ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

THE DAUGHTER OF DAWN (1920) was significant in that its cast was entirely Indigenous. Thought lost for decades, a single copy of this independent production showed up in Oklahoma, where it had been shot, but the owner was holding out for a million dollar payout.

Prior to Blockbuster eating the market before becoming Netflix chum itself, video stores were seen as THE small business opportunity and they flourished. My small town had at least 8 at any given time.
They always smelled like those thick plastic cases and were usually festooned in posters.

Friday nights used to be Go to the Video Store Night and there was a whole strategy and timing to it and our entire society has broken down since we replaced it with Try to Figure Out What to Stream by Yourself While Also Scrolling on Your Phone y/n?

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
