    Purely delusional statement.

    Fixed it.

    Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth..

    Not exactly "recent."
    This was big news 10 years ago, but the scientists actually knew this going back more than 100 years.

    It’s worth noting for sure… so I’ll just add that something similar happened to my wife in Fresno, of all places.

    She was competing in an equestrian event and was parked at a hotel overnight in our almost 20 year old Mercedes-Benz.

    When she came out next morning, she found a note from a young rider from Palo Alto staying at the same hotel. She had backed into the car in a borrowed pickup truck and pushed it over the cement bump at the end of the space (the ubiquitous things that frequently delineate the end of a space).

    Her dad was a doctor from 🇫🇷 working in the 🇺🇸. He didn’t want to bother the owners of the truck his daughter had borrowed with an insurance claim so he asked us to get a couple of estimates for the repairs and sent us a check for $3,500.*

    Not everyone has lost all sense of decency and community spirit. I know I’ll do the same if I ever make a similar mistake.

    * (Bent trunk lid, damaged bumper cover, bent bodywork behind the bumper etc.)

    Way to once again try to make things all about you…
    I’ve been away for over a week, but this might be the stupidest post I’ve ever read

    Well Sir (or Madam, not trying to gender assign) I take umbrage
    (gawd I love that word)
    at the inference that that is the stupidest post you've ever read ! 😳

    For instance:
    "She was competing in an equestrian event and was parked at a hotel overnight in our almost 20 year old Mercedes-Benz"

    Now, a n'er do well would make some sort of untowards comment like
    "Oh, what size saddle does she wear ?" 🤔
    or
    certainly ungentlemanly inferences regarding parking at a hotel overnight
    "Why didn't she just get a room ?"

    As you can see, some of us Polkies are successful graduates of the "Mr Nightly 'Careful What You Say, That's My Wife !" graduate school.

    I'll now retire to my LazyBoy, saitisfied that, once again, I've been able to bring edification and edumacashun to the masses 🧐

    This year in April was the anniversary of IBM Mainframe - celebrating the memorable milestone of 60 years of existence and transformation.

    IBM System/360 Model 65 Mainframe Computer
    vgbuprsv7zw9.png
    The IBM System/360 was a groundbreaking family of mainframe computers announced on April 7, 1964. Designing the System/360 was an extremely risky "bet-the-company" project for IBM, costing over $5 billion. The platform was initially designed to serve the Apollo project, launched in 1961 by American President John Kennedy. The Apollo project carried out its great mission in 1969 when man set foot on the Moon for the first time. The S/360 was the protagonist of this project, from the construction of the aircraft to monitoring its entire trajectory, from launch to the return of the aircraft and astronauts to Earth.

    Although the project ran into severe problems, especially with the software, it was a huge success, one of the top three business accomplishments of all time.

    System/360 set the direction of the computer industry for decades and popularized features such as the byte, 32-bit words, microcode, and standardized interfaces. The S/360 architecture was so successful that it is still supported by IBM's z/Architecture mainframes.

    This is not funny, but is informative as it shows what a teenager thinks a 30 year old looks like.
