I guess I’ll join ICE /s

starting salary for an ice agent in my state 50k. There was always money, just not for education

That camo pattern gives you +1 sneak

Did the voice on the payphone say: You must please deposit 25 cents to place your call LOL I think that’s engrained in my memory

Fun fact:
Once touch tone phones became the norm there were actually games you could play by just calling a number. There was also a number you could call and get the local time and temperature. Oh, and lets not forget Mr. MoviePhone!

Rotary phones weren’t even that long ago?!??! I still remember the swooop, click-click-click-click sound, oh, and the ear shattering ringing bells. I am happy that in our lifetime we’ve come so far that kids don’t understand tools from just a couple decades ago. I remember my father showing me a stack of punch cards he used at work and warning me not to touch them - but what I also know is, that those kids better get the hell off my damn lawn!

Mid 40s, and I too feel old now - at first I thought OP was setting us up for a joke. The local phone company still delivered phone books to everyone in my city until a few years ago.

I think it was an old legal requirement for any phone company providing landline services to also provide phonebooks. Unfortunately most weren’t even recycled, they were either burned in backyard firepits, or just thrown out

Same here, I feel as though I see the Oral-B heads on sale at least once a month, but the Sonicare heads are almost never on sale. Years ago I noticed the Philips Sonicare site running sales around Black Friday, but there haven’t been any for the last couple of Black Fridays.

Every now and again I’ll see discounted heads on Amazon, but I’ve also heard stories that there is a 50/50 chance of getting a knock-off that won’t work with handles - as Amazon combines all of their products for storage regardless of the seller

And here I thought the 70s were a wild time:

Aerial Artillery Design Study - Two Externally-Mounted XM204 Howitzers on a CH-47C Helicopter

Abstract:
Design arrangement and mounting approaches, weight estimates, balance calculations, stress analyses, and helicopter performance predictions of an aerial artillery system utilizing two externally-mounted 105mm XM204 soft recoil howitzers on a CH-47C Chinook helicopter are presented. This design provides for all the firing modes and operational capabilities required by the Weapons Command, including the ability to offload one howitzer when the helicopter is hovering. The study includes an analysis of the structural integration of the weapons and aircraft including muzzle blast effects and airframe dynamic responses. A minimum adequate fire control system for air-to-ground firing and typical ground artillery fire control equipment was included.

I’ll admit I’m not sure of the pros/cons of either. All I know about sheep/goats is that sheep produce wool, and goats produce milk…and I’m pretty sure the only reason I know that, is due to one of the many city builders I’ve played 😂

Are you the guy that made a tortilla press for his 3yr old? I saw this on Imgur and it made my day imgur.com link.

I had no idea homemade tortilla presses were a thing, but I guess they had to come from somewhere before mass production

That’s a pretty boss move, I don’t know if I’d be that quick thinking

Omen, Excorcist, Nightmare on Elm St, Jason, Cujo, Friday the 13th - I was a very free range kid. The one that really sticks out is (IIRC) The Amityville Horror. There is a scene with these red glowing eyes down a dark hallway…the adult in me knows it was probably just some guy with two flashlights, but it still raises the hairs on my arms thinking about it

For anyone willing to take one in the nostalgia: Babylon 5 20th Anniversary Reunion at Phoenix Comicon 2013

The microplastics in my body laugh at arsenic’s petty attempt on my life!

Probably something like this (forgive the red circle, not my edit)

Looks as though it can be stowed in the twin landing gear looking doors

Thanks for the tl;dr! These news sites really need to calm down
