Good point, and I didn't know that about NKJV. Very interesting.

Or if said static data is a huge data set and unwieldy to maintain.

Or if that data is copyrighted, but allows free usage of small selections.

> (not many people use NIV versions)

[citation needed]

NIV is always on the list of most popular bible versions, and is in heavy usage. KJV is by far the most popular, but NIV is still very popular.

NIV is a very popular version, and is copyrighted, as is NASB, ESV, etc.

I disagree. By not playing, you're protecting yourself from future retribution, deserved or (more commonly) not. And not being on social media - or more precisely, not posting on social media - doesn't mean you're out of touch or lacking in influence. Not by a long shot.

> impossible to use for anything meaningful

I would posit that our definition of 'meaningful' has dramatically changed since the C64 days. Nowadays, if you aren't doing it online or collaborating with someone, it's not considered 'meaningful.' Back in 1983, this was not the case.

I think a better comparison would be to do the things a C64 was good at on a modern computer with modern workflows, and see which is easier/faster/more satisfying. I'm talking word processing, gaming, printing, etc.

I bet the C64 wins.

(Side note: you can get that C64 online and onto IRC or a telnet-enabled BBS; there are plenty of products to do that)

Yep. I throw 30-40 year old lenses on my 10 year old E-PL1 and go out and just have fun with photography. I never worry about taking it out on the beach, or on a boat, or any other place that cameras die. If it dies...I just pick up another one cheaply and continue having fun, and because I'm not as concerned about it, I take it places and get shots that others don't.

It's like having a beat up old 4x4 pickup. It gets the job done, and if you bang it up a bit in the process...oh well.

Actually, this might be the time to pick up a fire-sale Olympus...

You're only hearing the transmissions they made (likely recorded via the ATC side). Any in-cockpit conversations/panic would not have been recorded, or at least not released.

Any news article that mentions the number of new positive cases without mentioning the number of new tests is doing it for the clicks. One is fairly useless without the other.

150 cases out of 150 tests? Yikes! 150 cases out of 150,000 tests? Yawn.

This article goes so far as to flirt with the testing numbers without actually siting them. I really don't see what's so hard for news outlets to throw the total number of tests alongside the total number of positive results.

Look on YouTube for folks flying something like a Kit Fox (start with Trent Palmer). You'll find some fun videos of some cool spots they land. Also, STOL drags are cool to watch.

Can I tell you what you didn't say? You didn't say the local item was cheaper. That's an important bit of your argument.
