Before I quit Reddit (when Bacon Reader died) I had already curtailed my commenting because of this. It seemed that any time I tried to make a thoughtful comment on a even slightly contentions subject I ended up in a pointless argument with someone who had poor reading comprehension. It was disheartening to realize that while I was agonizing over every word I put into my comment in an attempt to clearly explain my thought, the same courtesy would not be extended by the people mis-reading it. I started to think people were just scanning comments for keywords to get angry about then telling me that I was ignorant of a subject I knew a great deal about or a reactionary child when I am 50 IRL. Commenting became a burden and it lead to a decline in the quality of conversation as more and more thoughtful commenters found that burden too great.

green peppers

The worst pepper. Everything you add them to just ends up tasting like green bell pepper, which taste terrible. Yellow, Orange, or Red? Magnificent.

Buckaroo Banzai was working on similar tech all the way back in 1984!

RAWHIDE:Dr. Banzai is using a laser to vaporize a pineal tumor without damaging the parthogenital plate. A subcutaneous microphone will allow the patient to transmit verbal instructions to his own brain.

STAR SURGEON: What, like "raise my left arm"?

RAWHIDE: Or "throw the harpoon," . People are gonna come from all over. This boy's an Eskimo.

There were several attempts to chain CDs to caddys, kind of like Laser Disc none stuck.

There were also Zip (250MB) and Jazz (1GB) Drives that were pretty amazing for their day. Unfortunately media was expensive. Jazz was pretty great for backups though.

I started playing Minecraft with Alpha 1.1 so I might actually have some archived antique versions somewhere. It has been years since you could just DL the game and play it though, so even the latest of those would be terribly out of date and missing many features. Better off at this point moving to Minetest-Mineclone 2 and avoid all the hassle.

It is one of Reagan's most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.
