1975 from the war front: Cod War breaks out between Britain and Iceland when Iceland extends it's fishing rights to 200 miles

Less important than the Cod War but still notable was the introduction of the Altair 8800 with a gigantic 256 bytes of memory. And who could ever need more than the gigantic 64kb memory maximum anyway.

MITS Altair 8800 kit appears in Popular Electronics

For its January issue, hobbyist magazine Popular Electronics runs a cover story of a new computer kit – the Altair 8800. Within weeks of its appearance, customers inundated its maker, MITS, with orders. Bill Gates and Paul Allen licensed their BASIC programming language interpreter to MITS as the main language for the Altair. MITS co-founder Ed Roberts invented the Altair 8800 — which sold for $297, or $395 with a case — and coined the term “personal computer”. The machine came with 256 bytes of memory (expandable to 64 KB) and an open 100-line bus structure that evolved into the “S-100” standard

Companies Consider Banning ALL Physical Contact In Workplace...

Let's have none of this outrageous hand shaking. And for goodness sakes, having too many people in an elevator could lead to heaven knows what - lawsuits at the very least or maybe even hanky-panky. Horrors.

I dare not imagine a Saudi's reaction visiting Italy in Summer...
with all those unclothed girls...

I'd bet that Saudi's love to visit the wanton west,
where they can live out forbidden fantasies.
In Italy, one needn't pretend to be a devout Muslim.

Satire from The Borowitz Report (in the interest of full disclosure)https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report
Americans Favor Fifteen Dollars an Hour for Congress

“Members of Congress are people, just like you and me,” Tracy Klugian, a McDonald’s employee who took part in the Washington protest, said. “They should be paid what they deserve.”

Assuming that they continue to take off approximately two hundred and forty days a year, members of Congress earning the proposed maximum would see their average annual income adjusted from a hundred and seventy-four thousand dollars to thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, a salary that many marchers called “fair and equitable.”

“I know what members of Congress will say: ‘I can’t live on that,’” Harland Dorrinson, a protester in Chicago, said. “Well, if they want to earn more, they should go out and acquire some skills.”
