Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

Totally worth the watch. It’s so fascinating to see the differences, but more so the similarities, between then and now.

Even though that age had its share of war, sorrow, infirmity, and so on, I have to wonder if there wasn’t a sense of optimism from all of the rapid progress in science and technology. I doubt any of these people saw a world war coming in just two decades and a shakeup of the world order, the death of empires, and so forth.

One of my hobbies is collecting pocket watches and my favorite, a ladies Elgin in an ornate gold plated case, was manufactured about a decade before these films were made. It is wild to think this watch could have been worn by someone in these films and then surviving so many years and so much change yet still ticking away and keeping time to this day.

It’s on my list to do this at some point.

Speaking of radio… Any ham people on here?

Totally agree.

Ok, folks, one of us needs to do a PR on this app to implement this fella’s feature request!

Maybe in my old age, I have mellowed out and realized, like everyone else, I can be a dummy at times. And so I am a hell of a lot more patient with users who don’t know everything (or much of anything). I also have become more interested in human factors (mostly as a spectator…or victim).

Looking at this I am actually kind of curious what their specific workflows are. While “cut” might do the trick if I had to cut and paste files to a bunch of different directories I would want to bash my head in. (Of course I would be using Linux, btw, and would do it at the shell prompt lol) But seriously, there is a better way to reorganize many files to many directories in a UI than cut/paste.

When I was 25, and an insufferably arrogant IT nerd, I would’ve downvoted you and mocked this hapless individual; I hang my head in shame thinking about who I used to be. :( I’ve come a long way. I’m not as arrogant… I’m just insufferable! \o/

Here. 150,000 transistors. Get to work.

Polydactyl? Or how did they manage that?

No need… Those on the list can object and I’m sure the judge will remove their names if they’re powerful enough.

Welp, time for a new language!

But not The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Presumably you mean The Civil Rights Act of 1968?

I’d like to point out that while some things about the assassination of MLK don’t add up, conspiracy theories don’t agree about exactly who was behind the assassination. A civil case in 1999 pointed to the Mafia and Nashville law enforcement, for example.

Although there isn’t sufficient evidence, I think, to draw a solid conclusion about any of these theories, I don’t think they are outside the realm of plausibility.

After all, the FBI had expended quite a bit of effort to discredit MLK. They had mailed alleged sex tapes to King with a letter urging him to kill himself. And we now know that the FBI had put together a dossier of unverified claims. It’s also well known King was wiretapped on the word of J E Hoover since 1963 and surveilled since 1956.

As threatened as racists in power were by MLK, it isn’t a huge stretch to imagine one of the more corrupt ones going farther than simply attempting to discredit him or push him to suicide, since those tactics didn’t work.

Exactly.

Also I think it is also clear which people commenting here agree with you and which think it’s perfectly ok to sexually assault others.

I think that’s absolutely true but also a position of power is gonna attract the power hungry. A position permitted to use violence …

Well the longer this goes the fewer people will have to get on the same page.
