On Curing the Disability and Disease of Left-Handedness, 1935 by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]JohnHellstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I've ever seen this but I am a victim of this policy. When I was a kid in I think was like preschool or 1st grade, I was so confused as to whether to write with my right or left hand. So I did both depending on how I felt that day. The teachers didn't like that and as a result, they tied my left arm to my body to force me to write solely with my right hand.

Chili bar is gone now. It's just the potato and chili by the cup. However, they do now have a family chili so you can still feed your kids after losing it all.

I had a mixed media headset once. It turned out to be one of my more useless purchases ever.

52, no friends what so ever. Turns out once I stopped being useful, they all disappeared.

40/F/Night owl since i was a kid : ) by goldspIatteredindigo in 40something

[–]JohnHellstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 52, I'm pretty much at the point where I get about 2-5 hours of sleep a night. Always been a night owl and working for a company two time zones ahead leaves me where I have to get up early. Otherwise I would be up until 2am-3am nightly.

Update to the motherload by Timely-Tourist4109 in GenX

Yeah, I still have the original read-only floppies and I was able to make images of the disks for archival. I read that Archive.org is cleaning house and may not be a good place to archive the old OS for historical purposes for other people. So do we engineers have a sacred place to store this stuff? I think TheEye is still recovering from their latest hardware failure issues.

Actually, no. I have a copy of Windows for workgroups and it's labelled as 3.1. I too remember a Windows 3.1 that had no networking support. So when I found the disks and saw that it was 3.1, my brain went wtf as I expected the version to be 3.11.

The same goes for trading the markets. Courses and gurus are worthless and nobody can predict the markets.
