“Even without driving it, if you love cars you should get it. You’re not playing for soft-touch plastics or advanced driving aids. If anything, you’re paying for the absence of those things. The $50,000 is the cost for this car to exist at all. Toyota doesn’t have to do this and understands, reasonably, that for $50,000, most people would just buy the biggest Highlander or 4Runner they could afford. This car is not for those people. It’s for you. Or me.”

We can have a world of abundance for all now. We have the tools, techniques and technology. What we don't have is the politcal will. Politics have been completely taken over by the billionaires and their Republican Henchmen. They are working to ensure they can force artificial scarcity down our throats while they rack up more power and steal all the resources that really belong to us all.

Probably going to write the Tamagotchi in both BASIC and Lisp.
There is a lot of activity in retro computing lately. I daresay the biggest problem with the scene is the lack of anyone who is not an older dude.
There are, however, some important exceptions.
I really want to sit down and see exactly why it is that I love BASIC and Lisp so much. A lot of it has to do with their very simple syntax, but there is something powerful about both that I cannot yet quite express.

in reply to The Fool • • •A imagem é uma caricatura que retrata uma figura com cabelo loiro, vestindo um terno preto e gravata vermelha, em uma postura de agachamento. A figura tem uma expressão facial exagerada, com a boca aberta em um grito, e um diálogo em um balão de fala acima dela que diz "GRRR! WOOF! GRAUR!". Ao lado da figura, há um ícone de emoji de cocô sorridente. A imagem é assinada por "BRASIL247" e "ARERIR 2017" no canto inferior esquerdo. A imagem parece ser uma sátira política, com elementos humorísticos e caricaturais.
