90s anachronism is a perfectly valid aesthetic. I dislike the tendency to think that things must constantly be changed for purely aesthetic reasons. This tendency was intentionally created in order to sell more things -- look up the history of Ford and Alfred Sloan for details.

While maintaining the 90s vibe is commendable, the keyword is maintain. Cambridge and Cincinnati complement their 90s aesthetic with grime and stains also from the 90s.
ancientorange commented on Did you lose your AirPods?   alexyancey.com/lost-airpo... · Posted by u/RockRobotRock

I lost a pair of AirTags on an international flight (in cargo), fortunately I only lost the AirTags, and not the actual bags they were attached to!

One of the AirTags actually flew around internationally for a week or so (London, Amsterdam, back to the US a few times!) but sadly after about a week there were no more updates.

Someone must have found the AirTag in whatever baggage container it was stuck in and removed the battery.

I still have the AirTag in FindMy, one day I suppose I'll delete it but I sometimes wonder what happened to it.

Did the person who found it just throw it out? Do recovered AirTags go back to Apple to be recycled and resold? Does the CEO of American Airlines, Robert Isom, have a scrooge-mc-duck-esque pool of lost AirPods he swims around in? Sometimes I wonder.

Why not put the airtag inside the bag?

My lost tag is (presumably) attached to my keys at the bottom of a lake. I refuse to delete it from findmy.

>which is what Covid binds to.

You mean the SARS-2 spike protein binds to the ACE receptors. mRNA vaccines create the spike protein so it's going to work in exactly the same way as natural infection. Recent research from Japan is showing that the spike protein from vaccination is not staying at the injection site it can get into the blood stream (and causes blood clots as are widely reported), crossing the blood brain barrier and affecting the heart. As a healthy 30 year old I would prefer to take my risk with covid than take these vaccines. I've done enough research to know what I'm talking about and the smartest people I know have reached the same conclusion.

As an exhausted 34 year old who spent the last year field-monitoring vaccine trials, I would love to see the sources that informed your position.
