Same with Ball and canning jars.

I saw a documentary about that which was a total hoot. From some stiff necked old coot talking about "At Hamilton Standard we made propellers and transmission gearboxes for military and commercial applications. They made brassieres." To this sharp old girl talking about "I was making baby pants and they asked me if I wanted to try something different. They put me in charge of quality control, and I issued each girl color coded pins. I was examining one suit, and I found a red pin, so I looked up who was issued the red pins and I went over to her and said "Here's your pin" and I stuck her in the behind with it."
I like to think those two are married.
Has any company of any size ever done something actually envrionmentally friendly?
the shoe event horizon.
The crew lineup confuses me slightly;
Geordi and Worf are in yellow, Troi is in the lavendar catsuit, and Westley is in the rainbow stripe getup, so season 2, but Dr. Crusher and...is that Ensign Ro? are present?
If I am elected president, anyone who has ever claimed to be "building a better future for our children" will have their mouths smashed off with a rifle butt.
Hilarious idea: Wi-fi antenna dummy loads.
As far as I know those days have never arrived.
In the 1980's you'd buy a computer and the diskette drive would eat disks, the tape drive would fail to load because the volume was turned up too loud, or the software was just badly written by an amateur and it would kill multiple people with high doses of radiation..
In the 1990's the gaming computer as we know it today took shape, but you just go ahead and put one together. Install a graphics accelerator card or a sound card in Windows 3.1 or DOS. Go ahead. Windows 98, featuring USB Plug And Play! It just works!
It's the year 2000! nothing bad will happen! Windows XP is so much better with so many new features, granted about half of your old Win9x software isn't going to work because this is basically NT Home Edition. It's the 21st century, computers are always online and have basically no built-in security. What could go wrong?
It's 2010, and it seems these smart phones are here to stay. No problem, we'll just rebuild the entire internet for tiny, vertical displays and release an entire generation of Windows as a touch-first UI. Nothing's gonna go wrong.
It's 2020, so put your mask on! Between a containership jackknifing across the Suez canal, traffic jams at ports because covid, impending political bullshit, and the rising trend of using AI to "write" software and said AI's insatiable thirst for hardware meaning entire brands of computer parts are shutting down, maybe you should just go to the store, buy a stick of sidewalk chalk for $17 and just play a goddamn game of hopscotch instead.
One of my neighbors is The_Booty_Warrior. My hypothesis is that's the pear-shaped Army chick that lives across the street, but it might be the balding middle aged family man two doors down.
They were shoving cameras in employees faces demanding they say stupid shit for Tiktok and responding by going absolutely apeshit, so how about no.
Sally Ride married a man. What's your point?
