Here is some of the great stuff that the latest (first) SCANTASTIX batch has recovered: A thread.
The pamphlet and holder for the Pillsbury Eat Smart Nutrition Program. archive.org/details/stx_Pi… - we already have the program up and emulated here: archive.org/details/rf_03_… - but now you can see the packaging it came in. It's over 40 pages scanned!
Computer Programming In The Basic Language, by Jacobs/French/Moulds/Schuchman. A 1983 teacher's guide to how to teach BASIC, lives again. archive.org/details/stx_Co…
Edufun's GULP!! and Arrow Graphics now has a manual to accompany the program that we emulate. The manual is at archive.org/details/stx_Ed… and the game is at archive.org/details/090a_G….
Beat up to heck but still helpful, is this MultiScribe Word Processor manual and all 260+ pages of it, scanned and usable. archive.org/details/stx_Mu…
Like I said before, many more of these are coming, with your financial help. Visit the spreadsheet and throw in the bucks, please. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… - paypal.me/savetz is the donation link if you just want that.

Seconded... hey, do you know who has spent years and years and years trying to collect as many short urls as possible? Urlte.am.
Over the years we have discovered and rescued hundreds of URL shortening services that have gone off line. Hundreds.
Unless your use of URL shortening is accompanied by the long form in the metadata, or the short URL is to something on your own site, you are creating a one time cryptographic pad that won't last half a decade. Don't do it. period.

When you ship your new project
The first rule of Animation is that nobody who isn't doing animation realizes how much goes into doing animation
A really good example is South Park. They can do near-instant-seeming episodes, where they famously work on them on a Monday and have the finished show out on Wednesday - but they have this massive infrastructure/software base they've developed for 20 years to do it.

If you need me, I'll be at an 8-hour RAMBO Marathon at Alamo Drafthouse. Let's see what all the movies in order looks like.
I'll just theead this experience here. Now seeing the preroll where they show Rambo influences and ripoffs. See you after Rambo First Blood
Rambo: First Blood is a taut, action thriller about the pain of an unloved and unsupported vet.

Here's a fun shareware CD.
First of all, it's not fully shareware? I think?
The title game is Command Adventures Starship which is a neat game I've played (and done some reverse engineering of) but it also has 15 more games, right? Let's see what they are.
Those 15 games are Commander Keen 4, Commander Keen 4 CGA, Commander Keen Keen Dreams, Save Our Pizzas (A Skunny game), Orion Odyssey, NightrRiad, OilCap, Paganitzu 1, Pickle Wars, Rescue Rover, Rox, Mine Layer, Lamers, Monster Bash, and Moraff's Super Entrap
WHICH IS 14 GAMES: YOU'RE COUNTING COMMANDER KEEN 4 TWICE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE EGA/VGA VERSION AND THE SEPARATE CGA VERSION

It is often said that the "idea of India" is a British invention - a legacy of the Raj so to speak

While it is true that India was not politically unified for protracted periods prior to the Raj, it is worth examining if the "sacred geography" was conceived as a single unit
The answer is very much a resounding Yes.

One of the notable conceptions of "bhAratavarSha" as a distinct cultural entity is in the famous viShNu PurANa - Book II, Chapter III
The viShNu PurANa is one of the MahapurANas that dates back to the first half of the first millennium CE as per most scholars

It is a text of considerable antiquity - and one of the 3 primary sources of KrSNa lore with the other two being harivamSha and bhAgavata purANa

#Thread: Inspired by the CBP Facebook revelations, I decided to take a look at the OUN-B affiliated U.S. Organization for Defense of Four Freedoms of Ukraine (ODFFU) Facebook group, which includes 610 people. In no particular order, here are some profiles that stuck out to me:
Dmytro Zhmailo, spokesman/executive director of Free People, member of Youth Nationalist Congress (MNK), and senior staff for Ukrainian MP Oleh Medunytsia, who himself chaired MNK 2002-2006. Among others, Zhmailo is FB friends with CUN leader S.Bratsiun.
Pavlo Podobied, head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance's Department for the Preservation of Places of Memory, according to Newsweek, has "accused Jews of being the main perpetrators of Soviet crimes against Ukrainians in the 1920s and 1930s." (1/2)

<Thread, Part 1> It is widely held that the grave inscription of Rabab-īl son of Hōfīʿamm from #Qaryat_Al_Fāw is the oldest #Arabic inscription in the Arabian Peninsula. I’ve called this classification simplistic. Let’s discuss why.
Qaryat al-Fāw, also known as Qaryāt ḏāt Kahlim ‘the town of Kahl’, was the capital of Kindah, located in SW Saudi Arabia. The oasis was on a major trading route and was multilingual and multiethnic. Sabaic and Minaic inscriptions make up the bulk.
And Hellenistic influences are obvious.

Saturday is a good day for #Zionism studies ( and related topics ) with Michael Collins Piper archive.org/details/the-pi… How does " they will make you beg for a police state " grab you? Mike mentions this in Entry #9 where a guest heard the prediction 3 decades prior. 👮🐵🍻
Carrying on with entry #10 - Feb 14, 2006 ❤ Victor Thorn chimes in here via ☎ Victor died young in 2016, not long after this interview with Texe Marrs. He had written a book about Hillary Clinton called " Crowning Clinton " Interesting listen. 🎧💁🙊🍻
Listening to entry #13 of Mike's radio shows. Mike is dead as you know. This is very relaxing radio for me, much like watching goldfish doing their thing. Part of the attractiveness of the show is Mike's call in listerners. These are serious students of history & Zionism, etc 🍻

Gemalto has apologised for publishing erroneous report on Aadhaar data breach. But why would a world class firm mislead the people of India? What has Gemalto to gain from it? Does Gemalto has stakes in #Aadhaar? Lets see which journalist has the courage to report this.
To understand whats really going on you must first know the background of Gemalto and where it comes from, that would bring things into clear perspective. Then we would address the Aadhaar issue and how the People of India is being mislead by UIDAI.

Neville Pattinson Vice President, Government affairs at Gemalto is board member of Smart Card Alliance a RFID industry group, also serving US Department of Homeland Security's Data Privacy & Integrity Advisory Committee - inchanrge of various Govts biometric programs like Aadhaar
