Paladinus posted:Improvise, surprise, disguise, advise, etc. ah, improvise is def one that is usually spelled that way, tho i think i'll be spelling it improvize from now on. i don't think that the rest of those are the same morpheme tho.

If Master & Commander has taught me anything it's that "surprize" is the older spelling anyway and "surprise" is the neologism

Before that I thought they took regular pumpkin seeds, shelled them and then sold them. it was very exciting Well heck. I never knew this existed. I always assumed they were shelled in the process. I'll have to add one of these to my garden. Love some pepitas. We always brine and roast the regular ones, those are good too.

Real website was (and still is) whitehouse.gov, but .com or .org or something like that was a porn site.

Maryland has about 3/4 of a million of these license plates with the URL now leading to a foreign gambling site thanks to someone loving up https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2023/06/02/maryland-license-plates-philippines-gambling/ It's also just a terribly ugly design because Fort McHenry is not particularly interesting to look at from the side, but is much cooler from the air

Long time ago, I helped out in a community college level class for credit, it was a "Intro to the Internet" and was around..1999 I think. Class had a pretty huge age range, but mostly skewed older. Anyway, teacher was going over how important it was to doublecheck addresses, and how important it was to get .com/.net and such right. He mentions whitehouse.com and immediately some older lady in there puts that in and learns and important lesson that day. The next class, she mentions in passing that she went back when she was home as the site was very patriotic, but mentioned on dialup it was too slow.

Nostalgamus posted:Wasn't there also a "hotmale.com"? Wouldn't doubt it. Back in those days, I worked with a nice dude in his late 60's who became obsessed with eBay. Didn't know anything else about the internet, but loved to go window shopping on there. One day he sits down at the pc, and next thing he's hollering "Hey! Hey! What are all these little windows? Help?!" I look over and he's got porn pop-ups coming faster than he can whack-a-mole them. He'd typo-ed in ebnay.com, which led you to Fuckingham Palace. For the next 10 years I worked there, we teased him when he'd use the computer, "Going to visit the Palace, huh?" (He was a good sport and found the whole thing funny.)
