<p>I thought I read something similar in Levy's book "Hackers" but the following is from
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html</a><p>"It was Bernie Greenberg, who discovered that it was [2]. He wrote a version of Emacs in Multics MacLisp, and he wrote his commands in MacLisp in a straightforward fashion. The editor itself was written entirely in Lisp. Multics Emacs proved to be a great success—programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program."</p>

<p>The NITECORE UM10 is an "in/out" charger too - it handles various sized LiIon batteries one-at-a-time. A switch on the end determines if it is charging or discharging. Their site says it's discontinued, but I thought I recently saw them at a shop in Seattle.  Time to pick up a spare.<p><a href="https://charger.nitecore.com/product/um10" rel="nofollow">https://charger.nitecore.com/product/um10</a></p>

<p>Maybe I missed it, is there no love for the piping to an external command?<p>I set a mark, move to somewhere else, then save the area between where I am and the mark: ma(assign mark "a" to position), jjj(move three lines away), |a(pipe from current-position to the "a" mark then a ! prompt appears so enter...) cat >somefile (which dumps the selected text, cur-pos to mark "a", into somefile).<p>That was great for saving snippets of news or emails.<p>Also, the -j setting.  Sets the line position for searches so context is available, eg using -j8 means the search is 8 lines from the top of the screen.</p>

<p>Cash-only here.  I have not (generally) accepted pennies since the mid 1980's.<p>Many of the local places (Seattle - Belltown & the Market) are cool with rounding transactions to the nearest dollar, so that helps.  It might also be part of being an active participant in the local society.</p>

<p>> ... vocal cord development ...<p>I've read, from a few separate sources that were not research papers, something similar that claimed the development was a result of existing in semi-aquatic environments such as home on land but swimming for food/safety.  I neither agree or disagree (not my field, I don't possess appropriate background/information), but I do think of it when evolution of vocal cords is mentioned.<p>I don't recall the sources ATM, possibly something out of CoEvolution Quarterly or Bucky Fuller.  Again, not research papers.</p>
