Androgoneous Spacecraft docking because neither the US or Russia wanted to be the "Female" docking part. I know a lot of stupid Space shit, but I was today years old when I learned this.

Varför är det alltid nånstans mellan 1920 och 1987 i svenska barnprogram? Det är som att det går baklänges dessutom; på 90-talet var det ofta 90-talet på TV, men det är som att de inte klarade av övergången till internet och smartphones.

The real horror of the 1Password situation is I’m not aware of an alternative that even remotely reaches parity for the features I use. Notably, autocomplete and cross platform support are both moving targets that each alone makes it too labour intensive for FLOSS.
