  • Totally agree. For-profit platforms won't exist if they can't generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.

  • How did people tell time at night before clocks?
  • Precise time came to humanity with the railroad. Until then no one cared very much about whether it was 11:35 PM or "around midnight" or "way past bedtime." Train timetables were the first thing that made minutes matter to the general public.

    Mariners cared about time and preferred to be as precise as possible, but did pretty well telling local time by the stars. Finding longitude was a problem until good clocks came aling though.

  • I got a complete set of dishes, settin for six, from grocery rewards as recently as the early 2000's. It was from Safeway I think. Not long after that they did cookware, and I got a few pieces before they stopped the program.

    I eventually gave away the dishes, but still have the cookware. It's pretty good stuff.
