#thenandnow — Public Fediverse posts

In the US a very basic weekly food budget for a single person changed dramatically between 1970 and the present. Shared are 3 of the 7 photos a Reddit member shared to illustrate their comments. I was shocked because:

“Can confirm. In 1970 | was a very poor college student living off campus. That first photo labeled 1970 looked like my weekly grocery shopping. I exactly had $10 as my food budget! And, if I wanted to go to a rock concert I had to save the money from the weekly grocery budget. I DID get to see a lot of greats. Stones/Jefferson Airplane/ Moody Blues etc. it was worth almost starving then, ha-ha!”

🕰️ 10 Anni di GNU-Linux: Vediamo il mio primo video! 🤯

Dieci anni fa caricavo il mio primissimo video su YouTube, parlando di Linux Mint 17.2! 🤯 Oggi, dopo un decennio di avventure, scoperte e tantissime distribuzioni provate, torno indietro nel tempo per rivedere quel momento insieme con tutti voi.

Next in my #ThenAndNow #EdTech nostalgia series is the #eLearning #XHTML editor (eXe). Development of the eXe Editor was a NZ-funded project and the first time I met #OER-advocate @mackiwg. Twenty years later, the custodians of this eXetremely easy-to-use #OpenSource editor are based at INTEF in Spain:

Not many people will be aware that DL was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study Chemical Engineering at MIT Boston in 1983 but decided on a pathway to acting. Shortly afterwards in 1985 he landed roles as Venz in #AViewToAKill and as Ivan Drago in #Rocky4
