A demagnetized single-edge blade. Otherwise, it leaves an audible "pop" at the edit. I'm old enough to have manually cut tape, too. I have also literally cut and pasted news copy, set type on a Linotronic, and shot and developed photos on Tri-X film.

Lots of skills that are mostly useless today.
The newsies cry havoc and let slip the rumors of a long wait, but they never got the long lines their cameras yearned for.

Maybe next year, they whispered. Next year....
✈️ Between the federal government shutdown and MEA school break travel this weekend, many expected some turbulence at MSP Airport. But this morning, security wait times at Terminal 1 only hit a maximum of 15 minutes.
Amid increased traffic for MEA weekend, operations running smoothly at Twin Cities airport

I am gobsmacked that you could find that image of the same block, the same angle. But if anyone could, it would be you.
The Interwebs suggest it might be an Idaho tourist trap called "Yellowstone Bear World," which is not affiliated with the real Yellowstone, real bears, or the real world. 🐻
It will be awhile before we can assess the costs of our new plan. Initial costs are the same, but it remains to be seen how our out-of-pocket costs work out, and how easy this plan is to work with. I can keep all my doctors, but not my dentist.
We go there every October to see the colors. Hopefully we will be there soon.
William O'Brien State Park colors are green to yellow to red & everything in between
I can literally hear this bird say "I'll be back..."
A black swan at Stratford-Upon-Avon named Mr. Terminator was a local favorite and "more popular" than Shakespeare, despite being a visiting species native to Australia. But then he started trying to drown the local mute swans, earning himself a one-way ticket to a home for wayward waterfowl in Devon

Sadly, Nǃxau ǂToma is no longer with us.
Just a few years ago, I was one of the 190,000. I'm on Medicare now, but that still didn't shield me from big changes in 2026. How are you doing with your health insurance?

Enjoy. I enjoyed every country I visited in the early 80s, although East Germany probably ranked last on the "fun" list.
He seems to like the UP, but who doesn't?
Lots have shared quotes from that WIRED interview with Cybertruck owners. Me? I want to know more about that bear place.

"A couple of months ago, I think it was in Idaho, my son and I stopped at this place where they had a bunch of bears. It was almost infested with bears, it was kind of gross."
I can confirm that there is a No Kings protest in Valley City, ND today.
When looking for a simple address book, I couldn't find one for weeks. In my search, I found little books designed for recording Internet passwords, and I mentioned it to Mrs. L. She told me she would like one for Christmas, and now all I can find are address books. 🙃
There isn't a vax out there I won't wait in line to get.
The email invite from my cousin in Florida turned out to be a computer virus scam, so that's how our day is going. 🫤
There are drive up ramps near the loading dock that takes you inside the building right to exhibition area. Some of the wall panels there are actually cleverly hidden doors. We would always set up our booth the day before teachers arrived.
During my working years, we used to have a booth -- and a vehicle -- at the MEA convention. Many participants were mystified how we got the vehicle into the RiverCentre exhibit area, which is seemingly assessable only by elevator and escalators. 🤔
