So, San Diego makes the list but Tia Juana does not?

ATT knew that existing technology in the 60s would ever make the picture phone viable. They tasked Bell Labs to create a new device for capturing light and turning it into digital signals. This resulted in the CCD (which is at the core of every current digital camera) and a Nobel Prize.

They better thank the casino! Where I bowled, if you lofted a ball, you were suspended for the day.

What is scary to me is the quality of the night vision video. The first time I used an infrared camera, it was cooled with argon and cost $25,000. I installed night vision security cameras 15 years ago for $200 apiece. Now one can buy an IR camera that attaches to a smartphone for the same price and the quality is almost as good as this.

I call BS on this. When I travel over seas, food portions are far larger than in the US.
I remember eating out over the last 50+ years and among fast food, family dining and full service restaurant food portions have gotten much smaller.
Perhaps we are ordering more portions, but basic meals have gotten tiny compared to the sixties.

To vote on a technical Oscar, one had to have been a previous winner or be voted into the academy by previous winners. Only directors voted on best director, cinematographers on best cinematography, etc. This has changed recently with about 6,000 members, but the Oscars are still for the industry by the industry.
Contrast that with the Golden Globes where only 100 people vote for everything.

One reason to give someplace a one-star review is because no one reads three-star reviews. The reviews of Crater Lake and Yosemite might actually be appropriate.

When a relative was alive and a member of The Academy, he would laugh at any attempt to popularize industry awards. Most of the Oscars go to technical people or groups and are only voted in by others in their field. Everyone in the Academy could vote on the Big Five, however. Back then, there were only 1,700 total members and, for example, Best Costumes were decided by only six people.

I thought the “hang back and come in when needed” stunt was brilliant.

Miss C, I am sure you could have done that back in the day.

So, who is the troll? The original poster or the ones pretending he needs to be corrected?

Ever had to clean cat fur out of a treadmill? My advice, throw it away (the treadmill, not the cat)

It is almost as if the author used Neatorama as his source material.
