In 1977 Texas Instruments, a recent entry into the market, cut its price for LCD watches to under $10. As a vertically integrated company it could still make a profit - but few of its competitors could. The LCD market began to collapse...
In comparison Seiko had fully automated its watch production, diversified into quartz analogue as well as LCD digital, and continued to innovate with new watch features. In 1979 it bought the now-defunct Pulsar brand. LCD was king.
Throughout the 1980s both Casio and Seiko continued to make LCD watches smarter. In 1980 Casio launched the Game-10 which let you play space invaders, and the C-80 - a calculator watch with a keypad you could actually use!

The US hit back with its own innovation: the digital watch calculator. Pulsar and Hewlett-Packard released models with keypads so small you needed a stylus to operate them. In contrast the 1975 Uranus Calculator watch put its keypad on the bezel!
By 1976 the US had reached peak LCD: over 70 manufacturers were providing digital watches in a wide range of designs - some good, some not so great. But very soon the LCD bubble would burst - and price would be the pin that did it.9

In 1975 Seiko launched the 0634: the first digital quartz watch with a chronograph that could measure to a tenth of a second! Between them Seiko and Casio had honed in on the future of watches - digital gadgets!

Little known related fact: sleeping with the King’s wife or royal heir’s wife is a specified statutory form of treason, under the 14th century treason statute ....
/1

/2 ...two specified forms of treason — “levying war” and giving enemies “aid and comfort” — survive in the constitutional definition of treason. We ditched the other 10 or so statutory grounds.
/3 Anither fun fact-if you’ve heard something called “high treason,” that statute is where it came from. High treason was a violation of obligations to the king. Petty treason was other hierarchical violations like (seriously) a wife killing a husband.

I’d like to share a story about my friend Dee “Piston” Imlay, who died in the cockpit of his F-15E Strike Eagle during a deployment over 7 years ago.

It contains a cameo by Kelis’s #Milkshake—more on that soon.

A brief thread for #MemorialDayWeekend
I first met Piston in the F-15E fighter training unit at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC. It's where Strike Eagle fighter pilots and WSOs (back-seaters) go to learn to fly the jet.

We were in the same class, assigned to the 333d Fighter Squadron Lancers.

#MemorialDayWeekend
After the FTU, nearly half the class got stationed at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. Piston and I were among them. But we went to different squadrons.

I went to the 389th Fighter Squadron (Thunderbolts), and he went to the 391st (Bold Tigers).

VITAL UPDATE: my road runner porch-buddy used to run away if I wanted a pic but now when he catches a lizard he KNOCKS ON MY DOOR and then parades his catch around and poses, it’s amazing. Who’s a good boy! Mr Meepmeep! 😍
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: my friend the wildlife biologist who goes to actual bird conventions thinks this is courting behavior, he was like “sorry even the birds find you irresistible”, so will update, saw him shyly hopping around this morning but no pics
I mean, my roadrunner porch buddy was shyly hopping around, not the wildlife biologist, not sure what he’s up to, possibly similar but not on my porch

Born & raised in #Fanar #Lebanon, a tiny country in the middle east with a lot to offer. I always had a positive outlook on life maybe because of the culture or values🤷‍♀️.
If you don't know #Lebanon or a #lebanese then you should start mingling 🤣

I grew up surrounded by a loving, joking & tough type of family that always support each other even amidst fighting. You can imaging being 4 kids in different age groups can cause a lot of fights growing up 😂 #siblingsfight #family #VoicesIWS
@IWS_Network
I have my issues🤷‍♀️! I always wanted to prove myself & make my family proud(2nd child). A pressure that was just in my head; they were always proud of us. I wanted to grow up to be a doctor or an army officer like my dad. Let's just say I changed my mind! #VoicesIWS @IWS_Network

I block concern trolls. Don't bother trying to convince me Q isn't legit and nothing is happening. It only reveals your disingenuous nature & lack of critical thinking skills (or presence of deception, which is it?) If you can't see the show you need new eyes #ByePhoenicia #QAnon
It seems concern trolling contrary to ALL available evidence is the ONLY move these #Hivite losers have left

Doubt for doubt's sake is the ENEMY
Fear for fear's sake is the ENEMY

Logic & critical thinking are your friends
Don't feed the trolls

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

npr.org/sections/money…
When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
