If the vendor is kswichit then I believe it is produced by Wichit Sirichote himself. I purchased a 6502 constructed board on eBay a couple of years ago, then followed up by purchasing four more directly from Sirichote himself. I used the bo

If you have an admission process based on a standardized test and everyone named "Smith" decides to game the system by prepping heavily for the test then you will have a lot of students named "Smith" in your school. The

Once I realized that solving in one guess or two doesn't take any particular skill, I began to wonder what "winning" Wordle really means. It's a game that you play for fun. If folks want to analyze the dictionaries to de

For those of you playing along at home, the phrase: “At this point, I am highly confident we will get to orbit this year,” is a special thing that Musk says when development is taking longer than expected. Historically, everything that Musk

I quit my job and did something different. Almost 60 now and I'm about to do it again. Don't regret the mistakes you made in the past. Go out and make some new ones while there's still time left. Oh.. and one of my best job c

My understanding is that the newer residential super-slender residential towers in New York are largely unoccupied, even though their units have been sold. Buyers are using them as investments. These particular towers are the architectural

I think your take is fine, but it's a far cry from saying we're spending the day at the 15 minute limit for CO2 concentration. The classroom I teach in easily hits the 1000 ppm level (I measured it at the start of the 2020-21 scho

As someone who wears a kn95 mask all day I think the results of linked study should be taken with a grain of salt. The CO2 concentrations they measured with conventional masks are effectively similar to the concentrations in exhaled air, wh

I taught high school remotely in the spring of 2020 and I thought it was wonderful. Medical professionals reported a large uptick in mental health issues for teens and consequently our district will probably never close like that again (but

The rangefinder idea seems interesting, but I think it would be easily refuted if the extant dodecahedrons weren't all geometrically similar. With that in mind, I did a brief hunt for an exhaustive listing of dodecahedron dimensions bu

All this effort to avoid the collapse of human civilization seems misplaced. Protecting humanity from calamity is only necessary if humanity serves a purpose. Would you back up computer data that is of no use to anyone? Of course not. The f

Elon is able to develop these things because he is using his own money. In the US at least, Congress, the media, and the public would never allow NASA to use public money to blow up a series of rockets in pursuit of a working design. The re

I'm intrigued by the fact that parents didn't get involved. In the early 70s my brother's social studies teacher must have heard about this guy because he did a similar thing in his classroom. As I remember it my mother flipp

I bought one almost two years ago and sold it about a year later. I wanted to use it for doing math but the inability to see more than one page at a time while I was working made it painful. Ability to copy across pages would have also solv
