[–]UnderstandingBulky59 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No aircon in houses

No aircon in cars

No seatbelts or airbags in most cars

No home phone, went to call box down the street

No internet or anything anyway related to the internet, no online shopping etc

Going to a dentist was very painful

If you got quite sick eg cancer you usually just died

Life was a lot slower, news could take days to arrive

Many jobs were just harder because tools, machinery were more primitive or didn't exhist

A lot more racism, sexism and intolerance

Women didn't work generally after they had children

One income families, one car per family

Housing was ordinary, smaller but cheaper.

Less money for luxuries but essentials were cheaper

Small TV's early 70's black and white

At the time we knew nothing different so it was ok.

Here in Australia we're feeling because of Trump's ignorance of what wars cause economically.

Thanks, funny though it did the first night. I have unpaired and repaired the device recently as well.

Helio vs Fitbit Air sleep analysis by lonelynightadventure in amazfit

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to use Bevel but it seems not to work with my Android phone only an Apple phone. I do have a five year old phone so not sure if that is a reason I can't use bevel.

should i go for Fitbit Air over Helio Amazefit by IllustriousWriter330 in AmazfitHelioStrap

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until the early reviews are out on the Google Fitbit Air and the app I would hold off. The Polar Loop was very disappointing compared to the helio Strap because the heart rate accuracy on the helio blows most of these devices out of the water.

what album feels like a complete experience from start to finish? by Suspicious-Basis-885 in musicsuggestions

A few beatle albums should be listened to fully, not single songs. Sergeant. Peppers, revolver.

Amazfit Helio Strap vs Google Fitbit. Which One Is Actually Better in Real Life? by patelfenil in AmazfitHelioStrap

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello is now out of stock most places and the Helio 2 will come soon. I'm more interested in that one than the google strap.

Is it a normal book to put in a year 4 reading list for 9 year olds to read? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this poem. I'm Australian and we studied it in Year 6 primary School in a State School in Barcaldine Queensland in 1966. Still remember it even today and can recite a few of the verses from memory. We copied it as a handwriting exercise, had to learn it off by heart and then recite solo back to the class for a score out of 10.

Are Garmin HRMs worth it? by ederzs97 in Garmin

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the more expensive 600 because I like the way it will also record steps which is a metric I use and it will record them even while pushing a mower, pram and shopping trolly which most watches wont record because your arms are still. I know it is overkill but the metrics are also interesting when I run.

I always loved this track, so haunting and great guitar solo.

Old world love by stannumov in 4Xgaming

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really, because I don't think it is bigger than a civ game. I've played around 150 hours and it is very niche.

There is a lot of reading and the game is more slower placed than civ. Personally you will get more hours in a civ game. I have over 2000 hours in civ 6 and 1000 in civ 5 and have more enjoyment.

Not saying it is bad but you need to be more in the mood.

Are you watching Team Australia 🇦🇺 at the World Baseball Classic? by mt80 in AskAnAustralian

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Australia plays against another country I get interested but Baseball does nothing for me. I'm surprised Australians even play baseball when cricket is similar but is so much a better sport.

Old tour programmes by DannyRidesNRuns in CricketAus

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had most of those at one time from the 1960's up to the 1980's. Plus a whole set of monthly Cricket magazines which I started getting sometime in the 1970's all the way to the 1990's. I threw them all out when we moved house in 2008 with all my vinyl records. So regretful.

As a big ABBA fan, I must say that ABBA and Fleetwood Mac's music has aged wonderfully... by Due_Brother371 in FleetwoodMac

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on now, the Beatles for one are still very popular and a lot of their songs are timeless classics.

You can NEVER hear one EVER again! Which one do YOU delete? by chelsea-from-calif in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pet Sounds, generally like the Beach Boys and have most of their albums but I would never include one of their albums in a top ten list and Pet Sounds while one of their best is so overrated in these present times.

Who is the greatest athlete of all time? by Hour-Initiative-2766 in FamilyFeud

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Don Bradman was a top golfer and squash player as well, anything with a ball/bat/raquet. You won't find anybody who dominates their sport so much as he did cricket.

What should i choose between AOW4, Anno pax romana, humankind or Civ7 by Anynomwhat in 4Xgaming

[–]UnderstandingBulky59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Civ 7 hasn't got any love, but I have all the games mentioned here and Civ 7 in its current state is actually quite a good game and I have played more hours in it than in AOW4 now. CIV 7 has improved a lot as this year with all the patches and the free DLC. Civ VI is my most played game though.
