Clapped out

Yes indeed ! Ours was an early DEC 20 ....think there was a problem fitting a 10 into the prefab and keeping it cool. Problem went away with a 20 and local DEC guys got some sort of ( 2nd had ? deal from Maynard ). Mostly interactive ? well yes! up to then it was 99% batch punchcard jobs on the 360 Accoustic coupler even ! You said it 🙂

Ahhh! so you ARE my generation after all 🙂 "..such as via the DEC 10 " And maybe my year ( or there about ) 🙂 🙂 ( Posted as an engineer ..... lets sweep the maths degree under the carpet )

Does this mean you went through 70's schooling ? Could you really be THAT young ?

Ouff! t'was mucho dinero back then

Dear Gamma, I happily used RPN for many years.....Why ? 'cause there was a time when a programming language called Forth ( a.k.a. FORTH ) was pretty darned well perfect for what I needed. Native Forth relied / required RPN See more about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language) While not as super slick as some of what is around today it was pretty darned good for the time. I have a recollection of a number of neat systems fitting easily in 32kb (ytes) with another 32kb for HD sector buffering ( you might be wondering about "kb". That means "kilo bytes". Its around one thousandth of a megabyte or one millionth of a gigabyte ). I dont do any of that now..... 'cause these days I'm just a tired old fool Y'all be good 🙂

Yup, I'd go with that as the first port of call Years ago we relied on a pump like that and every couple of months we had to bleed it

Here ( on the other side of the world ) I use diluted 10% vinegar ( roughly 15 parts water to one part vinegar ). 'tis grand altogether just dont be in a rush. Been doing it for years,

These 'cannabis shops' aren't really. They are a front for old fashioned fish & chip shops that the Brit government subsidizes. To avoid drawing attention and possible investigation they just say that they sell cannabis. If you insist on buying cannabis in one of these shops it will be expensive as they have to run down the street to buy your order and that takes time ( and they have to pay street rates 😞)

There is an all Ireland ( i.e. North & South ) charity that repatriates Irish people who have expired while abroad. ( https://kbrtrust.com/ ) I suspect that this charity will benefit from the over donation.

Only a youth then KhunBENQ. . . . Only a youth

Whats happened y'all in the United States that you dont have people in their 40's & 50's up for the POTUS job ?

Air Travel..........Well its darned well safer than drinking in a bar

Over at https://marriagesabroad.dfa.ie/finprod/fmr301.xsp?t=1735236799610 a pop-up with a number of points appears. One of the points concerns Thailand "Getting married in Thailand Please note that if you getting married in Thailand, you should make direct contact with the Irish Embassy in Thailand or the Honorary Consulate in Phuket. Contact details for the Embassy in Thailand and the Consulate in Phuket can be found here https://www.dfa.ie/embassies/irish-embassies-abroad/asia-and-oceania/thailand/" Is this relevant in your case ? ( Looks like it was addded in 2022...........so might be changed since :( ) FWIW I'd try to establish voice contact with someone in either The Embassy or Consulate

Maybe trying asking on Boards.ie

Whats with the extreme age of U.S Presidents these days ? ( both JB & DT @80 give or take ) JFK was in his 40s LBJ ( who seemed ancient when he appeared ) was in his 50s Does the U.S. of A. really not have people in their 40's or 50's suitable for the position ?
