It’s not that internet explorer was good that made it successful, it was packaged with windows where Netscape wasn’t. People used the one that was already on their computer, then as they got market share they extended http to encourage sites to make stuff that wouldn’t work in Netscape, and couldn’t due to patents

if you collected all the old

The old parts were broken or rotten, you can’t make a ship out of them

Bicycles are very much their frame. They aren’t analogous to a wooden ship whose wood is replaced piece by piece over time

The web was pretty small in the '90s

I spent my time in newsgroups in role playing game flame wars

“Ok, a pair of iron boots for that ingot… actually I think I’ll keep those”

Eweslest?

A male couple who both prefer one side or the other can swap on whatever schedule they want. At least that was how it worked it while I was with another man who also preferred the submissive role

CyclingAbout reported pretty fairly on the 29ers. Efficiency and speed. Like everything in cycling the differences were marginal.

Since their view would always be through glass, they’d say it was all a simulation

The system I work on uses “Y” and “N”.

2 digit year. Good luck visiting anywhen outside 1900 and 1999

Ours are the right size for throwing a rock the right weight to throw

The dino the book and film were based on was utahraptor, they called it velociraptor because it’s a better name
