Primitive search engines often allowed you to browse websites by topic. You could click on stuff like different music or film genres, specific movie or book titles, or celebrity names, and youd be presented with a list of all websites on that topic.

Since it was the early internet and everyone had multiple personal geocities or angelfire sites, you'd churn up pages upon pages of results for everything. Each search engine produced vastly different results, so you could waste a day on Alta Vista, then go to Excite and do it over again, finding a bunch of different stuff.

I'd spend hours opening websites for shitty (and some surprisingly excellent) bands from all over the world. A handful even went on to real life notoriety.

My biggest flex along those lines is I became a huge fan of AFI in 1992 or 1993 because there were some folks in California writing about the punk scene, and they came up a lot. Sometimes somebody would host 30 second .wav (.ra, maybe?) files recorded on a crappy tape recorder or something from a live show or local radio station. It was a cool time to be young and excited about music.

I can't speak for 5.11 quality today, but I got my Rush 12 in 2010 and it's still going strong. There were a few years there where I abused the hell out of it, too.

I'm a shoulder bag office lackey now, but the 5.11 remains my weekend bag. Other than the regrettable tacticool style, I have no complaints. The Covrt would probably be decent.

Shrimps is bugs

I'll spin up a humansarespaceorcs if nobody else does or if one doesn't already exist that I can't find. Y'all gotta promise to post tho!

I found one: !haso@sh.itjust.works

1. I'm not the one who downvoted you (which clearly means the consensus is you're wrong, ratios be damned)
2. You and I are now workplace enemies
3. I hope you have a good day!

Google Docs Editors is inferior to any office productuvity suite, and it's overused in the professional world.

I don't want your fucking Sheets link. Email me the Excel file with _v1 at the end.
