They should’ve added the T-Rex when, ‘Jurrasic Park Fever’ hit us in the 90’s.
Who the feck is running Milton Bradley these days? Yeesh!

Over a million people were without power here in SE Michigan last week due to a windstorm. At least one to twice a summer we are out for a day or 2 at a time. I look foward to the day when natural gas powered microturbines are how we supply our own power.

Since a large swath of this nation, has power lines above the street, blackout will ALWAYS happen, in a bad storm; the grid has NOTHING at all to do with it.
Many others have done what we did...buy and horde tons of regular light bulbs; I'll die before we run out of the; thank GOD!
Some of the things on that list may come true, all of them? NO!

Prefer LED bulbs here. Any heat reduction is a blessing in SFL. And I see no problem with the light from them.
Would gladly abandon incandescent for LED and am slowly changing out as I can afford.

"Whats an incandescent?" As I understand it, some descents come in cans, some in bottles, and some in boxes. So you have incandescents, inbottledescents, and inboxdescents.

Hard to find in big stores, my hometown locally-owned supermarket has a lot of incandescent bulbs, and I buy a few every time I shop. Will buy even more.
They also carry non-clumping kittie litter in 10-pound bags, just right for a girl like moi to schlep upstairs to 2nd floor apt. And right for beloved kittie who does not deserve to have clumping litter clump up in his intestines.
They also have super yummy grass-fed beef and lamb, yum, but kittie should be so lucky.
“Buy locally” really works.

In the 60’s I had Chevy Powerglide automatics. They were 2 speeds.

4. The clutch pedal - Every year it seems that an additional car model loses the manual transmission option. Even the Ford F-150 pickup truck cant be purchased with a stick anymore.
You can still order a Dodge Ram diesel with a stick. So thpbth!!!! And, a jeep without a stick is just satanic.

LOL...that's a sillier list!
Books will just become MORE valuable.
Lots of people collect coins...they'll never go away.
Artists use pencils are, so they'll never go away and little kids use them in school. Many school districts finally woke up and have reinstituted cursive writing, so pens and pencils won't ever go away.
Radio and T.V. aren't going to go away....that's silly!
Steering wheels? Not for a VERY long time, since the self driving cars are not safe, crash a lot, and won't be ready for every day use for decades.
What's going to replace DVDs?
To: upchuck
Reading list like this one, I’m reminded of how we were all supposed to driving flying cars by 1970.....

I wanted to find Liberals, Leftists on the list!
