I never experienced the 1970's. Tell me something good or bad that you experienced from that decade that doesn't exist anymore. Could be just personal stuff, boosts appreciated.

bad: lots of stray and free roaming dogs or dogs left out in gardens - that and public information films about rabies made me fearful of dogs for a while as a kid.

If you’re really interested you should read Scarred for Life Volume 1:

Cars designed with no thought at all toward fuel economy.
Fuel was so cheap before the mid 70s(?) that there was basically no incentive to seek economy. Our family for a while had a 1972 Chrysler Newport Royal.

Ours was brown, with a 440 cubic inch engine. That's more than 7 liters. It would cost a fortune to drive today. I'm sure it would have had an mpg rating on the single digits.

The engine was loud and while it could produce a lot of power, it was very slow to respond to the accelerator.



The Demon Hunter show was so good last night. I was less than 30 feet from the stage. Lots of metal core screaming. I felt like I fit in with this group of misfit christians. All 4 bands that played were christian and made a point to make that evident between a few songs.
I'll be going again. 🤙

Good evening, y'all. I took the top of the Jeep for the first time. I couldn't ever be confident it wouldn't rain for an extended period of time and I haven't bought a soft top yet. Nor do I have a garage. It's not supposed to rain for a week. I cruised around the whole county today. It was a blast. Skillet playing loud. There's something freeing about driving around with the wind blowing all around.

Please forgive me if you are receiving several connection requests from multiple accounts of mine. I am simply trying out new Fediverse software and don't mean to SPAM my friends.


I am testing some Friendica settings. Feel free to react or say hi. Or not. It's cool. 😎
in reply to Jas Bird

On all accounts? I don't think I'm having an issue here. I'm seeing main posts with reply comments underneath.
in reply to Christopher on Friendica

Not on all. But my comments aren't seen, apparently. Happens enough it's frustrating. Another Friendica account I have, joined back when, is also that way.
But then I see this on other software too.

I like the Friendica UI. However it stores a massive amount of data per user. I tested it with just one local user account and it stored gigabytes in the database in just a few days. Multi-user would likely have needed several terabytes storage.

in reply to OCTADE

@OCTADE I'm really torn between Friendica and Forte. I'm not terribly concerned about the storage issue. I'm fortunate to have plenty of resources on my server. Hubzilla and Streams are also great, though.
