  • After reading the alt text and googling I'm still baffled. The actual google trends show no spike in interest, so I guess OP is saying they wish Slackware was back on people's radar, and maybe the Slackware maintainer could do that using a stunt name change.

  • If Chinese companies really are unfairly competitive because their government backs them, how about Western governments back their own electric car manufacturers? Instead of just making other products more expensive...

  • For the CRTs at least that makes sense, because they used to be mass manufactured, everybody had one, and then new tech came out so nobody wanted them anymore. They threw them out or sold them for cheap. Now that that glut of CRTs has cleared out, they're probably relatively rare, and people aren't manufacturing much of them anymore.

    I think that probably applies to lots of things.

  • Probably not even personally most fascinating and doesn't compare to other examples here, but I was recently in the atrium of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and it's amazing. Vast tall space with repeating brutalist architectural elements.

    I can't seem to upload pics here, check it out on google maps.

  • I learned cursive but I'm sure have forgotten how to write it, especially some of the capital letters. Thing is learning it now is really just for backwards compatibility. Yes, it's faster to write in cursive when writing by hand, but how often is that coming up these days, for most people?

  • You're right it's good to prepare young people for challenges. Still, that should mean challenges that would come up anyways, not artificially making things more difficult.

    It's good to know how to read an analog clock, just like it's good to be able to read cursive. But both of them are outdated and aren't inherently required in day to day life. Inserting them into a testing situation that's meant to test something else is creating an unnecessary challenge.

  • I interpreted it to be added because the last time this was posted (without "citation needed") someone in the comments pointed out that in real life, the woman on this air pistol team actually performed worse than the man and affected their final score.

    Not sure the point is really conveyed without knowing that context. But also I don't think the original was that good either.
