I used to have an excellent street map that had just one horizontal fold, and the sections between the vertical folds were increasingly narrow and would stack up centered over one another when folded, like a step pyramid in profile. The two widest sections on the left were glued onto a single piece of thin cardboard that served as sort of protective binder when the map was stored in the glove compartment. Very handy for urban navigation, and refolding was just about foolproof (in this fool’s opinion).
They are sterilizing the glass bottle, so rinsing is unnecessary, other than your own aesthetics , right? 
You rinse them out to avoid attracting insects while they’re stored. For the same reason you should rinse out recyclables, including cans.
Anybody mention overhead protectors in school?
At least in part because the acoustic data was stored on analog cassette tapes.
Every street map I’ve ever seen accordion folds one way, and then accordion folds the other.
Kids (and many adults) these days would assume by “overhead projector” that you meant a ceiling-mounted video projector, typically for a smart board, instead of what us boomers mean:
I actually have one of those that I picked up several years ago, and held onto in case I ended up working in one of those charter schools which don’t provide any classroom equipment for their teachers (seriously, I interviewed at one that didn’t even provide chairs for the rooms). Thankfully, that risk is now past, but I still have it, because whom would I even give it to, now? I guess I could still use it for templating a mural or something…
And even that’s on the way out, now. Modern smartboards are basically just giant tablets, with a giant flat self-contained monitor, no projection.
I grew up on a small dairy farm and we only drank raw, nonhomogenized milk. I remember being about five years old and begging my mother to get some of that skim milk that the store sells. She told me that I wouldn’t like. I tried it and about gagged. I thought they were saying “skin milk”, meaning the cream that rose to the top.
So: would kids today recognize pudding with a skin on the top? I don’t think you can make it with homogenized milk.
Talking about street maps, are Falk Plans known outside Germany? Gerhard Falk patented a system to cut and fold plans in such a way that you could use it like a book, turning the bits like pages in both directions, up and down and left and right, and you could unfold it completely to have a flat up to DIN A0 plan, and everything in between. That was in 1953 (says internet). It is genius, but I never saw them anywhere else, and I can’t find a nice video to show how it works.
Every classroom in my son’s elementary school has a short-throw projector. Giant monitors have drawbacks in such an environment.
I used to think that the skin on the pudding was the best part. It’s there on pudding that’s been cooked. The kind of milk does not affect the creation of skin as pudding cools.
When my three kids were young, I had to make instant pudding because cooking pudding with those maniacs in the house gave too big a risk of burning it. (I’m distractible.) So they grew up with instant pudding. When they were older, I tried giving them cooked pudding and they hated it. They particularly hated the skin. Sigh.
That would be back in the mid to late eighties. My kids complain about getting old, now.
The trick is to cook it in the microwave.
I will try that.
My grandmother’s pudding always had a skin on the top, and she wouldn’t have been caught dead doing something as rustic as buying raw milk. I think that it’s instant pudding that doesn’t get the skin.
Oh, there are still plenty of the projection ones around in the wild. They’re on the way out, but not very far along that way yet.
Doesn’t it usually say “Lift nozzle and select grade”? IIRC the older style pumps where you had to lift the handle didn’t require pressing a button to select the grade, because that’s what the handle did; those pumps had separate hoses for each grade, so lifting the handle selected the grade.
But that reminds me of a story. When I moved across the country to California we stopped somewhere to gas up. I swiped my credit card and picked up the handle, but the pump wouldn’t pump, and eventually the transaction timed out. I tried again and again it didn’t work. So I went inside the store to tell them the pump wasn’t working, and the woman was like “Did you lift the handle?” Ohhh. My brain was so frazzled after the long drive I just did what I did at the last several places we stopped for gas, which didn’t have that handle. I completely forgot that some pumps require you to lift that handle before you can pump gas. And that was in 2005, so it seems like that type of pump was starting to become uncommon even back then.
Weights, yes, but they’re peel-and-stick. With steel rims getting scarce and alloy rims not taking getting clamped on well, they’ve taken over.
I don’t believe you. Many street maps have only one horizontal fold and therefore don’t fold accordion-style both ways. Neither do many maps whose horizontal folds don’t zigzag but are like a flattened roll or coil when folded.
Here’s a Google image search for “folding maps.”

You don’t believe he’s capable of reporting his own experience accurately?
Yes, I’ve made it with homogenized milk. The skin is coagulated milk proteins.
I make a single serving of cocoa for myself in the microwave, and if i heat it enough i get a bit of a skin. I like it in the pudding, but not in my cocoa. (But it’s easy to remove.)
