One of my friends had one and they always did the same. I don't think any computer has ever seen its power intentionally turned off as often as the Commodore 128.
First one I used was an Apple II at school. First I used outside of school was my buddy's Laser Apple II clone. First one I owned was an Atari XEGS, with the caveat that we didn't get the disk drive, so all programs had to be typed in when I wasn't playing Bug Zapper or Missile Command or failing to learn how to play Flight Simulator 2. Still learned a lot of Atari BASIC.
Eventually we got a Tandy RSX with DOS 5.0 and "Tandy Deskmate"
"Reasonableness" as the heading implies that they've been working on whether a word problem makes any sense at all. It's, perhaps ironically, an attempt to help them build critical thinking skills. Then, elementary school teachers are not all brilliant minds themselves, and even the ones who are incredibly gifted educators are overworked, and their schools are generally underfunded. You get a cheap resource, maybe even a free one, or one your former mentor threw together late one night three years ago, and you can end up with a sloppy question. If you yourself are having a bad moment, or are not particularly talented, or the kid is a known shitass, then yeah, you could overreact and respond like this.
Having just sat with my kid through a year of 5th grade math homework, it is completely plausible that this is a real quiz and a real response. Some of the question writing even in the professionally made materials is just not good, partly because it presumes a laser focus on a single "instructional variable," despite mandates to teach holistically.
My kiddo had a brief phase of watching these. They're quite bad, but when cheap CGI cartoons result in plasticky textures and unnatural movement, I have to admit that using it on Barbie of all things is low-key clever.
The old ZAZ movies were great because they knew to hang the constant gags on a plot that, threadbare as it was, made it a silly movie and not a tedious collection of parody sketches where the actors just don't bother changing costumes.
The very specific combination might not have been done, but full size PCBs are out there, especially as replacements for vintage boards. If you don't mind ISO and only a row of LEDs rather than per-key, there's THIS, which seems to have Bluetooth. They seem to have made some interesting choices with the numpad as well, which is for the most part NOT electrically distinct from the numrow.
There's also this collection, which might send you in the right direction. If you can do some coding in QMK/ZMK, you might be able to make one of the BLE enabled Pro Micro clones work.
Not immune, but let's say resistant. Due to federation, they couldn't lock down existing federated content; due to open source they couldn't lock down the user experience; and due to those two, nobody's going to offer them a check for a couple million dollars.
Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.
Yup. American Christmas lights basically ARE very thin extension cords with the bulbs (hopefully) wired in parallel. Back in the day they were pretty much all incandescent and in series, and a single burned out bulb meant everything went out and Junior got a joyous new holiday chore!
I have a third cousin (genealogy brings different sorts of "family" into your life) who lives in Vancouver. She is the sweetest old lady, feisty, active, and a little on the conservative side by BC standards. Whooo buddy she is heated about all this. She still likes me, and she adores my wife, but she is no fan of America these days and is not shy to Facebook the everliving fuck out of that fact. Can't say I disagree. :-)
I have heard there are ways to use these to back feed power from a generator into a house’s system, at least on one breaker, but by definition that bypasses the breaker panel, and the only safe way to use your generator for your house is with a proper cutover installed by an electrician. I can think of literally no other use for one of these cords, except maybe fixing your fuck up if you install Christmas lights backwards.
This, LOL. My credulity is inversely proportional to how badly I want to go on this trip.
