Speaking of dick pills. I keep hearing about ED. Erectile Dysfunction. Is this real? Like, dudes can't get erections? Or are they just bored of their wives?

People probably underestimate the influence of the microcontroller, they're in bloody everything now. Cars have hundreds, your keys have them, they're in switches and washing machines, toasters and kettles, in batteries. In your modern life you probably touch something with a microcontroller in it every few minutes. Once they were just for computers, now they're in everything.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Yeah, I’ve seen houses built in the 1950s without plumbing or electricity and were later retrofitted with electrical conduit and water pipes running along the walls.

I’d call that a modern convenience.

Southern California, specifically Imperial Valley where my dad was born and worked the fields as a kid in the 1950s. Simple Bracero houses and the like for produce pickers. A lot of the homes got water from wells fed by the canals and not much else.

Not exactly answering the question but just the sheer number of mod cons that are available for consumption immediately. Like, hundreds of generations passed with very little change. Most people lived exactly the same way their great great great great grandparents did. Boring!
