Yeah, CP/M is actually 1974, so that's not early enough for me. The PDP-11 is the one that most closely aligns with 1971. RSX-11 for those machines came out in 1972, with the PDP-11 in 1970.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh. I woke up at 1 (needed to pee, went back to sleep after) so I'm a bit tired. Also, Mr. S keeps putting ducks down my shirt.(Yes, the same ducks he was sucking on yesterday. He's sucking on them today as well.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ugh, the way people have been piling on more work while simultaneously delaying getting me what I need to *do* it in the lead-up to leaving on vacation, I'm torn between making a pinhole viewer for the eclipse or a black sword I can wave around while shouting "BLOOD AND SOULS FOR MY LORD ARIOCH!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I vote for the latter, Matt. Way more interesting. And memorable!*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If I have enough marker to make a sign for counter-protesting tomorrow, what should it say?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It sounds like the KKK was a no-show, and the counterprotesters had a dance party instead.
Because Durham! I love this region.

That would be a good one! But more elaborate than I can now deal with. I'm thinking just "RESIST."
