WCDT strips 3676 to 3680 (12th to 16th February 2018)
War-Wren:
Cyberdiscs never gained popularity due to their terrible tendency to explode violently when dropped, taking out nearby bystanders, buildings, and petrol stations, thereby creating an explosive chain reaction that wipes out half your team... wait, what are we talking about again?
Near Lurker:
...I'm genuinely starting to think Emily needs help.
BenRG:
There's no doubt that Emily has a semi-detached relationship with objective reality. However, she seems to be broadly aware of this, so this reduces somewhat the degree of risk posed to herself and others. However, yes, she is a person who is always going to be much safer with friends to act as a 'second opinion' of her perceptions and memories.

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 11 Feb 2018, 23:21 ---The first LP machine in the house was a Webcor portable with a two-sided stylus, steel for 78s and diamond for vinyl 33s, 45s, and 16s (never have seen a 16 in the flesh to this day).

Neither have I, but I was told the 16RPM discs were for talking books for the blind.
Which makes sense, sacrificing frequency range for speech-only playing time.

According to this link you are right but it's also because of radio stations and their usage that they were created. When they went with a different, newer format that fit their needs better the format died out so there wasn't any need for the 16s anymore especially for such a niche market. Why continue to make something that has limited us, a limited market, and can be done just as well with other, cheaper technology?
On topic: I really felt old when my niece asked what a cassette tape was a few years ago! She dug the knife in further when she asked what a videotape was and why the minivan had a VCR instead of a DVD player...

Or possibly Pretty Pretty Pegasus in Teen Titans. My kids watch this and I remembered an episode where the ladywizard wants to sit at home and watch their equivalent of 'my little pony'. So I googled it and its pretty close too?
