Not my.picture, but I found three in a junk store and snapped them up. I love my cubes.

I have a couple OXO brand ice trays. They have a silicone cover so you don't have to worry about them spilling if they aren't totally upright. I don't have an icemaker; these are what I use and I really like them. I just turn them upside down and run water over them for maybe 5 seconds and the cubes come right out.

I have those. I twist ever so slightly to get them out.

We have an icemaker on the fridge but it isn't connected to anything, so every week or so we just buy a bag of ice and dump it in there. The icemaker has no idea how the ice gets there, it just spits it out of the door on command.

As an engineer, I love this!

As a tea drinker, so do I!

Didn’t realize 7/11 started in 1927:

And 50 years later, I managed a 7-11 by the Newport Pier in Newport Beach. My favorite parts of the job were having cars of idiot beachgoers towed out of our parking lot, and lying about the weather to callers too lazy or cheap to check a newspaper report.

What a wonderful journey down musical memory lane.

Right now, the whole idea of a buffet seems nostalgic. Not that I really miss them.

Intersting to recall my teen years. Especially seeing the video clips. Back in those days general TV was still a rareity until the beginning of 1970s, the first colour models only starting to turn up (in my recolection) around the first moon landing. All music was sold and shared on 45's single track, later ones with a B side, some bootleggged over to tape reels (the cassette had not yet been invented).

some more detail..

In the US, color TV (ignoring the CBS whirling dervish) was introduced in 1954/1955, but didn't really start taking off until maybe '63/'64, and in '65 the networks started seriously doing color programming and black-and-white headed for second-set territory. Our first color TV was a ~1965 Westinghouse (with the new-fangled "rectangular" picture tube), because my aunt had Westinghouse employee discount.

What we think of as the "cassette" came out in 1963 (Europe) - 1964 (US), but didn't really take off as a music medium until the early 1970s. Just a few months after I got my first car (a 1964 valiant) in 1974 I installed an am/fm/cassette player in it, so by then the cassette was firmly accepted.

But before there was the "compact cassette" ... there was the not-so-compact cassette:

Two things about this slidshow:

1) The Venice Beach photo at around 30 seconds in - I stayed in that building on the 2nd floor for a week or so in the early 70's. A friend was renting it for the summer.

2) The photo purporting to be a photo of "Delta Tau Chi" Fraternity in 1962 (at around 5:50 or so) is actually a cast publicity photo from the 1978 movie "Animal House". (In fact there is a coloured version of that exact photo here: https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Deltas_(Animal_House))
