Failure to understand this leads to no end of argument from unproductive ideological or political positions. People want to take one cause in the loop or system and focus blame on that particular group or circumstance. Blame is so counterproductive for solving most of our problems, but our culture is just increasingly programmed for it.

There's also systems for digitizing this, if you want to be able to just upload and edit it later.

I'd go with "the Antarctic's Weddell Sea".

Assuming the wiring is still in place but no longer hooked up to the phone network, there are things you could do with that:

I could be mistaken, but I think I remember (from back in the day when it was more common) their being ways to use phone wiring to network computers, or send a signal from an amp to speakers in room (I have some doubts about the latter, since speaker wire normally a lot heavier than phone wire).

Doorbell or intercom is another thing that you could use it to connect between rooms. You could even rig up old phones between rooms (without being on the phone network), though you'd need to supply power and maybe jury rig a button to ring them across the line.

If you had use for some other kind of wiring, the wires could possibly be handy for pulling the new wires through the wall.

The algorithm seems to have gotten progressively worse in terms of just continuing to show you the same stuff, especially recently. What it recommends me isn't worse, just more repetitive. A page refresh doesn't make much change.

Privacy is the least of it, its just a means to an end for then. They are shaping our entire culture.

It might change how much people like it. But I don't think you should confuse good with popularity.

Is that really his caption, or did an accessibility caption get placed under it like it was the real caption?

Sounds pretty good to me, except for the spinach (though tbh I probably wouldn't notice it with all that other stuff).
