That fridge, in that color occupied a similarly wood paneled kitchen for me growing up. I got a little sweaty when I saw the picture, wondered who’s been in my old house.
What’s that quote? History is written by the winners. Yeah, something like that. Not to say the alternative would have been better, but bad historians will always leave out the worst parts of a country’s history.
The term “oat start” makes me think of a bag of oats over one’s mouth making it impossible to start whatever they were gonna start. The meaning is enhanced by the stoppiness off the word sounds.
Sarcasm aside, I hop on it every few days to see what new stuff Lemmy is talking about, comment a few things, then move on. Return to reply to replies, rinse and repeat for a few days until I’m in the mood to browse Lemmy again.
If you contribute to the profit, you should get a fair share of the profit. And not some pennies while those higher in the hierachy reap most of the profit for themselves.
One time I wrote a program that would convert a wikipedia article into plain text then run that through the say command in mac os terminal.
For a while I’d put my computer to reading me a wikipedia article to fall asleep to. Or maybe I was trying to learn subconsciously through sleep or something, can’t remember.
But what I do remember is that listening to the article on The Fermi Paradox, read to me by a robot voice, seemed kind of theatrical and badass, just how it reads.
This was like 15 years ago so I don’t know if the article still reads badass.
Only available in harvest yellow, burnt sienna, olive, and white. Upgrade yours with some simulated wood grain accents to match your station wagon for a reasonable price. Don’t leave it outside in your vacant lot where kids might play inside. Be nice to the Sears appliance department salesperson. They really want a promotion to the vacuum cleaner department so they can buy their kid a high-fidelity 8-track cassette this Christmas.
I’d keep waxing nostalgic but it will never buff to a nice sheen these days. My parents got a toaster as a wedding gift and it was still in daily use when I went off to college. Appliances nowadays are junk.
How much of that is also survivorship bias. Why is it that if appliances were better back then people ended up buying new ones? Most people tend to only buy new appliances and furniture if the old one breaks regardless if there’s a new model. At least that has been my experience with the vast majority of people I’ve known at more than an acquaintance level. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be able to afford new stuff just cause.
