Because old people think all modern slang comes from rap.
A huge chunk of modern slang, most notably cool, hipster, dope, and sockdollager, came from Jazz which is like rap but only threatening if you were middle aged in the 1930s. So assuming that all slang was invented by black people sort of makes sense in doesn't make sense sort of way.

Hand writing code and then handing it over to some sort of specialized typist to turn it into punch cards is something my parents did in the seventies. I have no idea what happened at NASA, just want to say it's not some insane notion.

She was the team leader for it, which people on Imgur are actually holding against her because she didn't do everything entirely by herself. Because being a woman in a leadership position in a STEM field in the 60's was not a big deal at all.

There was a programme on Radio 4 recently about Lyon's Biscuits who actually invented one of the first computers that they used for ordering. They spoke to one of the creators of it, apparently a lot of the women helped develop it, they were chosen because they were fast typers and processors. eta_ Also because it was at such an early stage in Computer Technology that it hadn't become a male dominated industry)
You can (probably if you are in the UK) listen to it here, it was really interesting, I was sat in my car listening to it after I had parked up.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04m3ftg

quote:

Programme 1 - LEO the Lyons Computer

The first programme starts in the Piccadilly café which is still identifiable as the first Lyons Teashop ever opened, at the end of the 19th Century. It moves on to Hammersmith where a Lyons historian describes how the great Cadby Hall factory complex needed an army of clerks to run it. LEO veterans explain how the company that believed it could do anything decided to build a business computer, and did so with considerable success. A former Teashops manageress recalls what a difference it made to her work when all the daily orders were computerised. And one of the telephonists who typed her orders into LEO remembers the excitement of "feeding this marvellous machine". It was so successful that Lyons did jobs for other companies and the government, like working out the new tax tables on the night of the Chancellor's Budget. It also calculated the distance between every one of British Rail's 5000 stations and every other one. But the name died in the 60s, beaten by the perception that a catering company couldn't build computers, and the disorganisation of Britain's computer industry.

V Ha! I put a dash of ACV in my drink sometime. I find, weirdly, that it makes me feel a bit 'perkier' and with it.

It's probably apple cider vinegar. People think drinking that poo poo will cure everything and make you live forever. Although nowadays they insist it has to be organic and contain mother of the vinegar, etc. If you drink it and still have cancer or aids or evidence of aging, you just didn't drink the right kind. (the one they're selling)

This was my first assumption, because they have kept a gallon of apple cider vinegar in the fridge for a few years now (still fat, of course) but here's the magical recipe:

quote:

125 grams of horseradish
3 lemons (before you use them, you need to place them in a container filled with water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 10 minutes – to wash away the pesticides)
3 tablespoons of honey
Put the horseradish into a blender and blend well. Then, cut the lemons in slices (unpeeled), remove the lemon seeds and add them into the blender. Mix again until you get nice and homogenous mixture. Then, add the 3 tablespoons of honey and mix everything again.

Or from the shits. The best thing about these vile concoctions is that very very few people are gonna tolerate it for more than a few doses, so you give up or skip doses, in which case, the "you didn't do it right" clause comes into effect. It's such an easy scam.

The fact that people would rather listen to a three minute love song then a 10 minute guitar wank shouldn't be surprising. It's really some guy complaining that his niche likes aren't mainstream enough.

Yeah, that's really what it comes down to. Yeah, sure, some metal is "complicated" in a good way, but a lot of it is way, way too loving complicated, to the point that it's basically aurally garish. Like if paisley was a song. There's a point where layering things on top of things on top of things just because you can becomes self-defeating.

Amazing article. I think it's written by the perspective of some goofy demon colluding with Satan. Observe:

quote:

A word of caution here. Remember, the love of a husband can be dangerous to our cause. If he senses her unhappiness, he may begin to help or (even worse) show her affection. This is where previously planted seeds of resentment can be guided into full bloom. Make her think that his displays of affection are because he “only wants one thing”. Do not let her view his help with the dishes (or kisses or cuddling) as having pure motives. If he shows his desire for her, convince her that she is being used, not loved. As we both know, the ultimate Act of Marriage can bond them together in a way that can undo much hard work on our part. Because of this, do not allow her to prioritize that Act on her mental to-do-list. It is in our best interest to keep the wife busy, busy, busy and be sure she’s far too exhausted to consider it by the end of the evening.
