    That's cool. I don't know of any wives who behaved that way when I was
    a kid. Many stayed home doing chores (of which there were a lot more
    in those days) but I can't recall one who accepted her guy as an
    always-right master. Usually, the opposite.

    But roles were much more rigid in past times. Things are much better
    now.

    It must be great for a guy in college now, being outnumbered by girls.

    Women used to work very hard to keep their husband and kids alive.
    Fetching wood and water, cooking, cleaning. Carrying babies around
    without an SUV.

    Laundry used to be an enormous chore; my grammy had a wringer tub and
    a clothesline, and kept and killed her own chickens, and cooked them
    on a wood-fired stove. And there was sewing and knitting and dealing
    with diapers and such. Now if a sock or a t-shirt is torn, we throw it
    away.

    No birth control. Lots of kids, many that died young.

    Technology has helped women enormously. Men too.

    Men or Women.

    With the two of them, and sometimes other search engines, you can sometimes get a more balanced picture.

    I would certainly agree that Yandex has a great search engine. Google? No thanks. Another good one is Search Mixer: searchmixer.com - but things can change and you must never accept *any* source as permanently trustworthy.

    More Russian nonsense...

    I find that their search engine can be useful.
    Google has been moving towards giving you only the results they want you to have for a long time.
    Maybe Yandex has too.
    With the two of them, and sometimes other search engines, you can sometimes get a more balanced picture.
    Or not if you're influenced by nonsense.

    Yes, the same with google maps,
    sometimes I switch to using bing.maps as google maps is useless
    then I wish I still had paper maps...

    Google maps, and Earth, tend to randomly hide street names.

    But Strreet View is most cool.

    That could well be in america with all those overhead lines, driving on the right, type of trees? hills,
    Your home town? :-)
    Cannot figure out the writing on the street :-)
    Cracks in the road surface..
    Is that reddish brick building on the left your company?
    Restaurant on the right, Pedestrian crossing without lights..
    Some human being too...
    Likely earth..

    The brick building is my new engineering office, a modest hike down
    the hill from my house. The hike back up isn't so modest.

    Cannot figure out the writing on the street :-)

    Chenery Street. It ends at Glen Canyon, which has one of the two
    remaining creeks in San Francisco. Sadly, all the rest have been paved
    over. With bad paving, as you noted. Islais Creek is barely a trickle
    now, but when the rainy season kicks in it will be fun. There's
    actually a dam, The Glen Canyon Dam, and some impostor of the same
    name somewhere back east.

    And there was a dynamite factory.

    Cracks in the road surface..
    Is that reddish brick building on the left your company?
    Restaurant on the right,

    Destination Baking. Their stuff is astounding. My guys are putting on
    weight.

    Pedestrian crossing without lights..

    Life is cheap in the Wild West.
