<p>WKRP's handling of the Who concert at Riverfront Coliseum (Cincinnati, 1979) really sticks out in my memory.<p>The radio station was portrayed as promoting a big concert through most of that episode, barely mentioning The Who by name that I recall, and it seemed like a "normal" installment for the first part of the television programme.  The latter minutes somberly dealt with the tragedy and tried to bring attention to problems with  "festival" (general admission) seating for such venues.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_concert_disaster" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_concert_disaster</a><p>A search says WKRP "In Concert" episode is viewable at

<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>
