Every individual civilization has followed that pattern with a few exceptions. Overall, however the previous view is correct historically speaking. As a species things do just keep getting better for us, except in periods of systemic transition.

Homer Simpson energy, as well. “The worst day of your life so far.”

There was a virtual swap space program that I downloaded in the Windows 95-98 era that did something similar. Worked reasonably well, if slowly, but everything was slower back then with computers.

Lol, I almost corrected it to Elaine from Seinfeld lookalike. I should have.

Thanks

Who’s the Julia Louis Dreyfuss lookalike?

Fragging is BACK on the menu boys!

I say this as a veteran and an officer.

Edit: but I originally got the Internet in my house in Aug of 1986. I was almost 6 years old. I’ve been on the Internet since before it was the World Wide Web. Back in the days of BBSs, and MUDs. By the time I got that UIN, I was already 15, and heading to university.

I’m reasonably certain that I may be among a few hundred people that never went backwards on our connection speed, and had 24 h access to ISDN by 1996, and never have lost Internet access since 1986.

Ahh, fair enough. It was a bad joke anyway, on my part.

If you have an accent that is probably what tripped up the TTS. The words purpose and porpoise are said remarkably similarly in certain accents.

Autocorrect wrote porpoise in your comment as opposed to purpose. Porpoises are in the dolphin family.

I don’t think those students were dolphins…

They don’t allow cameras anywhere near these places. Heck, they will tell the inmates in a normal jail that if you even attempt to talk to inspectors you’ll get thrown in the hole. They ensure that the stuff that should be reported, never gets noticed or talked about.

Trump said Noem will be “moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida.”

More like a lateral promotion than throwing her under the bus, really.

Given the Armageddon comments, I honestly think the plan is to shove all the Jewish people into Israel, and then nuke it, Mecca, and Medina.

Since when? They didn’t when the war started, and cigarette boats don’t really count as a Navy

Just like Indiana, PA.

Same people that deny that the US invented concentration camps to deal with the natives

Us IT nerds at university made a makeshift vaporizer out of an end table, an air mattress compressor, a steel ashtray, a soldering iron, some sort of wire mesh, a large glass bowl, and some aquarium tubing.

Also started The Baha’is who don’t seem to be disappointed at all.
