Okinawa, early 80s. I saw couple of shopkeepers use an abacus. They were faster than me with a calculator.
I didnt show this because of the valor of the Athenians, though they certainly deserve it, but rather for the name of the burial mound in the secondline/second paragraph. Seems fitting.
Imagine standing on the very ground where 192 Athenian warriors made their final stand against the Persian Empire in 490 BC. The Battle of Marathon, fought on the plains of Marathon, Greece, is a pivotal moment in history, symbolizing the resilience and valor of the ancient Greeks.
In the aftermath of this remarkable victory, the Athenians honored their fallen soldiers by constructing a large burial mound, known as a "tumulus" or "Soros," on the battlefield. This monumental structure, approximately 30 feet high and 164 feet wide, was not only a physical tribute but also a symbol of Athenian unity and bravery. Unlike the typical Athenian practice of burying war dead in the Kerameikos cemetery in Athens, the decision to inter the 192 fallen warriors at Marathon was a deliberate act to commemorate their heroism on the very site of their sacrifice.
Excavations of the mound have revealed significant archaeological findings. In 1884, archaeologist Dimitrios Philios uncovered a large layer of ash and charred bones within the mound, confirming that the Athenians had cremated their dead—a practice consistent with ancient Greek funerary customs. Further excavations in 1890 and 1891 by Valerios Stais, and later in 1970 by Spyridon Marinatos, unearthed additional remains and artifacts, including pottery and oil phials, providing valuable insights into the burial practices and the historical context of the battle.

A computer disk started a competition between a neanderthal and cromagnon.
I set a personal best today. Number of consecutive days waking up alive but some of y'all are Olympic. I mean as in you witnessed the first Olympics. Now we know who those social security numbers belong to that DOGE found.
Keep it up and I wil start a bicycle or pitbull theme.

If you don't bob your head to the ending theme of this movie, you suck!
I graduated High School with a dude named George that is way beyond smart. When he was 14 his Dad had a stroke and he basically took over their cattle business and mercantile stores books. In study hall he had a table where he did lots of his book work. He only used an Abacus
This was before computers or fancy calculators.
George graduated first in class from college in 2 years , first in his law school class.
He now is the CEO of some large banks in the South.

I've tried most all of them and I'd like to be one of the sophisticated mayonnaise snobs but on a blind taste test, I couldn't tell you the difference between Duke's, which I currently have in the fridg, Hellmann's and the tangy zip of Miracle whip on a hamburger. Mayo is mayo.
Folgers tastes the same as fresh roasted Blue Mtn beans too!!
And a Ballpark hotdog is just as good as a slow smoked hot link!
Miracle Whip is a crime against humanity.
I was raised on it and my folks still eat it.
I mock their communist ways every time they say they like it more than Duke’s.

Miracle Whip is not Mayo... it's pure evil. 
The Nazi's probably invented Miracle Whip...

I love roller coasters and other shit like this. I also love seeing someone get in over their head and freak out. I was at the amusement park in the side of a mountain in Glenwood Springs, CO and my stepdaughter and I were in line for this giant swing. There was a group of girls in front of us who were talking themselves up for it but I could tell they were a little apprehensive. One girl thought she was going to cheat a bit by sitting facing the mountain instead of facing out over the valley. Well…If you do that, when the swing gets far enough out you end up looking straight down a giant fucking cliff. She got to that point and completely lost her shit. Screaming her face off and probably cracking the seat from squeezing her hands around the armrest so hard. It was the highlight of the entire weekend for me and I tell this story and laugh every chance I get
Edit: I’m sure @powdahound76 can back me up on this too
FIFY.Miracle Whip is not Mayo... it's pure evil.
TheNazi'sDEMOCRATS invented Miracle Whip...
Probably all those Mao/Stalin supporting Democrats
Kraft invented it and John Kerry's wife company still makes it and ships it. They laugh at the serfs that eat it.
"Miracle Whip is a condiment manufactured by Kraft Heinz."

I took the kid to the county fair once. While standing in line for one ride, I saw one of the carnies using a water hose on the seats for another ride.I love roller coasters and other shit like this.

I drew the attention of the lady standing behind me to what the carnie was doing and asked, "what do you think he's doing that for?"
She replied that she didn't know. So I asked her to think about it again. Then she walked over asked the carnie why he was hosing off the seat.
Then he told her as I watched her turn green. He said he usually had to hose the seats off several times a day.
CPS should have been called. No child should should be made to endure the foulness that is Miracle Whip. I hope you have recieved counselling for you childhood trauma.
There are plenty of other manufacturers that make really appealing vehicles like this that cannot be sold here. You can thank the EPA and UAW for this
and the other liberal fear
Diesel hybrids ..........
VW XL1 – 261 mpg
Several years ago Volvo was talking about a diesel hybrid sedan, I think it was a mid-size or larger, and their claim was over 90 mpg. Unfortunately this was right around the time of the EPA hit on the VW tdi so it got axed. Fucking bullshit EPA…
That looks like one of those homemade rat vehicles the Vietnamse cobbled together out of Willis Army Jeeps and scrap metal after the fall of Saigon.
Lack of air bags in sufficient quantity and no ABS are a couple of the things that prevent it from landing here.
The base model is a flat bed and has no air bags at all, you have to pay extra to get the bags and drop sides.
It has about half the HP and torque of a regular Tacoma (there's a reason for that higher MPG) so it would make a good work truck but it's not going to appeal to the average "truck guy".
I hear there are some efforts being made to bring it to market in the US but expect to pay a higher price than $13k once it meets regulations and import taxes. Expect to pay $18k-$22k for one on the lot in America.

Put a locking tool box on that and some bungy straps and I'd drive it. I'd also add wooden sideboards.Lack of air bags in sufficient quantity and no ABS are a couple of the things that prevent it from landing here.
