Dragon 32, if I recall correctly.

Mostly try to learn some basic (probably was too young for that), play some games, and try to get the cassette to work. It almost certainly wasn't the right computer for a kid my age.

Later, if I recall correctly, some model of Atari ST, which again was mostly wasted, though it introduced me to graphics editing, and some 16MHz (with turbo on!) 286 computer with a 65MB hard drive and CGA graphics (later upgraded to EGA and eventually VGA, though that might have been with a later 486), which introduced me to DOS (and extended and expanded memory), WordStar, dBASE 3, Lotus123, LucasArts and Sierra adventures, Wing Commander, a multitude of CRPGs, and eventually Windows 3.x.

I didn't really get online until I went to the university, back in the glorious days of Yahoo, and the much superior Altavista, surfing on Netscape, before Internet Explorer ruined everything.

There were some great SGI Indigo machines (my first contact with a Unix type OS) and a prehistoric VAX machine with actual dumb terminals (never saw the actual server, sadly) for us to practice with there at the university, though, so that was great (though it didn't make up for the Pascal).

The set of all integers is not larger than the set of all odd integers.

The set of all real numbers, on the other hand, is.

You'd need more than two parties for that.

By any civilized standard democrat politicians are far right extremists (a few token exceptions are closer to right or even center-right on some points, but they have little effect on the whole). Republicans are outright deranged lunatics, mixed with a worryingly increasing percentage of fascists.

Seems like a reasonable demand.

Also, especially in Argentina's case, because the other guys are literally the worst. ¹

¹ Except that this guy is somehow even more worst. But hey, at least it's new ² worst.

² It's not really new. Just the same old fascism ³, with a new shiny coat of paint. ⁴

³ Except somehow even more stupid and irrational than ever before.

⁴ It's not really paint. ⁵

⁵ Shit. It's shit. Brightly coloured shit, because of all the blood and other bodily fluids mixed in.

Majestic.

(Though probably not as much if you could smell it.)

Top left one is just stretching. I've seen cats look exactly like that when stretching, same face and all, no stylisation required, other than what's already naturally built-in due to them being cats.

Top right one is somewhat stylised, but mostly is just high on catnip.

The other two... yeah, those ain't very good.

I don't suck as much at programming as I suck at everything else.
