Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • It's in OP's article

  • I think in 1925 their ability to cushion big hunks of glass was lower, and they didn't have safety glass. It was probably a good call, even though it was a cool idea.

  • Yep. Bart Simpson heading that direction, too.

  • I went downstairs and took one just for you:

    His thing was that he didn't want obvious electric lights in the lobby because Aztecs didn't have electric lights. But it was decided that giant glass columns in earthquake country in the 20s was a bad idea, so they didn't do it

  • My dad was friends with the guy who designed the Aztec Hotel. He didn't want regular light fixtures originally, so he came up with an idea for lighted columns, and he made a prototype table-lamp sized. The was in 1925. The prototype is in my living room and I use it every day.

  • I don't know, I hear conflicting stories, and all the positive ones are from long ago.

  • Doing some looking around, looks like this is a page from Betty and Veronica #201, which was published in 1972. Also, the one posted has been colorized, it was originally black and white.

  • They're attractive, but they also have a much bigger problem with gaskets getting moldy, and I personally think getting clothes in and out of a top-loading is more convenient unless they're stacked.

  • Usually only on front-loading models so you can see if there's water in it before trying to open the door.

  • English teachers: 😢

  • Yeah, good point. I can't think of anything I had as a kid that would be drastically improved with modern batteries, but for sure cordless power tools are a big change. I have a cordless electric chainsaw - that wouldn't have been feasible in the 70s.

  • Are batteries that much different? I was born in the early 60s, and the batteries my toys used seemed like the same AAA, AA, C, and D batteries we use mostly today. I think the key difference is that a lot of things take a lot less energy than they used to.

  • I feel like this just be a visual illustration of a pun out some song lyrics, but I'm not getting them.
