CAMBRADE. A chamber fellow; a Spanish military term. Soldiers were in that country divided into chambers, five men making a chamber, whence it was generally used to signify companion.
A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

Got a commemorative brick that deserves to be saved for posterity? I’m starting The Brick Archive!
The Brick Archive will be launching whenever I have enough bricks to build it. I’ll use TechnologyTM to keep track of every brick, so your unique contribution won’t be lost!
Look at this! Amazing! Perfect for my new archives!
"Unidentified Brick"
Content Description: Brick that has no identifying information about it.

(not to pick on FSU, I did an ArchiveGrid search for Brick and this was the first real brick that came up)
I was curious on the first ever thing sold entirely digitally
> 1972 - MIT computing students got found out to be selling marijuana using ARPAnet, nobody was caught as they used secure encryption
The 72 one was under the loosest definition of "sent card details over a server, manually processed, manually sent the order"
So not *really* a proper digital sale, the first proper (fully automated, only manual step being sending the item) was 1994
So many people posting pics without any alt text
What happened to the culture of "alt text all images"?
T: "Ah fuck, sorry Jon, my bad. — Anyhow yeah, I think we're on track, we'll have enough to give em by the end of the day, and then I reckon we'll be on target for the xpack release"
