Struck by a philosophical streak, I was contemplating things that, like myself, used to be quite useful but have now become more or less completely useless.
The first thing that I came up with was phone books. Other suggestions?

My local ISP is the phone company and they will not install internet unless you have a land line. They also have a monopoly on internet service unless we use satellite internet.
Oh, I don't know, Ed. Effective range of 20,000 yards, no batteries or electronics to fail, 60 years old and still going strong. I wouldn't call that useless. JMHO.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
I don't know about that, I like using Road Atlas and maps for my trips. I also help the scouts learn to read and use maps and compass. I will never fully trust a GPS and carry 2 compass's in my back pack.
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!!

There is a technical advantage to cans: they are full protection against UV and light struck beer.
Maybe, but beer or any drink tastes better out of glass. In fact I damn near refuse to drink coffee out of a Styrofoam cup. On the other hand, the oldest Girl prefers it that way and we keep Styrofoam cups on hand for her. miles
