I have a smallpox scar on the back of my arm and I didn't even know it was there.

We got the shots in school and I have faint memories of the Jet Injector. Most scars of people my age are on the side of the arm up near the shoulder. I didn't have one so for years I assumed I didn't get the vaccine or my memory of it was wrong.

Then one day in the shower my girlfriend pointed it out. It's around the backside of the arm and hard to see in a mirror - but it's there.

I feel kind of special having it as it isn't that common these days.

I'm the same age. I never knew anyone who had measles EXCEPT older people who told stories of it. I never knew anyone who had it whilst I knew them.

On the flip side, we attended chickenpox parties to get infected. Of course this was before the vaccination and knowing more about Shingles. All the folklore knew was one you get chickenpox, you never get it again and it's better to have it as a child than adult.

I think I agree with most comments here.

He's usually right and I agree with him, I just find him a little hard to watch. His videos are a bit long winded.

I 100% support him. I think his heart and mind are in the right place.

Oregonos sounds like part of a complete breakfast.

Those kid size cages at gitmo aren't going to use themselves.

A Tesla owner who wraps the vehicles for a living has come up with a hypothesis as to why his truck lost a piece of its bodywork at speed.

The car is shit and poorly built. I don't think there is much of a mystery here.

I'm kind of ok with that.

I usually have a little milk around the house for cooking sauces and things. Something like soy or almond milk don't make good substitutes. I can't remember the last time I just drank a glass of milk.

You can download all the old Netscapes here - http://home.mcom.com/archives/

I found Mosaic 1 here - https://winworldpc.com/product/ncsa-mosaic/1

Going from Netscape 1 to Netscape 2 which supported animated gifs. What a day that was!

Mosaic was awesome. Netscape 1 was pretty cool, but Netscape 2 and animated gifs... zowie! That was a day to remember.
