Just be glad you did not have to use the actual modem commands to establish the connection.
ATDT - Attention There - Dial Tone And a few other obscure modem commands just to get the connection. And then ftp and other fun commands to get stuff. All of this was before Mosaic so way before Netscape - like 1992, And yep I guess I'm old...

Posted in another thread but the ending of Manhunter with Ina Gada DaVida - that song made it work
Pearl Harbor - of all movies but the scene where they are taking off for bombing Japan. can imagine it was possibly just that chaotic to laucnh hundreds of miles farther out. As a side not the word suicide mission is overused but not for Doolittle Raid - they took off knowing they didn't have enough fuel to make it and also not even knowing if their landing fields had been built. Luckily a tailwind got most of them to China

Louisville athletics seems all sorts of fucked up. Football, basketball, girls lacrosse. At least their cheer team maintains a wholesome image appropriate for university standards.
Have some rep for that cheer team post. You could make a case that this website wouldn't exist without it

Not going to defend 2.88 in that major but I will say it MIGHT be on 3.00 scale and not 4.00. I know my graduate school average was on 3.0.

First I would not get a Nato. Just a lot of extra strap that the kid has to mess with. I keep my Submariner on a cheap military grade strap that goes under both spring pins just like a Nato but also has a traditional buckle. Here is a link and thta website has other straps. However I don't know if they are still in business but you can see other straps
https://westcoastime.com/military-field.html
Another link with lots of straps - I have the Maratec Mil strap for my Sub. No idea of how good/bad the website is - found it with a search
https://countycomm.com/collections/watch-bands/products/maratac-mil-series-bands
As far as spring pins - have other Maratecs on a Seiko dive watch and stuff like that. No issues. The beauty of the under Nato or the mil strap is you can loose a spring pin and not the watch. Rolex claims their pins are better but who knows. Your main issue may be removing the old band or strap. I have a "classic" Sub so I have holes on the lugs for pushing the pins out. A lot of newer watches have "no holes" so you need a tool to get the pins out to take the old strap off. Looking at a picture of the Gizmo - no holes but I kinda think it may look good with a Maratec. The one issue that does occur to me is that the kid's wrist is small so you may have to trim any type of strap to get the holes to fit

IIRC Steve Spurrier thought his offense would take over the NFL also.

Is he also the first to win with 3 different caddies?
Guessing no. Before around 1980 they had to use Augusta caddies. Nicklaus won six and his son was on the bag for the last. I think Jack used the same caddy in the 70's but am guessing he probably won at least one in the 60's with a different caddy

Hoping he goes for the flower power "Mod Top"... Friend in high school had a yellow Cuda with the Mod Top. Very rare

Dumb question, but why do people put things of value in a storage unit and abandon them? I get it if it's loaded up with junk and you fall on tough times and just say screw it, but if it's something of value why wouldn't you get that out before you start skipping your 40 dollar rent. Not speaking to TO's case specifically, but just in general to the whole idea of storage auctions.
Guessing some of it is an older married person who wants to keep the partner from finding it. They store it away and suddenly die and no one knows about it so it gets auctioned

No argument on the cost but if you have a complicated prescription (-9 and astigmatism) then mail order is probably a crapshoot. I use progressive lenses since I need reading correction and those with a high index lens are the highest prices. I may try to get a mail order pair someday but have no idea where they will put the transition points without me sittting there. On the other hand I buy cheap readers on line for wearing with contacts

Know the feeling. In 2013 I did a reverse endo on Picnic - basically tried to pull the front up over something while going uphill and went backwards on a cedar tree and stump. Had a really nice slash across the kidney for a few weeks

Interesting vid about why we can't just rebuild the Rocketdyne F-1 engines from the Apollo era. And it's not because someone accidentally deleted the records while screwing around in Photoshop:
Will always remember growing up and NASA testing that engine. We lived about ten miles from the stand and it shook the house and windows like a large earthquake - plus a huge amount of noise came with it. You never knew when they would light on either.

I am in H-Ville this week for work. Fucker caused me all kinds of traffic issues this morning. I was trying to figure out why there were bomb sniffing dogs checking out cones in the construction zone this morning.
I went in before 6 and saw nothing.. Early bird avoids the mess

These are some pretty scary statements:
The nation had been shooting for a 2028 lunar touchdown, but "that's just not good enough," Pence said during the fifth meeting of the National Space Council (NSC), which he chairs. "We're better than that."
"Urgency must be our watchword,"
———+
Estimates I’ve seen say $120 billion to do it. NASA’s budget is what, $20 billion? And we aren’t even back to launching people into space on our own yet (later this year).
And there is so much institutional knowledge that’s been lost from folks retiring to being laid off from NASA, who came on in the 60s and 70s.
Paging @RamjetFDO
Living here in Huntsville and growing up with other rocket scientist kids - this is absolutely true and a shame. Most of the engineers from Saturn are long gone. Went to an estate sale last week just because it was one of the top German scientists and I wanted to see what was in his house. To echo ramjets comments - about 20 years ago IBM had a meeting at the space center and a veteran of Apollo and I were looking at the Saturn flight package that IBM built. Guy was part of it and told me it was interesting to work on something that if you screwed up would probably kill a group of astronauts.

Even Nixon tried to release his recordings as an edited transcript and Supreme Court said that wasn't going to fly. I don't remember him claiming executive privilege so it may not be a valid comparison.

Got a lead on a 1969 Coronet convertible, 383, automatic car, partially restored. Numbers matching drive train. Best part is, it's a triple black car, black top, black gut, in gloss black body. That's one of my bucket list cars but don't have that kinda of coin right now.
Was going to say that the coin on that is going to be huge. Any idea if it left the factory as triple black..

Looked up 76 relay team because of his age. Knew the lead off runner was 19 but the third runner was also around 20. USA won the gold with three of the four runners barely out of high school.

Fired up for the day after that. You don't know me because we didn't punt very much....
