I subscribed to Time around then and tend to agree... it shifted from news to entertainment in my mind. I remember being puzzled why they gave ink to Joel Stein (?) writing an odd mix of comedy/irony as a news magazine feature. It seem

I waited till I was married at 36 to have sex. No regrets. I consider it a sign of strength amidst my social and other weaknesses. YMMV.

Any idea if the skin inflammatory conditions here share a common cause with cold urticaria, allergy to cold? A family member gets skin rashes when exposed to freezers at the grocery store or the freezer at home.

Unix was very popular in the mid 90s amongst some. There were half a dozen RISC unix vendors each investing $100m a year on their unix platforms to drive billions in new business. This was seen as one of the few insider critiques worth read

A friend of mine just got geothermal for his very ordinary house in a major metropolitan area. It was cheaper than the solar on my house was a bunch of years ago. Your point seems very bogus to me.

There are database migration tools like Liquibase/datical and, I believe, Flyway that let you specify migrations not just of schema changes (DDL) but also data changes (DML). I have used Liquibase in production for handling data change
