#9.. actually the term was comp operators, and yes a whole industry disappeared with the advent of calculators.

#11.. In America maybe but in England it only stopped because French farmers couldn't deliver fresh milk to UK doorsteps each morning. So the the EU stepped in so french milk could compete with UK farmers. One reason BREXIT happened....

#12 Yup, agree with Fenrisulven, I used a sweep last year... upstate NY

#17.. Totally Still a real thing.... only now it's the local building contractor trying to rouse his "millennium generation" helpers because they are still asleep at 10am.
Oh.... but then peas ain't the ammo either
