| #11 M. Murcek, which is why we don't need farms and ranches, which just generate too much CO2. People will do just fine, because they can always go to a store to get food./sarcasm |

| #7 Ah, yes. Infrastructure. Whenever I meet a self-described anarchist, I ask, "DO you use the toilet?" That always gets a confused look, so I repeat, "Do you use the toilet?" "Well, um, yeah..." "Do you flush it?" "Yeah." "How do you suppose that works?" |

| #6 For any GenZ reading the Burg, that is a phone receiver she has next to her ear and the cord from it attaches to dialing device which, in turn, is attached to another wire that leads to the wall.

| #2 I love the video where teenagers are asked to make a call. One kid is pushing his finger into the number holes as hard as he can and his jaw unhinges when the older guy moves his hand away and starts dialing. |
