It’s the opposite for me. If I told my spouse I was feeling relaxed and calm she’d start to get worried.

Holy crap, I haven’t thought about Stella in probably 25 years. Thanks for the flashback!

So does sitting, after a while.

I heard both halves of this comment.

I liked BeOS

I never had the chance to use it but those tabbed title bars were slick.

I used to be in the make-DST-permanent camp because I enjoy it being lighter later. Then I saw a set of US maps illustrating sunrises before 7am and sunsets after 5pm. Permanent DST completely hoses the western areas of the time zones. I can’t in good conscience support that option anymore. Ditch DST altogether, and just make standard time permanent.

The whole “seatbelts can trap you, it’s safer to be thrown clear of the collision” nonsense survived well into my lifetime. It’s a mind-bogglingly stupid concept that far outlived the active propaganda campaign. I didn’t start wearing a seatbelt until I started driving, which in hindsight is hard to believe. But buckling up was the exception and not the rule when I was a kid in the 80s.

4 yo me: coughs intermittently for several minutes

Mother of the year: angrily stabs out her cigarette and waves her hand over the ashtray a few times “There! It’s out! Shut up!”

Me: continues coughing as the windows are all up and a literal hand wave does jack shit
