For when you need to alert your fellow road users...

They must've used surplus horns from the original Beetle!

You can catch crabs for free with a pail and a string.

Go down by the rocks, find a muscle, break it open, tie a string around it, lower it between big rocks (a jetty in the water), lift the string every so often, notice a crab is hanging on eating the open muscle, shake it off so crab falls in the pail.

I think I remember buying live crabs at a swap meet in Orlando Florida for $4 a pound just less than 30 years ago.

It was hilarious when the double brown bagged bag ripped open in the kitchen and a bunch of crabs skittering away on the linoleum floor in the kitchen !!!!!

I know of several local taverns where you can easily catch crabs for free, but they are rather tiny... Probably 500000 or a million per lb.
I can't vouch for how they taste though, I don't even like the full size ones.

That’s nothing compared to the mayhem when Pickleballs go on sale. It’s an absolute riot!

Samarium Cobalt was also a famous rich magnet.

Who on ASR is old enough to remember the joy of configuring serial (printer) cards by toggling DIP switches and soldering D-9 connectors to cables to get your dot matrix printer to do something?

Show of hands please.

My first printer had a parallel Centronics Interface, but in 1991 I wrote a C library to control devices via a RS232 serial connection. It is still used today, for RS422 controlled devices, and will stay there for a long time, certainly 10 years or more and far behind me retiring, despite many attempts to get rid of serial devices (they all failed).

The last picture should be an open carriage on a commuter train. Grrrr!

I was at college around the same time studying Microprocessor Systems. I remember implementing the Kermit protocol in assembly language on an Motorola 68HC11 MicroProfessor development board so it could talk to my PC (a second-hand i386 Toshiba 'luggable' with a gas plasma screen ). I also wrote some simple graphing software (in TurboC) for the PC which would display the output of the ADC lines on the 68HC11 (I had some potentiometers connected to the ADC for testing). It was a fun project!
