They do not all behave the same. I have many of them that are supplied as a charging cable in small electronic devices. These ubiquitous USB-C cables will not perform a data connection with your phone. At all. I have to search for that one cable that I know works for data since it moves around the house.

This reminds me of the sketch in The Onion Movie where the masked gunman comes into the bank, but he doesn’t want money, he wants a job. So, they give him one. Worth the watch and hopefully this link works to see the full sketch:

Yah, you gotta pop that plastic bit out of the neck first. I don’t see this guy having the aptitude or even the skill to recognize that.

Himalayan Blackberry. An invasive for sure. Love the berry, but hate the plant as they spread very aggressively.

I’ll have you know that my friend at the ACME chocolate milk factory, Willie, swore to me that only brown cows can be used for production. He swore this over a stack of Spider-Man comics, so this is convincing and compelling evidence. Please retract your assertion good sir!!!

like chocolate milk doesn’t come from brown cows.
Wait…wut…???

I thought they could also see atmospheric composition as it passes in front of the star, no? Having that info and the data you’ve just mentioned they postulate if it’s habitable or not. Obviously not seeing any detail at all about land mass shapes, but perhaps composition? I’m not a spaceologist, so I’m only musing.
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 2 months ago:
Yes, you might get credit from a local shop if they’d known you or your family, but people generally lived within their means. Layaway was also a thing. I just don’t recall if we ever used that with appliances.

Yes. Same as Windows 3.1 running atop DOS. I would say it doesn’t truly qualify as an operating system because of its dependence on a parent OS. Perhaps it’s more of an operating environment.

It is so funny to hear about “critical” systems that run ancient OSes and I’ve supported my fair share of those environments. I did love AIX as well. Smitty (and F6) teaching me UNIX commands early in my career was a great help.
Was Rocket U2 still written in Pick Basic?

If it makes you feel any better the manuals had his name as Richard Pick.

I’ve administered this OS, which for us was used to develop images on plates for printing. It ran atop ATT UNIX and had to be “defragged” every now and again to regain contiguous space back. This process involved backing up the system to 250MB QIC tapes (twice for two sets of tapes), wiping the disks and then restoring the data from tape. This was an all-weekend process and really sucked if a tape broke, but that’s why there were two sets and scotch tape can work in a pinch when the other tape is bad.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 2 months ago:
I once met a hooker who said “I’ll do anything for 50 dollars”. I said “Paint my house.” I gave her a paint bucket and told her to start with the porch.
She came back about an hour later and said “All done!”.
I said, “Wow, that was fast.”
She said, “Yeah, I’m getting pretty good at this. Oh and by the way, that’s not a porch, it’s a Mercedes.”

“That dress does not make your ass look any different than it already is.”
You’d think a non-commital blank statement like that should work. It does not. One then must explain themselves. Night out: ruint.

- Comment on Administrative task management 3 months ago:
At a former job many years ago, we had an employee get super mad at his PC. He left and returned a short time later with a revolver that he unloaded on said PC. All six shots missed the critical components and it was still running despite the new cooling. Cops hauled him away whilst still frothing at the mouth about his PC.

Careful the next time the opportunity presents itself. The previous experience has little bearing on the next as you have no idea of the efficacy of the random edible.
