I live in the Chicago area too and see what your saying but I literally have to say "I'm from Morgan and Morgan and Morgan", everytime I see that commercial. imagine what happens if more Morgans marry into the firm? It reminds me of Monty Python's SPAM sketch.
Yep, sure looks like Boca Chica, Texas.
Companies used Computserve for support sites. I used a mainframe database at work, running an early Hierarchical/relational database (IDMS/R, and it got bought out by Computer Associates. They used Compuserve for support. It worked OK.
And let's not forget, there wasn't everything in the world on the Internet yet either, it took time to become as populated as it is now. (Good and bad).
This was in the late 1980's.
I worked at a college. We used Bitnet. You'd collect a bunch of internet commands in a text file, and send it off to a site, they'd execute them, then send you the results. I did ftp to get song lyrics from a site at University of Wisconsin. Was a contributor as well. Later there was Gopher from the University of Minnesota It think it was. Basically sort of a text based WWW, and it was a in a chain format. So if you didn't find something you liked on that one measly page, you'd click NEXT.
Nice, but check out the cover of this Pulitzer Prize winning book from 1979. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach
"As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?"
Actually, it's "synesthesia".
I know, I know, but as they used to say about movies, "if you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"
Nice close-up photography too. Really shows of the craftsmanship.
You are a doppelganger for Dave Foley.
Some quick research shows the door blew at 16,000 ft. and the pilot lowered the altitude immediately to lessen the air pressure differential. But, at 16,000 ft. the temperature would have been -30 F. The one AI chatbot said "thanks to the insulation and heaters on the plane, the cabin temperature would have remained comfortable for passengers."
Reminds me of this video https://makeagif.com/gif/jamiroquai-virtual-insanity-official-4k-video-O7OIAD
I'm in the US, and have a friend in Germany. The holocaust is taught there in schools. Not sure if this specific storyline is, however
On mostly unrelated note, I tried buying a bottle of Pepsi from a vending machine recently, using a credit card. When the robot arm misfired and could not delivered it to the right hand side shute, it fell to the bottom of the machine in no man's land. I was surprised when later in the month an automatic refund showed up on my bank statement.
I'm fortunate, I don't have any relatives like that.
I assume this is happening in YOUR house. Never understood people who do their routine, but in YOUR house. WTF! Do that crap in your house you looney, not here.
Great costume! I watched it last year only because it was on a schmalztiest movie list. I sit with my wife watching a lot of Rom-Coms on things like Hallmark and Lifetime, etc. It is a guilty pleasure, I kinda liked it. This had a nice twist at the end, and who doesn't love Emilia Clarke?
Samn, I just took a look, you ain't kidding, what great natural shots.

And pay in cash at the door.
Not easy, as it's in an amendment to the Constitution. See my earlier comment about how those are extremely difficult to change. This ain't Russia.
Don't know if you are joking or being dramatic, but a president can not rewrite the constitution. It takes amendments, which must be passed by two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of state legislatures. Then proposed amendments must then be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures (This is what the ERA failed). The other things, Executive Orders and such, yes, scary thoughts.
Probably Newt Gingrich and his "Contract 'ON' America" too.
Map of and mines around the war. And now you see why Princess Diana made this her life's work. On a personal note, we did a cruise into Tallin, Estonia a few years ago. Only later did I find out the bay the ship went into was one of the most heavily land mined in WWII, and while they've cleared a path for the cruise ships, other boats in the area encounter a mine about once a year. https://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/26209.jpeg
