I went to a well funded school in New England, this was period correct even as late as 2013. For VHS especially these carts were still in use, but starting in maybe 2007/2008 some teachers would use their computer + VGA projector setup for DVDs. Especially since there weren't enough carts to go around

There was literally an interview with Bill Gates published yesterday where he was saying he was optimistic since Trump appeared to be listening when he discussed the global AIDS pandemic over dinner.

So much for that I guess.

Wish they went back to chicle and somehow the flavor would last longer

If you're referring to Burdick, then you have it backwards. Burdick explicitly states that a pardon carries an "imputation of guilt" and that accepting the pardon is "a confession to it".

Rare was basically a second party developer back in those days. They were given access to internal tools from Nintendo, a direct hotline for help, hell they even developed Nintendo IPs, which was unheard of for a western developer and is still rare even today

I'd absolutely put Hemispheres in there too. The first track of Hemispheres is a direct sequel to the last track of Farewell to Kings. Also Xanadu from Hemispheres is very much a fantasy song.

The 3:15 on the alarm clock is a nice touch

Same here, im fine with either of the Eartha Kitt versions, the Madonna version and the others are a lot more obnoxious

Those labels only apply in California. If you're in another state you're fine.

This is what blends are. I often will add a touch of medium roast to a dark roast to dial back some of the harshness, or add a South American medium roast to an African single origin to round out the acidity
