I wonder how many people are currently fatter than the 1913 fattest man alive

The goalie’s face. My goodness. Why on earth would you do that to yourself? It’s not like they were making a ton of money back then.

On a little side note. The guy that was on the roof taking photos of the Beatles last concert was my patient and told me that he has 1/2

Fun fact about #11 - The next year a huge blizzard downed almost all the overhead wires in the city, prompting them to be moved underground
HappyClamsters
The pic of goalie Terry Sawchuk, is him, but it’s what his face would look like if all of his facial injuries were present at the same time.

Computing is amazing, we just bought some 500GB SSDs for our work laptops and i think they were $70 and smaller than an iPhone. Unreal.

I’m annoyed at work because I only have a 100G SSD.

I have a shitty HP H1 with 4 GB RAM and all the stupid shit our company pushes down eats up about 3GB, it is useless

The Terry Sawchuk photo is misleading. I think it was an artist rendering all of his career injuries on his face at once or something.

You can be cool but you can never be cool as Clint Eastwood skateboarding in the streets of rome
maninthedarkness
If anyone does a biopic of Clint, Hugh is going to be top choice and I hope he takes it. He'd do Clint proud.
PullShporttel
I feel like Clint would buy his way into playing himself, despite being friggen 90.
SerenePrincess013
Honestly, his son Scott would be a pretty decent pic for age 20-30 Clint. Kid's a clone of his dad. It's a little creepy.
maninthedarkness
There're the identical movies for the year. The Man with the Name and Eastwood. Will let you figure which is Hugh and which is Scott.
SerenePrincess013
I'll watch those, when I have time. Kinda got a lot going on right now. <3
LariCheltsy
Ah, the Audie Murphy method.

Clints son, Scott Eastwood, is the spitting image of his dad.

hard to get any cooler than clint eastwood skateboarding in rome. You'd have to be like, Bowie getting arrested for marijuana possession

The Beatles had the company Apple Corps. (A pun) Long before Apple computer. Apple computer actually had a lawsuit against them
madbydesign
An Apple engineer created an alert sound called Sosumi (so sue me) because of the legal skirmishes between them.

I was probably the biggest beastie boys fan ever but I never new they had a different band name. Thank you for that!

Surprised me too.
Ryebred
I was at that RHCP show. Still have the stub. I remember Flea was complaining about food poisoning from the day before.
Jordinatinglybeautiful
Were nirvana and PJ any good? I would probably kill a man to see that show.
Ryebred
Amazing. I was at the front for PJ ten feet from Jeff Ament. People went bananas for Nirvana. Glad I wasn’t in the mosh pit for that lol.
Jordinatinglybeautiful
A bad man, or one that coughs without covering his mouth, you know it?
CharlesBronsonIsMrMajestyk
Back then PJ only had about 30 mins to play. So they made the most of it and fuckin killed it every night, and EV was climbing the ceilings.
FatBastardVegetarian
Seeing a band before they're famous... I doubt you'd really remember it unless you had the stub and looked at it later.
CantStopAddictedToTheShindig
I remember seeing Lady Gaga open for new kids on the block on their first reunion tour and saying to myself “Lady who?”
CharlesBronsonIsMrMajestyk
That tour rolled through Houston. I was too young to go, But I remember half the 8th grade class had Pearl Jam shirts the day after.

Her boobs are squashed flat under there but the cup still has a curve, so a chicken fillet effect more or less.

Am I the only one who feels old when 1983 is classed as "history" next to 1938?
DukeDarkwood
2001 counts as history now. For me, though... January 1986. I was eight years old. My memories aren't clear of my youth, but you never truly
DukeDarkwood
forget the first time you experience something and know it's something important. I'm not sure how much of it I really understood, but I
DukeDarkwood
felt that this was something that was going to change things. Looking back later, that's about as close as I figure I was to understanding
DukeDarkwood
that I was witnessing history happen. So, yeah, I can see 1983 as being "history".
wtforero
Technically, what happened yesterday is history, so I don’t feel it that much. 1995 could be referenced the same way

That picture of the Mercury Streamliner was taken in Chicago's Ogilvie Transportation Center, not in New York

Mercury was the name used by the New York Central Railroad for its family of streamliner passenger trains operating in the midwest

Shame New York Central scrapped all their streamliners as did the Pennsylvania railroad. Some had operation speeds of 120mph back in 1939.

It’s really fucking beautiful. I think we’ve lost that eye for aesthetics for now.

Efficiency limits what you can do aesthetics wise.

Is this less efficient for air drag than what they use now?

Maybe not, but it's a crap ton heavier.

It’s not sheet metal?

Is that a metric crap ton, or imperial?

It's just art deco. It still crops up every now and again.

Art Deco or art nouveau? Easy to confuse

It's beautiful, and I'm sad it's not used more often.
foiltoiler
Me too. ArtDeco/streamlined style still present enough in things like appliances, but I'm sad at how it doesnt exist at all in current cars
CouldBeACrackhead
Have you seen the latest gen Mazdas though?

Not yet.
HighFlyKai
So the 2020’s? They look good! I’m surprised they’re polarizing though. The design didn’t seem that radical/risky to me

Their designs are polarising but I adore them.

Do you mean the concept designs? The newest Mazda’s look pretty normal or at least the same as they have been for years

No, we just prioritise the object working over it looking nice now.

Actually, we prioritize the theoretical use of the object. Nobody drives a Ferrari at high speeds on the regular.
