This. I joined LinkedIn a few years ago, and quickly discovered that 1. it is useless unless you spend time there making connections. I don't know if making connections is even useful. And 2. it's boring. So I quit going there. But they sent so many notifications, I had to quit, and they make leaving a rather painful time sink.
I was pretty jarred when he said "back in the '40s and '50s, during the Great Depression..." I shouldn't let it bother me, but history classes aren't what they should be.
Last month, we almost had a five-day string of holidays, with Friday the 13th, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, Lunar New Year, and Ash Wednesday, but alas, that was broken up by February 15th in the middle.

I went to the same library the whole time I was growing up. They used numbers instead of names. I eventually learned to check the card in each book, and if there was a 1600, that's means I had read it before. If there was a 1599, that means my mother had read it. I left town and moved back 15 years later, and the scheme still held up.
