  • Yes, looks like first rollout was end of 99. So technically correct, which is the best kind.

    However, it was not groundbreaking and the point is that someone in the 90s would not be shocked by internet connected devices. If I recall, some sites also allowed you to blog online by sms. I’m fuzzy on the details and the timeline on that though.

    They did, but it was very slow. Picture messaging was also a thing, but may have been early 2000s. There wasn’t much to browse on the mobile web…basic weather and news etc. Usually it was the network operator but there were offerings from yahoo and similar.

    So, the internet took off. This lady is putting a picture of her food on her personal website. There is a respiratory disease pandemic so people are wearing masks for public health safety measures.

    Lol, it’s not that crazy. The 90s has both internet and masks.







  • Yes, it’s getting better, but it’s pretty poor. It’s not due to an aversion to spicy food though. It’s due to a lack of knowledge of how to make good Mexican food. There are not a lot of Mexican immigrants, especially compared to China, Thailand, Vietnam etc. Indian food is also surprisingly poor here, given the large Indian population, but many are recent migrants, so it is improving.
