Old trade beads can sometimes be found, old stashes and caches. Pony beads, seed beads, and others.
They were traded/used as "money". The Hudson's Bay Company brought millions of them to this continent.
My Grandfather was around in the early days, had a ham call sign from the early 1930s and was involved in the Manhattan Project as a senior non-scientific engineer.
He was also involved in the development of radar/microwave comms after the war.
He and colleagues did the same - warming their hands in front of microwave antennae.
He developed and later died of some unknown neurological issues related to nerve transmission in the early 1990s.
He had been exposed to so many different possible dangers that it's impossible to tell.
After he died I helped clean out and save/donate the double-garage full of ham equipment and home-built telescopes - one was ~.75metre diameter and ~3 metres long, just huge - I was just a teen and let most of it go as my grandmother didn't care by then.
There were also many containers of classified documents, related to WWII and after. Those were appropriately dealt with.
I've always HAD microwaves but have been aware of the issues.
I'm a ham as well and still occasionally use the morse key he gave me when I was 7. Still miss him, he taught me so much.
I don't mind music-on-hold as much except when they break with a human voice at intervals saying inane things such as "your call is important to us. Thank you for holding" Which makes me think the call has been answered.
If there's not actual call queue information, just play music so I can ignore it and continue working without that NOP interrupt.
the buttons jumping up and down when correct or incorrect is jarring on my smaller screen, forcing a constant space there or moving the message would be a smoother UX, in my opinion.
I personally have been using "Auto Tab Discard" for years. It works perfectly for me, and you can set a group of tabs to not unload. It has a ton of options.
I have ~320 tabs open right now, for multiple projects and only ~5 are loaded.
Dendrochronology (dating cut trees via counting rings/size/ratios) has its own subjective interpretations, and different databases that don't always line up.
I remember seeing women on the sides of the highway in one part of town gathering plants to eat, there's plenty of edible stuff out there, and my parents telling me they were refugees. Must have been in '74/'75 and I was a wee lad. In a Southern state.
My parents were PhDs from Berkley and UCLA who got positions in the south so it was a weird time and place. For everyone.
The hate for the GDPR I read of is actually about the "allow cookie" popups that aren't needed at all are are just a form of protest by those individual sites because they are storing and selling personal information including IP addresses.
If you aren't engaged in those practices then there's no need for any GDPR annoyances for users.
I worked in a place where the waitresses tipped out to the kitchen, and everyone got some of the money - including the dishdogs. It was a union (UFCW) restaurant. Cheap health insurance and 2 weeks paid vacation after 2 years, 4 weeks paid after 7 years. Not bad benefits for restaurant work.
This was a while back though.
Glad I saw this - I thought it was some local issue.
Amazingly laggy for me with firefox/Debian 12.
I restarted firefox thinking it was the problem, apparently not.
Very high CPU usage as well.
