I think I had top ranks for the K6-233 in the day. Ran all day at 250 (3x83) which was overall better than 262 (3.5x75). Couldn't quite boot at 292 (3.5x83) without a big Socket A heatsink strapped on.

Is it pronounced like the blood thinner/rat poison (warfarin)?

What's wrong with the Commonwealth of Independent States?

At this point Void feels like Slackware for the 21st century. It's comprehensive and less full of "modern linux" hairballs than some others, but they seem pretty good on package updates. I like it being non-systemd as a first class thing rather than trying to backport it on an uncooperative parent distro.

Cobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years.

If the 7-1-63 is a date stamp of original manufacture, it's gone through over 11 half-lives. There's less than .05% of the original flavour.

I don't know about the decay products, but I'd wonder how far we are from legitimately edible.

This is big "if we break your old toys, you'll HAVE to play with the new ones" energy.

Tell me when they port FVWM. Seriously. FvwmButtons-- a pretty trivial dock except it can swallow other windows-- seems like it would be out-of-bounds on Wayland unless it was owned by the compositor itself to access the other windows. I don't see any of the new taskbar-tools used with Wayland compositors offering similar functionality (I could be wrong) and that seems an amazing loss of feature parity.

I think it might be stock market floatation. Fiserv and Global Payments are processors, not card networks, for example.

Telling people to "give up hopes" is just a terrible word choice, even if the thing you're asking them to give up is solidly distasteful.

So many more positively phrased options-- "commit to peaceful nuclear programs", for example. We got a real wordsmith in here, boys. Better keep Smith AND Corona lubed up and ready.

The worst part is wasted opportunity. You had 5 years on the rest of the US EV market and a perception of having at least the best charging infrastructure. Valuable assets.

You spent 10 of those five years on a wankpanzer, FSD (Full Speed Direct-into-pedestrians), and a lorry nobody's seen, when you should have focusing for the day you're competing with the Electric Civic and Escalade coming down the pike.

What you should have done, while you had the tyrant's ear, was to pull a Dodge Colt/Geo Metro. Precision-craft some legal shell game setup that lets you import competent EVs and sell them as a "domestic brand" to bypass the residual "I don't want a Chinese car" attitudes and some tarriffs. Then you'd at least have a stream of desirable products goung forward instead of the current quirky-but-not-in-a-fun-way Tesla range.

I sort of wonder if the next generation will still romanticize Japan in quite the same way. We're past the peak trendy-products era of Weird Sony and the Toyota MR2, anime is no longer a secret exotic thing, and it feels like if you want "15 years ahead of us optimistic techno future", you could easily slide in Chongqing or Seoul instead of Tokyo.

 

Daiso had both alkaline and traditional carbon-zinc batteries in this size. I chose the latter because it's for a 1960s device and I think that was the default battery chemistry in the era, plus modern alkaline batteries seem very prone to leaking when left alone for 10 years.
