  • In college could get email, irc, and newsgroups via commandline and there were some networked games like this tank one and avatar on the plato/novanet system. I was talking with someone from china on irc and it was so wild. People would drop out of school do to irc addiction. Chatting all hours of the day in the computer room. Nothing but text but given there was nothing before it was amazing even though it sounds like such weak sauce nowadays.





  • I don’t think the cold water on a hot day is about flavor. Its just as flavorless as its ever been. Its neutral and you can’t get away from that without flavoring it. Bad water can taste aweful but the best is just going to be neutral. We like the taste of acidic things for some reason. Not sure why. The cold water when hot is more a craving and if for some reason you can’t get ice cold water but you can soda. Even if your not a soda drinker you may guzzle the icey drink.




  • I grew up in a large working class family (7 kids) and the best example I could give for it is the main character of caddy shack where you can see the house in start. It was not really that hectic though as you had older kids and younger kids and parents had different schedules but my mom was a bit of a horder so you would need to fill it up more like the rosanne house. I say working class and from my understanding of it is its a bit between poor and middle class. Its like you have a roof over your head and food in your belly and your getting to school but you can’t really have much “luxury” unless your parents want to risk their future solvency. This is why various addicitons can easily drop it down to poverty. Gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc. The lifestyle is adequate but can’t take to many challenges.


  • The intense, intense, like your feeling pretty much dies down after closing and you can get a bit of a high having your own place. Assuming its a fixer upper (I have no basis for anything else given affordability in my lifetime) you will unfortunately get headaches with repairs and refurbishing and taxes and all that good stuff. Assuming you bought something you could afford with a 15 year fixed (now you see why my experiences are with fixer uppers) but got a 30 year fixed but overpaying on a 15 year timeline you will have a nice feeling knowing you can drop down to pay the minimum if things are tough and then if you can keep the overpayments going for 5 years or so you will get to the point where its almost impossible to be underwater which is a great feeling. If you have assesments (I have never had something with its own private lot) you can find that the taxes and assesments alone can be pretty close to what rent would be depending on how crazy or reasonable the rental market it but at least it stays stable at or below what rent would be so that is nice, but it never just goes away as an expense and even if you have your own plot if you are not spending what typical assesments are for upkeep then you are likely letting your place go.
