Meant to mention this three days ago, but 100 years ago, on October 20, 1925, these two twenty-somethings got married!

Finally about to pull the trigger and transfer my LOTRO characters to the 64-bit server. Which (NA) server are y'all on, on the off chance I pick it up again and want someone to play with?

You will, because I do. My mom loved the Minions. The night after she died, I watched Despicable Me 2. This was her car, four years after she passed away and I visited my dad.

Milkmen? Replaced by refrigeration.
Assembly-line workers? Replaced by robots.
Humans used to replace bowling pins, too. Now machines do it.
All these machines provided equal or better service than the actual humans did, so consumers didn't care that they cost people their jobs. (3/7)

Proof: Remember switchboard operators? Of course you don't. They all lost their jobs when automatic switchboards became a thing. They worked great, so consumers were happy with them and didn't mourn the loss of the operators. (2/7)
