Dune (the novel) was published in 1965.

I get nostalgic thinking about WC2 on the Mac. I was a teen then, and loved Blizzard for putting the effort into a Mac release. I don't remember how I found IRC and #macwarcraft, but between dial-up internet, coordinating games on an IRC channel, trading IP's, and submitting game results to manual leaderboards, clan wars, trash talking, etc. What a great time it was :)

I'm a huge critic of the mouse with the charger port on bottom, but that was the 2nd gen magic mouse released in 2015. Is there another mouse that had charger port on bottom?

The 1st gen from 2009 used AA batteries.

I wonder if someone made a mistake with unit conversions... The next paragraph says:

> The results: over half of the eggs broke when dropped vertically from an 8-millimeter (31-inch) height

31 inches is 0.8m, not 8mm. Maybe they meant to say 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 meters? Strange.

Can you clarify how it is easy to get out of a ticket afterwards?

In my experience from sitting in a traffic court a couple times (in Washington state), the only people who get out of a ticket are those who have squeaky clean driving records for 10+ years, and those who have lawyers. But most people can't afford lawyers for traffic violations.

I quit my job two years and four months ago. I'd worked non-stop for twenty years (10+ at the last company) and was getting three weeks of vacation time per year. I'm in my 40's and finally decided that I wanted to enjoy some of life while my body was still in shape. Watching the savings drain out is hard, but what's harder is thinking about going back to the grind and never having any time for myself again.
