They were considered to be a weapon.

When I was 14-15 I wanted a wallet chain, but they were banned at my school. I made one of of safety pins that looped down past my knees. Somehow my linked safety pins were ok…

Honk? Quack? Idk. I tried

I don’t have a useful answer, but I commiserate with you. Last time I went to one the lady in the drive through really REALLY tried to keep pushing that coupon book on me. No. I don’t want it. We don’t come by here that often. I don’t care if it’ll save me money now because it won’t in the long run.

Honestly, it left a really bad taste in my mouth with how pushy she was after I repeatedly said “no.”

Not mine, but my dad’s that I was there to witness.

It was summer (90s) and we were all camping at a lake. My sister and I were playing with some kids while my dad was chatting up the other kids’ dad. Just as I was getting out of the water I hear the other dad exclaim “you remind me of a guy I used to know called [name]!” My dad laughs and says “I am [name].” Turns out they used to go to school together decades before.

It’s stuck with me all these years, and has somewhat been turned into an inside joke within our family.

Met her briefly at a Sanders campaign rally. Would vote for her in a heartbeat.

I clean my Samsung watch with a wet wipe (the kind you use on human skin - like a baby wipe or “flushable” wipe – which isn’t, never flush those things), and dry the face/underside with a smooth microfiber cloth. The band I have is some form of leather, so yrmv.

My skin can’t stand silicone bands so I stick to metal or leather.

I miss the $50 phones …

Now it’s a payment plan for X number of months for the phone - no interest on the amount, or a free (or reduced price, I think) of the phone if you have Y plan for Z months.

Your best fit is… Outsider Left … along with 10% the public

Memphis design for the colors and patterns, Y2K for the colorful translucent electronics, and Frutiger Aero for the GUIs.

I just bought myself a pair of parachute pants! They’re not nearly as loud as the wind breaker suits of the 90s and early 00s, but I love them.

I remember us having an Atari computer along with some Compac computer running DOS in the late 80s. The computers I grew up with were models that we got for free from my dad’s workplace whenever they upgraded. We ran Win 3.1 until about '98. Win 95 was prevalent in the house until the mid '00s. Due to my dad’s job, we always had a computer of some sort in the house.

The computers in my elementary school’s computer lab were Apple 2es - in the 90s.

I didn’t get a cellphone until around 2004/2005, and then it was a hand-me-down from my older sister. The Nokia 5110 - the brick, complete with extendable antenna.

Thanks! Whenever I get one and test it, I’ll do my best to write up a review here on the community as an update.

Thanks, I will give them a look. Sorry for the belated reply.

For the bigger screen and portability. My eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. My gaming laptop’s fans are dying, and this would be cheaper than a new laptop (sadly, it’s also showing it’s age and cannot be upgraded further). I use my deck at home 99.99% of the time so it wouldn’t be much more to setup a monitor along with it.

Sorry for the belated reply.

I’ve seen those, or something like it. They would not work for me because 1) I wear glasses and 2) VR makes me motion sick. I really wish they would because the implementation is really cool.

Blinkies - those small gifs that blinked to give the impression of glitter.

iframes - precursor to divs, but definitely added that “only works in IE” feel.

More contrast between font color and background image - it’s too easy to read.

12pt Times New Roman font - gotta squint to read and default font for everything

Flashy gif banner at your header and footer - bonus points if they’re the same image

All urls default to underlined blue and purple.

Mouse cursor with trails. The more sparkles, the better.

Clip art. Clip art everywhere.

It’s a thing. It’s a disgusting thing, but it’s a thing. I remember, almost 30 years ago, my parents picking out a double wide trailer and they had to check a box to NOT get carpet in the bathrooms.
