Mid to late 90s in regional Australia. First terrible dialup and then a government subsidised asymmetric dialup/satellite hybrid. You'd click something and wait a bit while the request went out at 28.8k then the response would come back much faster than the 486dx could handle it.

Search mostly sucked but Lycos knew where all the porn was and Jeeves was ok for other things.

"Shaving" with hair clippers or a beard trimmer is adequate for any work or social situation I've been in for the last 20+ years.

I've been using the same set of cheap hair clippers on head and beard for almost 10 years.

No razors, no paying for haircuts, no shaving cream, no cuts, no razor burn.

How is the boiling point of water relevant to something that's made of plastic and metal?

Freestyle skiing, snowboarding, skating, bmx, motocross, mountain bike etc says you're wrong.

While it's possible to compete in events for most or all of those things competition is only a tiny part of it.

That series is good but not great as writing (IMO, of course) but I think would be incredible on screen. Film or high budget TV series could both work.

You can still buy 1920x1200 monitors, I have two that are less than 5 years old.

Absolutely worth it for remotely accessing 1920x1080 systems.

HyperX Cloud Stinger.

It can be a bit warm but it's comfortable and the battery lasts for ever between charges.

You don't need to pay them, you can self host or use Dropbox or something.
