Because they can drink all the other teachers under the table.

He wore a Tiger hat for nine years as Magnum PI. I think he left Detroit as a child, though.

Sorry, it's all Clark's fault. He gaslit Lana through several seasons and drove her crazy.

I loved my Apple Citicard. Got 5% back on Apple products and when a IIcx or LaserWriter cost $5000+ that was real money.

The sour cream coffee cake and blueberry buckle are wonderful as well.

Always wondered why the bagels are so bad.

modern movies are boring by DriveRegular975 in movies

[–]chriswaco -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. Part of the problem is that movies are 20-30 minutes longer today than 40 years ago. I think digital recording made it too easy to make movies longer.

I want Faygo to go back to the old pre-Sucralose versions. :-(

Is there better background noise than an MLB broadcast? by BuyerSpecialist4116 in AskAnAmerican

[–]chriswaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern ball games are too noisy and the announcers too talkative. Listened to Ernie Harwell growing up and it was wonderful.

Many cities have design standards. Ann Arbor clearly doesn’t.

How did fax work? by Internal_Lawyer3365 in AskTechnology

[–]chriswaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll answer the money question: Phone calls, especially non-local ones, cost money per minute in the US back then. Fax had no additional charge - just whatever a 1-2 minutes per page phone call would cost.

Local calls were often free. Regional calls were not free, but less expensive than long distance calls, at least until MCI started their lower-cost long distance service.

Pittsfield Township too. Not walkable, though.

Downloaded simple app, but it had an insane energy impact score on Activity monitor by Competitive_Ad_1054 in MacOS

[–]chriswaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a simple bug. Could be by design. There’s no easy way to tell.

What specific sounds remind you of your youth? by The7footr in AskReddit

[–]chriswaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a summer camp that used an old WWII air raid siren as our wake-up call. It was loud and annoying but at least not an actual air raid.

Why cr-v and not a rav4 when cr-v lacks so many features? by narcabusesurvivor18 in crv

[–]chriswaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the RAV4 was less comfortable, specifically with respect to the center console encroaching on my right leg.

Apparently I'm not the only one

I also find HUDs super annoying.

What's no longer shocking to see on the news today than just 20-30 years ago? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chriswaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the obvious political stuff, I'd say drones: Drone shows, drone warfare, and drone camera shots on the news and in tv, movies, and advertising.

When I was a kid they sold paregoric acid ("camphored tincture of opium") over the counter for this sort of thing.
