Tried editing it so it can show the tweet, but just to add… since Shad took over the team is 61-140 which is dead last in the NFL during this time.

Shad hires Doug- No now I got it right this time. 1 year early. Pure comedy.

The thing cost like 80 bucks at the time! Which to my poor [BLEEP] sounded extravagant. But it was the coolest calculator I'd ever seen. I think that's what the servers are running on...

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

I went to college back in the late 90s!!!! They were good calculators. They can't be using them in college, though? Are they for high school calculus?

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

My uncle was instrumental in the development of the TI-55. So much so that NASA hired him. My mom used to complain that she was paying for her son to learn what her brother helped develop.

I dunno, I know this is pretty silly but I some but not to me. I am seriously debating on not being a Jags fan anymore. The poor showing over the last 2 seasons has been the norm but and you can laugh if you want BUT I became a fan of this team when I was a kid. My dad wanted to get me into football but I didn't know the teams and I felt like I was behind everyone else trying to learn. When the Jags were announced my dad showed me 2 new teams coming into the league. I saw my chance to become a fan from the start rather than 50 years after the team became a team. I picked the Jags because of their colors and only because of their colors, I was just a kid after all.
Anyways the black and white uniforms are ugly and I'm pretty sure we've wore them 4 out of 5 weeks this year. The Jaguars are teal and should always have teal. So poor showing plus moving away from why I started watching them in the first place has me bummed, but I am loyal...ugh (10-13-2024, 06:18 PM)MIJagsFan Wrote: I dunno, I know this is pretty silly but I some but not to me.

It's crazy how much of the history of computer development isn't learned by lay people. My dad, rest is soul, talked to me for hours about how he developed the first computers using punch cards during my freshman calculus class. After I bought that TI-83 I was complaining about how hard it was to understand it's functions. He was a PhD in economics, and back in the 60s and even early 70s he was programming code with freaking punch cards in Bowling Greene and New Mexico. His advice was basically to quit my [BLEEP] about the calculator and just learn how to use it, which I eventually did. Once I figured out how to use it, the thing was truly amazing. The way you could zoom in and zoom out of different formulas was mesmerizing to me at the time. LOL, I miss him every day. He was a hard [BLEEP], but he always had such a great of way of explaining things to inspire me. I just hope my son can get that same thing from me. Sometimes I don't think I'm as good as he was. |
