Report: No "Global Warming" for 325 Months...

The 15C cost too much for me at the time! I did envy it, though, but by the time I could move up, the 28C hit the market and I went with it instead. I had it part of my senior year and then through grad school.

I didn't have the 15C in college. One Christmas my boss gave one to all the Engineers under him.

That's a good boss.

 

[jamil]

That's a good boss.

He was my first "real" boss after college and was a good role model mentor. The guy that took over after he moved on more than made up for it though. So I've had my share of dickhead bosses.

ETA: Though the calculators made most of us really like him, it was one of those budgetary things where he had money left at the end of the year and didn't want his budget to get trimmed the next year. So he spent it on calculators.

I never really had the opportunity to be a real life engineer.

The first HPs I got were 50th anniversary 32s, as a shareholder you had the option for two at $50 each. Wish Ruger would do something like that.

Makes me wish I could still do math and had a reason to do some calculations.

I hope they do toss someone in jail for being a denier. It's about time we put this bull **** on trial and expose it for what it really is.

I was a proud OCer of an SR56 until someone stole it from my locker during marching band practice. Yeah, I was just that kewl.

Did they get the belt case from you too?

Yes, the whole kit and caboodle.

Scopes all over again.

Well, not really. Human induced climate change is not a recognized religion. I'm betting it'd go the other way, complete with liberal judges, skewed data, non-science presentations, the works.

You need to check out ebay, I just found working 85 and 86 for $20 each. My anniversary 32 NIB was $400. You can set yourself up with a 41cx and all kinds of accessories fairly cheap.

The fact that they will never admit that they're practicing a religion doesn't mean that they don't, in fact, practice that religion. Because it's their religion.

I think I have one of those at home. I'll try to find it.

You, sir, are a nerd.

I should clarify; the ones I bought way back weren't that much, just the one on ebay. I think I was too tired to grammar.

Well they tried fiddled data, until we found out how fiddled they were, then computer models until we figured out how inadequate they were, corrupted the peer-review process until we called them on their shenanigans, used each other in a big circle jerk of appeal to authority until they've just about ruined our ability to trust scientists, now they're onto the predictable name calling stage. It saddens me.

A concerted, ongoing attempt to marginalize those those who have thrown the bullsh** flag is just so . . . tired.

Oh, they skipped right to the "name-calling phase" but nobody noticed because scientists do that to each other all the time. Now they're calling ALL of us names.
