This was the norm when I was young. Comfort with the situation varied, of course. But, to refuse would be more uncomfortable.

LOL. That’s not a picture of our actual VCR, just one of the same model.

But, my dad was an aircraft mechanic. He knew his way around tech well enough. Our clocks were always set correctly, as it happens.

That’s a new one to me. Great Britain, I assume.

You know how you think it’s better to keep them, just in case?

It is.

We just had the twin lead wire coming from the antenna on the roof, through the wall, and hooked to the back of the TV. We didn’t get a color TV until I was about eight years old. My mom didn’t like the color, she thought they looked wrong, so we had black and white until she saw a Sony TV. (Early 70s)

The old B&W TV looked something like this:

This was our first VCR. I think this was the first digital clock we had in the house, too:

He’ll show up any minute now.

Sometimes I pick up a shirt and then decide I don’t want it, so I just leave it on any old shelf. I’m not very neat about it, and it might hang over the edge a bit. Oops.

Mike ran out of money, so he’s trying to make Austin Powers 4.

We’ve already established this.

Because it’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

… and what’s it called?

I’m guessing in a big city, like NYC or LA.

That’ll teach you to catch it next time. This is how we learn.

This is me when they finally take down piracy and I just can’t get the media anymore, since I refuse to give them a cent. I know I’ll adapt, and probably be better off for it.

That would be the ideal for Netflix. Everyone subscribes and pays, but no one uses it.

Gee, maybe that’s why it’s so hard to find anything good to watch on Netflix now.

Netflix is still garbage.

Much cheaper than hiring more staff to cover shifts.

Physicists (only because I watch Sabine, and this is what she says they do)

Fifteen minutes? Those are rookie numbers.
