I had a Punch tape thing going on from the university of Louisville to me highschool. Less annoying than the cards, but really difficult to keep from getting too bent up

In my programmer trainee job, we created programs and updates on punched cards, but stored on disk. Coding sheets.
Quickly learned to keypunch changes.
And you wanted the whole program decks to be interpreted and have sequence numbers.. Yes, dropping the deck could be catastrophic...
You had to know about sequential files on tape, sorting and merging.. Like what was actually happening.
So with Taylor not playing she is at risk of renom if one of the nominees wins OR someone actually wants her as renom.

If it is the one with swords holding up targets, as they showed, which is NOT Pressure Cooker, it could be not too long... But there should be some motivated players and Taylor being quite anxious.

Taran mentioned that this comp, with the swords has gone as long as 8 hours. Kirsten reminded that last time, the swords were heavier, which made for a shorter comp.
And last time the comp was in a small room which raises the risk of catching whatever is going around in there. Outside would be better, IF the weather wasn't so hot. A bigger inside area would be best.

Maris yes Fortran. Also was in college at the time and boy did I struggle. I'm logically challenged lol. Fortran was NOT user friendly for me.

I definitely don't want Drew to win, but if he does it would mean he controlled himself to not touch his hair!

They are quizzing each other.
The competition is holding a sword in place.
Devens is still in there holding a sword.

Yash’s red track suit reminds of Sue Sylvester, the gym teacher on the tv show “Glee,“ played by Jane Lynch.
