Laugh tracks were extensively used long before the Fran Drescher thing though?

Nearly every show I watched from the 60's to the early 80's used them. It was noticeable when there wasn't a laugh track.

I've worked for numerous enterprises since the 90's.

None of them have been this idiotic. All of them implemented secure channels. Remember SecurID cards for dial up connections?

Guess she'd like to see all her "unencrypted" chats published for the world to see...

Look into your municipality's recycling process, see how it's done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

I'd bet a year's salary it's far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

"Recycle" was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70's. It largely isn't effective.

As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don't forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

Everything else largely isn't, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it's a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I've read.

Someday, just not today.

If the 3 R's, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.

There were handheld electronic card game players in the 80's.

You'd be surprised how many phone calls took place at that time.

Mayne talking about a show, or chatting someone up, etc. You were bored, so a phone was great.

Readers Digest contained multiple books in one volume

So, what's the utility of labeling yourself a "bad person"?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it's the nature of being human. And we're all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What's more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn't help.

Run it in a VM, then get the NoCD from gamecopyworld?

(Not sure if that's an option for securom)

If you currently have an IP camera setup, add Tailscale to your network with the Subnet Routing feature enabled.

You can then access that camera from anywhere.

Optionally also enable the Funnel feature, and you won't even need the Tailscale client.

I like how you assume another civilization would be any more rational.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.
