Esperanto has not yet failed, I know many Esperanto speakers... but you're also forgetting that a lot of early Esperanto speakers were killed by Soviets and Nazis

I hate you... I just wasted an hour watching that. Like a bad accident, couldn't stop looking.

TLAv6 is too difficult, just simply use ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acronym), giving you 456,976 acronyms, that should be enough for a while.

[citation needed] Doesn't ring true. Sacramento is North-East of San Francisco, you don't get to L.A. from San Francisco by going to Sacramento first... look at a map. I could see a north-south route parallel to I5 that split about where I580 splits with some trains going to San Francisco and others going to Sacramento (and further north, to Redding, perhaps?)

Not quite... Gingerbread attracts the corruptible

Who likely didn't even exist.

Let's see...
Each shelf is 5 feet.
Each bookshelf holds 5 shelves
Each shelf holds 2 layers of books (some more, some less)
I've got 4 shelves (I got a more books in boxes)
5x5x2x4=200, not too hard at all!

Another way of looking at this: assuming each
book is 1 inch wide (some more, some less) every 1000 books is 83 linear feet. I can well imagine that many people around here have more than 1000 books.

Reminds me of a SF short story I read a while back (where did I put that anthology book???) of a time in which the only thing left are robots fighting each other, defending two opposing non existent civilizations.

Except for salt

I love "the last man on earth" one of my favorite short stories, on the par with Asimov's "the last question". I've looked for more Fredric Brown but other than a story here or there, and the wonderfully funny "Martians go Home" they're hard to find.

Y son pinchisimos

I have the original series in VHS, only problem is it's dubbed to Spanish, given to me as a bday gift many, many years ago, no longer have a VCR to play it either.

We'll be back in some distopian, post-apocalyptic, post-industrial state. The few people remaining will be too worried about plain survival to worry too much about health care.

In this type of list one often mentions cheap cold fusion or other form of very cheap energy.
