Personally, I'm more worried about the risks and hazards of being exposed to the extreme junk published by the New York Times.

The poem may be clever, but the author is clueless.

_Considerably_ overstating the incident, but hey, it makes headlines. And the security guy fired a bunch of shots and didn't hit the guy - again. Who's training these people>

Ha! Sounds like some of the comments I write on social media as I re-think the effect, whether the autobot moderation system will strike it, look up information on the subject on the 'net and revise it with corrections, and finally give it up and go get coffee instead.

The web and HTTP were Johnny-come-latelies. There were multiple other popular public query and database systems, and Doug Engelbart's NLS system which could have become the Web if properly understood and funded. The web was essentially a fusion of all those systems.

And, of course, in 1970 and a bit later, there was no such thing as a mobile phone or web access - the Internet didn't even exist, although the ARPANet precursor and the invention of email manifested in the mid-1970's. Those two things probably changed the world.

Is that somehow worse than burning wood or coal oil in your living room? The fireboxes in the Victorian gingerbready house we had in the mid 1970's were apparently designed to burn coal. It was easier to handle than cordwood, burned longer, and probably had a higher heat index per cube.

Better to enforce the laws on correctly-aimed headlights and when not/to use high beams. There's nothing wrong with LED headlights in and of themselves.

Or, you could put more shevles in and use the extra vertical space that way.
