@rysiek ...There are stores in the US that don't take cash. Just plastic. I suppose it reduces the risk of Bushmaster-armed robbers confronting 18 year old 1st-job-ever clerks, and employer don't have to worry about people working for slave-wages getting 'sticky fingers'

@anarchistquotes Most Marxist-Leninists haven't even made it to the 20th century yet, no less the 21st. Troglodytes. Throwbacks. Marcuse-Deniers. MARCUSE DENIERS! 🤣Images: Fidel Castro's closing comments at OLAS 1967 gleaned from Abbie Hoffman's seminal "Revolution For The Hell Of It", aka how a good Jewish boy from Massachusetts became an Anarchist.

@Gargron Looks similar to archive.org's on-page player display. Looks good.

@thomasfuchs In the early 1970s I was working for Stanley Tool Eagle Square Plant Shaftbury Vt running a milling machine that put the chalk line groove in Cast Iron levels. SOMEONE (Not ME milled a pallet full of them with the groove on the wrong side so when you used the groove over a chalk line the bubble glass was upside down. The pallet sat covered with a Hold tag on it for a month, then they decided to sell it as a "Special", for extra $$$ 🤣 #CapitalismAnyQuestions

@thomasfuchs Years later I found myself working as a precision mechanical inspector at Seagate's machine shop in Watsonville California inspecting parts for disc drive motors. I don't know where to even start describing... But sometimes... quite often... I'm amazed their disc drives ever worked at all.

@thomasfuchs It sure isn't an ST-225! Unless it's still in the box. I failed EVERY laminated motor armature that ever sat on my table for paint contamination. They even tried the ultimate no-no... secretly passing them off to a selected inspector whose inspection career was BEER inspection at a brewery. When layoff time came.guess who went. Him or me, who was hired b/c I had done the finish assembly on their Hardinge lathe chucks at a Northfield Pecision back east. Me ofc. I was ready anyway.

@thomasfuchs Post-225 I THINK! Worked there 1991 - 94 or so. The 225 had stiction prob and you had to slap the XT like an old TV set out of syc to get it to spin up else you got a 'drive not found' error. A later model in a Tandy IBM compatible was built into the keyboard and vibrated so badly it would walk the keyboard off your desk. Some drives were shipped incomplete with electronic components missing. OEMs screaming for delivery... double letter blueprints. Tossed MilSpec 415D out the window

@thomasfuchs "Percussive Maintenance" I'll remember that! The 225 had enough torque when new, but as the bearings and shafts wore in... Did I mention there were "Engineers" there whose whole career was that specific Bearings and shafts etc Only the old-timers knew how the drives worked They'd get called in in a pinch. Strokes, freakouts, ensued. But they finally made the $$$ they were worth. Like the Y2K bugcprogrammers who worked for peanuts at a time no one thought they'd need four date fields

@coronavirus #CoronaVirus Panic Chronicles: From earlier today: "Before I finish posting this another pedestrian will have died due to "Roads" today bringing the total to 610. One every one minute and forty seconds, and it's highly unlikely to be due to their tripping and falling. Ban Motor Vehicles." The count is currently 695 dead people today due to cars. https://extranet.who.int/roadsafety/death-on-the-roads/#ticker/pedestrians

@abloo If you mean #ThoughtPolice FB doesn't allow linking to my tumblr claiming its "clickbait and/or fake news" either b/c I refer to some of it's pages repetitively... or they don't like my commentary b/c it's 99% MSM sourced info 🤣, so yeah, sure. https://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/
