"It used to be the US Attorneys didn't care about illegal entry - just get them deported as fast as possible. Because when they come back, illegal reentry after deportation is a much more serious crime, which can range all the way to double-digit years in prison.

And given current STEM funding priorities, it's unlikely anyone will attempt an experiment like this again anytime soon.

Goddamn it.

@fluffy linode is down for a lot of people apparently

@MightyBigCar I remember the logo from when I was a kid...that's why i said 30, but I probably should have said 40.

Remember that graphic design in Canada severely lagged behind that of the US for a long while.

I do think they are alkaline batteries, though.

@bootjack Given it's from Union Carbide, my guess would be early manganese dioxide/zinc alkaline. But it's possible that it's zinc-carbon I guess? dunno.

One of the founders of Casio Computers has just died.

Kazuo Kashio helped push the pocket calculator, the Casiotone keyboard and the G-Shock watch to fame.
