Chuck Yeager is a total don.

There was a lovely little nod to the Right Stuff in ‘Captain Marvel’ where she is in the Blockbuster video rental store - she picks up a copy and looks at it.
Is BOSR still about? Haven’t seen or heard anything from him since before the demise of the old forum. His random stories, pearls of wisdom and leftfield view on things always went down well. Hope him and his family are doing ok anyway.
He liked a post of mine on insta yesterday, assume he’s safe.
I heard somewhere that the computer power calculating the first moon landing was about 100kb.
Pretty much. Your phone has a fuckton more computational power, but NASA’s guidance computer wasn’t likely to randomly crap out, hang or require a reboot after a background update.

And he’s off to play golf”
There’s a group skating the spot outside my window, and I’m trying to work and it’s actually a really annoying sound.

I love the sound of skateboarding - it’s like white noise for me.

Nothing was landed

I went on holiday to Sorrento with my family around 2004 and remember trying to bum slide down that rail after seeing the cover, Chroliver made it look so easy whereas I stacked it

Go there. I went to the Amalfi coast in the early 2000s. Such an amazing place.
