Climate controls, navigation, and other vehicle settings are now in the central touchscreen display. This makes the radio more of a command center, a 3rd party stereo would not be able to integrate with all the functions.
Removable panels were once a deterrent against theft, modern vehicle security systems and the overall integration of the stereo into the car’s electronics have made them less necessary.

Never trust a dream toilet

I read that as: I’M HAVING A VOMIT

These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

This Far Side is from 1992, and the xkcd from 2023.
The Broadway stage musical from 1959 and the movie from 1965 are considered classics, hence many references exist.

People are exited when birds visit their bird bath. In the Larson-verse a family is excited about slugs, which are usually an animal people less excited to see.

Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Books of The Times:

a vignette describing Mr. Nixon’s lack of mechanical ability, in which a Presidential aide, Stephen Bull, recounts having once been asked by the President to open an allergy‐pill bottle with teeth marks on its childproof cap where Mr. Nixon had apparently tried to gnaw it open.

On another note: The Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 (PPPA) was signed into law by Richard Nixon on 1970

After one try you realize it’s not useful for writing but a great distraction from the actual things you need to do.

Those pens had about one working head, one that half worked and the rest dry from the beginning, you spent most of the time just playing with the springs. This seems like a good analogy for current AI usage.

Picasso origin story

I love it.

ME was crap, NT was a workhorse (as long as you didn’t try to install new stuff too often) and CE… was a wird alien no one know exactly what to do with it (almost had the potential but Microsoft blew it as usual). Win2K was a fine rather stable beast.

ME was crashing by the phases of the moon or if you hit the keyboard too fast.

Had ME on my home computer. I could had installed 98 but thought ME was newer than 98 so must be better (wrong). But nothing was lost when crashed, you reboot and could start over in no time.

You have versions with different number of steps to do one thing, do you have a system which day to use each? Now you have to think each time instead of working in auto-mode.

Win ME is the 98 image but the rock is on the smaller branch
