How did they display the lecture slides on the in-classroom television in those days?


Most likely using overhead projectors.

It was quite some "fun" doing the printouts, and playing around to get them to display properly.


Good question and answer.

>It was quite some "fun" doing the printouts, and playing around to get them to display properly.

Ha ha, good one. I never had to do it (or had the privilege of doing it, depending on one's point of view), but saw it being done some (as a junior), for internal or client presentations at companies where I worked earlier. Another name for it was "transparencies", IIRC. Ugh. Fiddly stuff. Something like the difference between writing articles or books on paper (or typewriter) versus using a wordprocessor or text editor, with all the attendant slowness and rework in the former cases.


The problem with transliterating names is that there often isn't only one way of pronouncing them.

For example, every Saoirse I know pronounces it "sur-sha".


He means that without any humans left, the only ones left to influence the country will be the wildlife.


Ok


"I wore this to the gym 3 days in a row. No smell. No itch."

"In a pinch, I can wash things in the shower too."

"I've worn the merino tee for ~10 days straight with no smell though."

"As a (fragrant) side note, I've haven't used soap or shampoo for two years."

I hate to break it to you dude, but I guarantee that you smell to high heaven and you've just gotten used to it.


While the gym thing seems a bit of a stretch, some people just have less of a smell than others.


No you can't. Look at the web.


It's amazing how many of these integral tools that we've relied on for a long time are maintained by selfless individuals in their basements. Fantastic.


> I "expect" they will like what I show them.

Have you met a child before?


Clubs from Mexico participate in the Copa Libertadores. Mexico is in CONCACAF (as is the USA). That could be the connection.


The connection is that CONCACAF has their headquarters in Miami, FL


You're right. How dare we have fun on the internet!?
