Seems we have lost sight somewhat of what really keeps us safe and sound and so we get climate crisis and deteriorating quality of life besides stuff like pandemics and depression..

Fruit Wrinkles....

Good Saturday morning cartoons and bumper commercials of the 80's/90's..

Only 3 major news networks that reported the actual news, not agendas. I miss Dan Rather, Connie Chung, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw giving me that news...

Life before cell phones, Facebook, Instagram...

David Letterman...

Good days of SNL...

ncode and k factor tennis lines and tennis in general during that time.

Etc...etc..

One of the things about Europe is their using symbols on everything due to all the languages. Our washing machine is a mess.
I miss 'cold', 'warm', 'hot'. And a simple timer.

I can't imagine the English-speaking market for many of these consumer products is so tiny that a manufacturer cannot put the language on the item.

Especially for important matters.

I miss those little white tags on my undershirt. Saved me time/attention energy when getting dressed in the morning. . . not having those is just another little attention/energy sucker.

I, too, miss hunting and gathering. Chipping flint to make my own tools. . . just as I like them! Perfect weight and balance for my game.

Here is the real irony :
Thats where we are heading.
if we unhinge full blown climate crisis by not taking the chance to decarbonize the economy and grow instead of gas ourselves out of our beloved lifes and ways of life we are used to.

Right. The Amway of cell phone companies is going to protect everyone's privacy. Good one!
I don’t know is it? Have you had a chance to check it out!

I’m not promoting it, I’m asking you whether you know anything about it or tried it, that’s all?

It’s sus, as my kids would call it. This is what I know

1 - it’s sold via commission through multi level amway style network
2 - the cost seems too low. Cell phone companies (really all companies) these days make a lot of money selling user data to each other. Clear’s claims would make them outsiders to that revenue stream. I don’t see how they’re economically viable. They either aren’t really doing what they claim or they’re never really going to be profitable unless the jack up the prices.

Whoever buys the phone will surely be put on a list for tracking, so be mindful of that.

Only the CCP will be able to get your info.

Just saw this thread. Anyone in the US that has NatGeo, they ran a 6-part series recently, The 80s: Top Ten, that’s worth a watch. It’s available On Demand.

Can’t find a good pic, but the OG BBQ Lay’s. They were in a burnt orange bag with just the word Barbecue. None of this KC Masterpiece sh*t they replaced them with.

That was a great series and I agreed with the rankings for the most part. I forgot about some things and it was a good reminder that that was the greatest decade. Conspicuous consumption.

I miss the days of striking flint to get my fire started.

It takes time.

It takes good tinder.

Yeah, I hadn't had a packet in a while then you know how it is. You think of something. I headed to the shop to buy some and they were not there. :( The other flavor was not there either so then I started to wonder. This shop sold them both for years.

Then I read this.

24 Sept 2020 — Discontinued. A nation is mourning the loss of the old-time crisp brand Brannigans, a mainstay of pub bar shelves and a corner shop staple.

Ah that's really disappointing. They were great crisps.
