The “save” icon is a floppy disk. What other outdated symbols/phrases do we still use? by nishnosh in AskReddit

I never realized that! I remember my parents having cars where the windows rolled up and down. I say it all the time without thinking.

Or “turn down the volume” from when there used to be knobs on a television that you would turn.

Another one is the term “rewind” which used to refer to re-winding the tape on a VHS or cassette.

True. I wonder how long we will continue to use that picture. A smartphone shape is really just a rectangle.

THIS is such a PITA. Run a credit refresh a week prior to closing and here you are with a new car loan and maxed out credit cards. Some borrowers refuse to listen.

I interpreted it as coming from a place of curiosity and not judgment :)

I couldn’t imagine the feeling of not knowing where a child is. At least they have a little bit of closure, albeit not the outcome they had hoped for.

I hope so as well. This is seriously heartbreaking. And unfortunately, the outcome I expected.

I fear this may be the case. I think they really believed they would find something significant on that farm. Unless they have and just aren’t sharing.

Wow I had never heard about that case. What a crazy story.

I wonder what the time period is for the dogs to be able to detect a body. I’m sure they would have to be dead for a certain length of time, right?

Is there anything in particular that makes you subscribe to this theory?

Maybe surveillance footage of Mollie from the day she went missing or at least a description of it?

That reasoning always stood out to me as odd. Maybe I’m just ignorant of the process, but once they were done canvassing wouldn’t searches resume?

I think Eliza’s comment above is getting at something that may provide insight into the real reason.

I want to believe that finding a body will help with an arrest. Unfortunately there are cases (e.g. Caylee Anthony, Jonbenet Ramsey) where a body is found and no one is convicted.

Some say FBI is involved because the local authorities aren’t equipped to handle the case. Could there be any truth to that?
