TIL that someone made a installer for . (This is very much not a suggestion that you install Eudora, which AFAICT had its last official release in 2006.)

@vwbusguy good to know that, if I can't get Eudora running on the classic Macintosh I just picked up, I can run it on Ubuntu. Haha.

Just realised, it's been a couple of weeks and I haven't run "Hugo's Random Benchmark" on this M3 MacBook Pro yet!

2.6s - not bad. Can you do better?

@JoeRess Have any of your shows talked about the technical side of the UK ? Just hearing about this now because of the PBS series. I'd imagine others in the USA are just discovering it, too.

My son is playing Super Breakout on an 2600 in our living room right now and the arrhythmic bleep-bloop without any music background is starting to harm my sanity.

@vwbusguy great game. It has /a lot/ in common with the simple mobile games people today love. And where else do you get to use a paddle controller?!

@vwbusguy I mean, back surgery is expensive ... especially without a good PPO.

@vwbusguy IDK. Headstock droop on the SG and feedback on the 335? My personal issue with Gibson/Epi has always been the neck shape/fretboard scale. I just like more real estate, but I do have a P90 SG and a 335 in the closet.

@popey *the three pieces on the sandwich are the remainder. The majority of it was eaten before the sandwich was constructed. You know, for testing purposes and quality control.

Good morning. Today I learned about the Hall and Oates hotline. Called it, and it’s a rather neat retro service.

@popey seemingly double retro since it was built in 2011! Thanks for digits and a fun, crunchy flashback.

The launchpad was severely underengineered...flying chunks of concrete likely damaged the rocket itself and lots of ground equipment, sent debris onto the beach and into the nearby bird sanctuary.

I'd bet a lot of photographers also lost their gear set up for remote shots of the launch.

So irresponsible. This outcome was predictable but EM didn't want to spend the time or money to build a flame diverter & sound suppression system (water dump used at Kennedy).

@brianvastag I was on the Cape last summer and a few people were lamenting how Starship hadn't received clearance to launch from KSC yet. I'm glad takes safety and the environmental impacts more seriously than .
