The one under which Native Americans didn’t have the right to vote until the 1970s? I don’t agree that it’s pretty good.

I am pretty sure we will need a new one by then.

In my neighborhood multiple people still have unsecure printers so the list always has more than one HP-Setup{numbers}.

Don’t forget the Surveyor missions that sent robot landers. One of the Apollo missions visited one and brought back one of its cameras to see what a couple years in space has done to the hardware.

Edit: Upon closer inspection this is what is being shown on the Apollo 12 picture from the meme. The precision landing was landing where Surveyor, a known landmark, already was.

It’s been said before but if all that is keeping you from raping and pillaging is fear of an invisible sky daddy then that says far more about you than anybody else.

I went to test drive one once and couldn’t get my legs under the steering wheel.

This actually happened to me once when I was a kid playing SimCity (I don’t remember if it was 2000 or 3000); The machine, a new but possessed Windows 98 machine, blue screened and ejected the 52x drive without spinning down the CD. So when the tray came out the disc flew across the room like a Lilliputian UFO.

MASH never had a laugh track. It was added in syndication and I believe the episodes, like Seinfeld, were sped up by small percentage to make them a couple minutes shorter.

I fully disagree with you though that there is no place left for classic sitcoms and that they haven’t aged well. While a little old still (but newer than Scrubs) I will refer to The IT Crowd as an example.

I still have high hopes for the Open WebOS project.

Gaza isn’t part of Israel and the waters off of it aren’t Israeli either.

IIRC there was a time when women had to have a higher score on the ASVAB to get the same positions as men.
