Ugh, that gave me flashbacks to the most evil of slide rule devices: the circulat E6B flight computer

A photo of the front and back of the E6B flight computer - - analog circular slide rule devices that has been used to make all sorts of aviation calculations since the 1930’s, and still required for use in pilot license tests at least a few years ago

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. (It even costarred Luis Gosset Jr!)

Poster for the show The Powers of Matthew Star (1982): a white guy with shaggy 70’s hair in a tight white futuristic suit holds a grappling hook weapon-type thing

This popped immediately into my head though

Quick trip to Eugene over the weekend - wouldn’t be complete without sneaking in a quick few miles along the Willamette River on Pre’s trail #trailrunning #TrackTown

A brown wood-chipped trail bends through green trees and green grass under a cloudy sky. Green sign in the foreground says in part “Pre’s Running Trail”

Green grass and trees with the Willamette River on the left and a paved trail on the right. It goes for miles. Eugene is great.

A thread about sketchy airports, in part Jessica submits Denver, Jerry mentions they have a menacing horse, and I, in true midposter fashion, concur with the gritty details

Now you’ve got me thinking about Paul Kirchner’s “The Bus” strip:

The surreal 6 panel comic strip The Bus by Paul Kirchner: in this one a balding man sits on a bus reading a newspaper, when a passenger dressed as a military parachutist rings for a stop. The door opens to sky, and he jumps out. The next passenger to ring for a stop is in deep sea diving gear.

Sadly relevant, still:

An ibm slide from 1979 which says in black text on white background “a computer can never be held accountable therefore a computer must never make a management decision”
