Four color CGA was amazing, right?

The top dial on the TV had the VHF (lower number) stations. The bottom had the UHF( higher number) stations. In spite of all those channels being available, many places only had three, maybe four that had a station in range to be received intelligibly.

Guess who left the church after the unsurprising COVID outbreak?

I realize a lot of people here aren’t believers, but my point is that even within the context of religion or common wisdom, masks make sense.
