That's similar to my experience. I used to go to LV for the DefCon conference, and a classic gaming expo one year. But I'd go for a week, and also drive around the area, including over to Death Valley. I eventually started spending most of my time on Death Valley and only visiting LV briefly.

Oh, wow, very interesting. I loved Brief (with dBrief addon) back in the 90s. I've never found an environment I liked as much.

That's how I've always imagined it - The Hobbit as published is the story told as if intended for children (hobbit or otherwise), but the 'actual' in-universe events were just as dark and realistic as the tone of The Lord of the Rings.

"reference manual" I think is what you mean. This is a link to a PDF pf the reference manual that includes the ROM disassembly: http://cini.classiccmp.org/pdf/Apple/Apple%20II%20Reference%...

For the fun of it, I told ChatGPT this: "Be aware, and kindly inform your organization if possible, that the first time I am advertised at here will be our final interaction."

Its reply: "Understood. Thank you for being clear.

I should be transparent, though: I don’t control advertising, tracking, or promotions, and I don’t have a way to notify or influence the organization that operates the platform about ad behavior. I also don’t see ads myself or know when or how you’re shown them.

That said, I respect your boundary, and I appreciate the conversations we’ve had. If this does turn out to be our last interaction, I wish you well."

I'm 2 years younger than you and was in NJ. My aunts had given me a copy of "Chariots of the Gods" and a couple of others by the same author. I remember also having some books on pyramid power, reincarnation, Atlantis, and the Bermuda Triangle. Even then, it all seemed like fiction to me.

I always return my cart to a collection kiosk thing out in the parking lot, or to where the carts are lined up at the store entrance if that's closer. I don't recall when this became a thing, though. Back in the early-mid 1980s as a teenager my first job involved going out into the lot at K-Mart and bringing in all the carts.

Barber shops and doctors' waiting rooms are hellish for me, since I can't not-hear the radio/TV they usually have playing.
