what

this is a different disk.

did two disks on my desk go bad at the same time? or is this USB drive A USELESS FAILURE?
ok I'm trying a third disk and if this fails this drive is going right in the lake
it wrote successfully! now I can install some MS-DOS 6.22
dang it. after all that time installing it, it can't boot.
it doesn't even fail to boot, it just hangs at boot

some stupid problem with partitioning/mbr, probably
yup. boot disk, fdisk /mbr, and now it boots fine.
now I can get some REAL work done.
god I love this ANSI art floppy disk
wait, you can't do that. that's illegal
this is not how Doom is supposed to run, man.
isn't this shit a 486? yeah, it's a 66mhz 486.
the fuck?
so why is it benchmarking like a fucking tandy 1000? an 16mhz 8086!
OK I fixed some bios settings and it's now as fast as a 25 mhz.
huh.
This cyrix really sucks, eh?
better? crappy, but better.
ok the chip is a Cx486SLC2.
That's really a 386... but it should be running at 50mhz. it definitely isn't.
So I can adjust the CPU speed by changing jumper 8... which isn't there. They hardwired it.
And JP9, which is also hardwired
JP10 isn't hardwired, thankfully.
so that means I can do 16mhz or 25 mhz.

and it's currently on 16mhz.

well, let's try 25mhz!
Better!
still not great, but it feels a little better.
I wonder if I could overclock this stupid 386. I could desolder that hardwired jumper and replace it with a real jumper...
this board is never gonna be fast, though.
it's got a 486-labeled 386 soldered to the board, and zero cache.
very very limited entry-level board, this.
ok maybe overclocking the 386 is a bad idea.
(I haven't done it yet, this is just how hot it gets at 25mhz)
It may also be the VGA card I'm using. It's an ATI mach32, which is designed for accelerated windows 3.1 use, it might be slow at mode X stuff
or mode Y. I forget which one Doom uses. I think it's Y

Everyone likes to forget this episode just because it's terrible, but we were really sleeping on inherent comedy in a unfreezing an investor 300 years in the future and having them discover we've transitioned to a moneyless post-scarcity utopia.


it's like a classic twilight zone episode.

in fact, it IS a twilight zone episode.
The Rip Van Winkle Caper, Season 2, episode 24.
Four criminals steal a million dollars of gold bars, then put themselves in suspended animation for a hundred years to hide from the law.

they wake up, then start killing each other from mistrust, then the last one dies in the desert, as he offers a gold bar to the driver of a passing car, asking for water and a ride into town

the confused driver walks back to his car with the bar, and his wife asks what the gold bar is.
he says something like "It's gold... they used to use this for money, before we figured out a way to manufacture it."
He tosses it away, and drives off.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
