Was thinking about this today. Windows installs (by default) to C-drive, "C:\" It's called that because early computers had up to two floppy drives, "A:\" & "B:\". Software developers hard-coded that into early programs & then it just became the default assumption, even after floppies went away.

I think this is a 1980 IBM PC, an ancient computer with two 5.25" floppy drives, a proper CRT that probably weighed 35 lbs, and a massive keyboard built from a typewriter layout.

Sat next to a crying baby for the entire flight. I don't mind though. Feel like they were the only other passenger who truly grasped the unnatural horror of our undertaking. Man does not belong to the sky. The real monsters are those who remain silent.

Urbanist Don Draper. If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation. They call the 15-minute city a prison. It’s not a perimeter, it’s time. Time you get back from the highway. Time to drink a coffee on a patio. You aren't trapped. You're finally home.
