Yeah, the part about "our modern view of it" is spot on. I read an article a while back about how it actually worked pretty well for its time. It let you ask full questions instead of just typing keywords. It feels silly now because Google got so much better, but back then it wasn't a total joke. It was just a different way to try and find stuff online that made sense to people. We look back and laugh because the tech moved so fast.

Oh man, that's a great way to start a small kitchen fire. You're supposed to spray the food, not the basket itself.

Yeah, it's a weird take. Means you'd miss out on all the great shows still running. What about stuff like Severance? That story is barely started but it's amazing. Seems like a rule that cuts out too much good TV.

I set a calendar reminder for every other Friday to text two people I haven't spoken to in a while. It's not a sales pitch, just a genuine check-in to see how they're doing. That regular, low-pressure contact has kept more conversations alive than any big networking event for me. It feels less like a chore and more like just catching up with folks.
