It was a distributed way to fund media instead of banner ads. I think it would have been a tough sell, but imagine if all the 30% stakes that PayPal, Apple, Patreon, take were direct to creators?

This of course would all depend on a reliable search engine that could actually find things worth supporting.

Instead we had Geocities and Live Journal jamming ads all over to make it a “free” service, until it wasn’t. Now we have Google, TikTok and Facebook to replace them but that could turn it all off whenever they want.

We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).

Yeah we called them personal days, s as long as nothing was due that day it was ok to use them for any reason.

Imagine the voxels on that one.

Roller blades had four wheels though.

I vote for Threelies.

Unless it’s tin whiskers from the early lead free solder…

Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.

My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.
