@tomjennings I think that’s the exact wording they used

Since I was awakened by the Turquoise Alert, I was in my office editing podcasts, when a bunch of emergency vehicles approached.And then I heard what I've heard many times before outside of the city; A pack of #coyotes yipping and howling. They were clearly responding to the sirens.I ran outside and a pack of three were running down the street just outside my house. I shot a little video of them heading off.Never seen them this deep in the city before.https://youtu.be/U6em5rD5zpg

@tomjennings He stopped rising each night to feed on human blood.

@tomjennings I gotta say, I’m still pretty salty about the whole, “the only way you can fix a bent rear rim is to buy the entire wheel — tire, tube, rim, spokes, axel, motor, gear ring included.”

@tomjennings I hung onto the old one. It won’t help if I bend another rim, but at least I have a spare everything else.

@tomjennings Now, to their credit, when I was speaking with their customer service, and I just about shit a brick on the phone when they said my only option was an almost $700 rear wheel, the young lady contacted their parts department and got me the dimensions of the rim so that maybe I could find one elsewhere.I did. In China. And had it shipped over. Like $60 for the rim. $70 for the shipping. Right dimensions, and EBike rated. Different depth of the box section. Wasted money.

@tomjennings Ummm, no mine's a RadCity... but is the front rim the same as the back... ?probably? although the spoke lengths would be different.But now that you mention it, I might have been able to buy a front wheel assembly cheaper than the rear wheel and disassembled it for the rim.

@tomjennings I distinctly remember the first time I ever touched a PC with an HDD. Typed “DIR” and watched the contents scroll by so fast I almost couldn’t read it. I can’t remember how slow floppies were, but if I remember being amazed at that, then they must have been glacial.

@tomjennings Sounds like some of his lectures inside that concept, which may have derived from this SciAm article “Computer Software,” Scientific American, Vol. 251, No. 3, September 1984, pp. 53-59.Also possible video here: https://youtu.be/p2LZLYcu_JYNo luck at archive.org.

RE: https://prettyaweso.me/@chunshek/115792472824716087In the run up to my move to #taiwan I guess I’ll be posting more things about what’s happening there. In today’s post: Major earthquake near Yilan today. On the plus side: Capybaras!

@tomjennings I’ll be interested in reading your thoughts on CIX. I have zero first hand experience with the service itself, but I briefly knew Frank Thornley when he was in Arizona for a week or so.

@tomjennings I wasn't really in the game. I had my Fido BBS, and I had started doing some tech support work for Marv Carson who also had a Fido. Marv had gone to some Fido conference where he met you and also Frank Thornley. Some time in Sept. '86, Frank came to the US and visited Marv. He was thinking to expand CIX to the US. Marv was lining me up to get a job (I think) and asked me to help Frank. Then something went wrong with Sylvia's visa entering the US, and he had to leave.

@tomjennings Nothing really came of it, and I really only had some basic introduction to what CIX was. I gathered they were moving off Fido onto something proprietary (or licensed and customized).I never got a real opportunity to understand how it all worked.

@tomjennings I feel like the vandal should take stock of themselves and ask AITA?
