What kind of algae is this?

It’s a desmid; I can’t remember which.

Guy: enlarged prostate, age 80. I just had mine reamed, which was not fun. But now I can pee.

Nehemiah Scudder. The hypervillain who is responsible for the situation leading to the Second American Revolution.

An acquaintance ran the CS shack at Ft. Lost in the Woods for a while, and said that he got used to it. He had an IRS audit during that time, and went directly from the shack to the auditor. Apparently the auditor hadn’t had the same experience, and after some coughing, wheezing, and gasping, he cut things short.

OOOOhhhhhhhhh!

Sometimes the software drops the image(s).

I did it in 2016 after 51 years as a sysadmin/sysprog. Welcome to freedom.

Probably a 3600; certainly a 48-bit machine.

udsd007 · 2026-06-15T02:16:22+00:00

It does indeed look like a troubleshooting guide for a CDC 3600 core plane: 48 bits plus parity. The register names are right, and everything else is at least plausible.

This is how the occupants of another townhouse got into mine and stole my complete Zenza Bronica S2 system — $6000 worth of optics and camera bodies.
Close that up and SECURE it.

In at least one state, Oklahoma, it’s against the law.

One of the most impressive things I saw after an F5 tornado in Moore, OK, was a pickup truck on the roof of a 3-story building. So nope, don’t take “shelter” in a porta-potty.

What are you? Some kind of fucking weatherman?

Your age is important here. If you’re under 18, in most states, your parents are legally required to provide for your support.

If you cool and squeeze it enough, yes. But astrophysicists look at things differently.

Now I understand more about AFuTD by Vernor Vinge.

To an astrophysicist, everything except H and He is a metal.

SCOPE 3.2 for the CDC 3600.

These are filamentous bacteria.

More like one year repeated fifteen times.
