@knapjack @DorotheaLange You'll still see a scene much like that outside the Baughman's in Livermore to this day. Here's a photo I took circa 2012.
I've just learned that my parents wash out and re-use paper coffee cups. I called them "pretty eco" to tease them about it... apparently my dad prefers to drink from a paper cup rather than a travel mug, and my mom likes to use them as a receptacle for cooking grease.

@larsbrinkhoff @dpk He tried really hard to inflict some ITS stuff on us too, though -- remember when all the GNU man pages were little stubs pointing you at the goddamn info system?

@cks @Talen_Lee Job sounds interesting but I'm worried you might implement a RTO (Return To Orlop) policy which would be a deal-breaker.

@jbcrawford Sorry to hear Shooting Range Park is in bad shape, I always really admired it when I lived in the area. Nice and big, not expensive, and they were pretty good about enforcing safety whenever I visited. I loved the Bosque trails, both on foot and on a bicycle, and I'd hate to see them turn into unofficial OHV parks where a kid can't safely walk... so I'm really glad to hear you don't think that will happen! You're right that there's plenty of space elsewhere that's way more conducive anyway.

@jbcrawford Is there any enforcement at all? Here in the SF area it's assholes going 35 on electric dirtbikes (with fig-leaf pedals) all over the walking trails, sidewalks, etc.

@masinter Despite the name, the Kensington Expert Mouse is a trackball... but I do find it pretty effective. It's got 4 buttons, real buttons. Otherwise, I've also spent a lot of time using a Logitech 3-button PS/2 mouse plugged into a USB converter. Comedy option, build your own: https://jfloren.net/bellwether.html

I liked working in technology a lot more when the industry felt amoral rather than immoral.
People don't usually act/vote against their own interests, they act against what you think should be their own interests.
