Lol. When Urgences-santé was first cobbled together in late 1981, their HQ, including dispatchers, was at 3725 Saint-Denis. That it was the former institute for the deaf and mute was endlessly amusing to those of us that worked for private ambulance co's that “CCUS” contracted with.

I feel superannuated because I used to carry my schoolbooks around secured by a big rubber strap I bought at the school store and no one I work with has even heard of these in 2025.

Does anyone else remember the time when those who could afford a #webcam and had #xDSL instead of the others who still had 56k dialup, had websites with a tiny image from their webcam that updated every minute or more?

One of those sites was #dansaa.com, I had no idea who this Chelsea was but watching her and her friends partying out in front of the camera was something so new and amazing I couldn't stop watching the "stream".

Random memory of life before the internet.

In the early 1980s I discovered the existence and general shenanigans of the Society of Creative Anachronism by reading a couple of copies of a poorly-printed magazine published by the Kingdom Of The West that I found in a cardboard box of free-please-take trash outside a used bookstore.

The nearest chapter was at least 500 miles from my house. I never was an SCA member, but those weird zines made me a fan!

The 1980s & 1990s want their progress bar back.

No idea why I just remembered it, but I used to be a special correspondent for Morrock News. Back in the late 90s or early 00s. When news was more than a political façade.

@aliide @sarajw @liilliil No can do! You all have to find your own #Iranian #Bat #Breeder - It's a #Mastodon #RightOfPassage from the #OldenDays when #Hashtags were purely numeric and people made #Obscure #IRC #References like you can't do on #Threads :)

Also I just saw there was a #HashtagGames hashtag. Cute.

@ADCtv I'd forgotten they used to play out with The Anthem #oldendays

In the olden days we didn’t have Apple Watches to tell us to move every hour - all we had was our grandmothers chasing us with a wooden spoon telling us to go outside #OldenDays

Stumbled across this post from January 2009 about musicians on twitter. The idea of being able to interact with your heroes was new and exciting. The comments are amusing.
