox priest, so technically his father was Father Tesla, which is irrelevant because either way they both had the same last name and Muskbot might just have been messing with people like when he smoke a ton of pot during a live interview about robots who run big companies.

    Twain was fascinated with science and scientific inquiry and he developed a close and lasting friendship with Tesla and the two spent much time together in his laboratory… Presumably none of which involved electrocuting elephants like Thomas Edison did with his friends. 
    In fact, Tesla even claimed Twain's stories helped him miraculously recover from an illness when he was living in Tomingaj, Croatia in 1874, and Twain's novel, "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" was inspired by one of Tesla's many time machines he had laying around his shop.

    So yes, unless I'm severely mistaken, Mark Twain's first computer was probably purchased around 1848 or so.

    Also, I could be blending in real facts with stuff that may not be entirely bound by factual anchors, but that's the fun part about history... discovering the truth!


     

    You do realize that once this gets out in the Internet, there are people who will believe everything you said, don't you?    laugh  Somone will fail a history exam as a result!  laugh

    Dana

    Mark Twain also went to the future and back again, and helped Captain Picard and his crew save earthlings' souls from becoming alien din-din.  Fact!  devil

    Thanks Koyoto Kid and Subtropic Pixel. Although the ship is not exactly the same,  it brings back memories of when  I served on a Coast Guard cutter escorting the tall ships from Bermuda to New York for the Worlds Fair and you could look out and see them against the sunset. Wow that was a long time ago,

    Are you talking about hardcopies of the drawings? 

    LOL, in drafting class in high school, we all carried those plastic tubes with our drawings rolled up in them.  The vellum was much too large a sheet to carry them any other way!

    yeah the hard copies.  hdq doesnt like to send the digital copies for some reason.  i'd love to scan em but the wide format scanner is like 3 grand.

    i'd like to get rid of that file cabinet.  it's behind me.  getting rid of it would give me room to setup a cart as a mobile workstation.  the techs are bad at telling me when they take parts, so i check the stockroom every couple weeks.  tho its their own fault if we run out of a part. i try to keep up the sparing levels.   i took my networking classes in 96-98.  now its mpls, dont recognise mpls parts.

    wish i'd taken cad classes  they gave me visio, which is what they use.  visio not 3d, shocking

    I hear you on that one.  I tried at each small company I worked at, to establish a parts room and a library.  Simple idea, find a book, or software CD or equipment part that you need in my well organized & labeled shelves and drawers and let me know what you took, and then bring it back and put it on my desk when you return it.  Never worked.  Then comes the day that somebody needs XYZ and the search begins because there ain't one in the library/parts room.angry  Nobody ever said thank you that all the documents/media/parts were organized and quickly findable until they wern't and then they made me go look for them.  That's why I seem so happy when I work only for myself.devil

    Well it's Sunday night.

    Even after all these years of retirement, I still get that feeling of Monday morning dread.

    That's all I have to say about that.

    Nope, no Monday morning dreads for me.  If it weren't for my daily-labeled pill box I wouldn't know which day it was.  Monday is finally the day when postal mail gets delivered again and there's always some desperately needed item that I've ordered, that should arrive on Friday but misses delivery and makes me wait 'till Monday.
