Gender: Later, let's play Family Double Dare

Personally, I believe that "gender reveal" parties are BS, if nothing else then for being held between five & 50 years too early.

Genital development so powerful it burns down a forest. https://www.thedailybeast.com/border-patrol-agent-ordered-to-pay-dollar220k-after-starting-47000-acre-wildfire-at-gender-reveal-party

A forgotten masterpiece of a music video, now 38 years old and having aged magnificently, "Can You Feel It" by the Jackson 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nP4WE_-uqE

This is incredible. There's a CMD SuperCPU for sale on eBay right now. Bidding started at 99 cents, and it's now up over $2,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CMD-SuperCPU-Accelerator-Super-CPU-Creative-Micro-Designs-Commodore-64-128-C64/142951092910

The SuperCPU is a Commodore 64 accelerator in an oversize cartridge. To put the bids in perspective, from 1997 to 1999, CMD was selling them for $199 without RAM expansion (which this one seems to be) up to $379 with the maximum of 16 MB.

Voter registration deadlines are coming up rather quickly. If you think you're already registered to vote, double-check & make sure, because voter registration purges are actually happening.

If your response is, "If voting actually changed anything, they'd make it illegal," then everything every state has done since Shelby County v. Holder (gutting the VRA) should assure you: It does, & they are.

A link for context helps. :/ https://github.com/Microsoft/MS-DOS

But I thought 640K was enough for anyone! :V

Seriously, the MS-DOS pre-2.1 sources being in a repo is pretty nice.

The service manual also told me to remove screws hidden by the DVD drive, with detailed illustrations, but without telling me to remove the DVD drive first.

I got this manual directly from HP themselves, and now I'm doubting its accuracy.

The removal of really tiny screws should not involve the use of really hefty pliers. Who designs these things?
