    I think little Timmy would notice a 60lb CRT behemoth in his little plastic pumpkin…

      Someone dumped a CRT on the bike path I take to work, and I strongly considered strapping it on the back of my bike but a 60 lb TV is pushing the weight limit of my ebike and it seemed miserable to try to ride four miles with that thing.

    We used to get even worse propaganda in the 80s.

    One house would give out creationist pamphlets with comics about evolved monkeys and Christian bullshit.

    The problem was they were in the same area as one of the full sized candy bar houses, and we could never remember which was which, so they got us multiple years.

            It’s a framework of analysis focused on systemic racism, especially in law. Despite it being a high level university course of study there was a panic a few years back that schools were teaching it to young children.

        My wife made me get rid of my triple CRT setup in the mid 2000s. I was only able to sell one of them, for way less than it was worth IMO, the rest I found a place that took them for free eventually. It was shockingly hard to get rid of them.

        I wish I still had one.

          Dude, same (well - I only had one, but yeah).

          I held off for as long as I could, but eventually went from a 15in Sony Trinitron monitor to a Dell W2405 - which at the time was actually not a bad decision, but I do wish I kept that CRT.

            I went from 3 21" Trinitrons to a 20" BenQ as that was what I could afford at the time. It was a massive drop in screen resolution for me, but it did make my office so much less hot. Those CRTs were like space heaters.
