Gaylord really likes to make everybody miserable. I guess he feels jealous that everybody else’s life is more interesting than his own.

You would be correct. I found a video (not the same one, but one very similar) from National Geographic: youtu. be/ DBNYwxDZ_pA

Jaguars are incredibly powerful apex predators. I saw a documentary about cats (I think it was an episode of Nova), that included video of a jaguar taking out a crocodile. I wouldn’t have thought it possible before seeing the footage.

Adventure (aka “Colossal Cave Adventure”) was the first text-adventure game. It inspired generations of similar games, including Zork and dozens of titles published by Infocom (which was founded by the original Zork authors).
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

A port of Star Trek (named Super Star Trek) was published in 1978 in the book “BASIC Computer Games”. The content of this book is available on the Internet in various archives.
There was also a really awesome MS-DOS version of this game sold by Insterstel in 1984 for a variety of contemporary home computer systems, named “Star Fleet I: The War Begins”, and is available from various “abandonware” sites.
(Just be extra careful with what you download – some web sites may have corrupted or infected files.)

It depends on what you do. I work from home, but I develop software for electronics products that the company manufactures. I frequently have prototype devices (bare circuit boards, or boards mounted in 3D-printed enclosures) on my desk. I occasionally show them to my daughter, who occasionally finds them interesting.

My dad was an engineer/manager. I rarely visited his office, but the company occasionally had open house events. I remember typing my name onto a keypunch machine, and bringing home an IBM card with it punched out. And playing a Star Trek game on a PDP-11.

I had a cooler teacher. In 6th grade, I read Foundation for a book report. Not an easy book for a kid, and I’m sure I missed a lot of interesting stuff, simply because I hadn’t yet learned enough about history and politics, but it was still a fun read.
That year, we also read The Hobbit, but I just couldn’t get into it at that time.
Is smoking dangerous to trolls?
