Actually I'm probably confusing WY-50 with VT-52?

Termcap much friendlier to the curious than terminfo... Just page through /etc/termcap to discover why the designers of the Wyse-52 "deserve to be flayed and boiled in oil"...

For its centenary year's final issue, NZ's oldest student magazine profiles its oldest living editor, the inspirational Paul Oestreicher. Originally meant for the centenary issue, the story was held over because it 'deserved the time to write it properly'. They did. www.critic.co.nz/features/art...
Critic’s Oldest Living Editor: Paul Oestreicher
Long before he was a peace campaigner, a priest, or a friend of Desmond Tutu, Paul Oestreicher was an enemy alien. His family had fled fascism, seeking refuge in Dunedin – a city that offered safety, ...

I remember my mind boggling at its entry in the UK album top 50 - "weeks in chart: 350" or something like that. But yeah, '70s *everyone* had the S&G somewhere in their record collection, and '80s it was that.

That album is our generation's "Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits"

Love it. Always like a bit of melancholy. And by now it gets nostalgia too...

How about if I start with Lou Reed, "Disco Mystic"...

I do think a song that you really like that will make everyone else go "oh hell no" would be more revealing...

I feel like Brian Cox negligently failed to science the fuck out of that one.

Plenty here in Dunedin. Rest of you need real local media rather than wannabe national media.

the Prussian police reports on Karl Marx from 1853 prove that leftists have always had immense Disco Elysium dirtbag energy.
A portrait of Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium as Karl Marx. Excerpts from the 1853 Prussian Secret Police Report on Karl Marx are quoted. They all kind of read like fucked up Pokédex entries: 1. "In private life Marx is an extremely disorderly, cynical human being, and a bad host. He leads the existence of a real Bohemian intellectual." 2. "His large piercing fiery eyes have something demonically sinister about them. However, one can tell at first glance he is a man of genius and energy." 3. "Washing, grooming and changing his linen are things he does rarely, and he likes to get drunk." 4. "He is idle for days on end, but he will work night and day with tireless endurance when he has a great deal of work to do." 5. "He often stays up all night, and then lies down fully clothed on the sofa at midday and sleeps till evening, untroubled by the comings and goings of the whole world." - Prussian Police Report on Karl Marx, 1853

And fruit, berries, jam either mixed in or in a layer, as desired.

Very different to flapjack, sorry. Lots of different flapjack recipes, but:
500g butter, 500g soft brown sugar, melt together in a pan. When all melted, take off the heat, add 1 tin condensed milk and stir. Add the result to 1kg rolled oats and stir thoroughly. Tip into a tray, bake @170C 15-20m.

Shame that those doing the firing are apparently acting criminally in doing that during shutdown.

Yeah, not sure about the Future Dunedin lot. Definitely not nutters like some, and it clearly helps to "have a posse", but unimpressed by Bex Twemlow in particular, and as she seemed to be the ringleader there, dubious about them all. Shame Paul Pope didn't do better.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.
