Rail transportation in the United States
Should be so much better, could be so much better, was so much better not all that long ago.

Craigslist
I like buying and selling things here. The UI is good, it prioritizes email for communication, and there are weird forums. It's probably good to bring a friend and tell people when you go to pick something up.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Definitely profound, probably... I think. That ending was pretty wild though huh!

Taco Bell
There was one of these near my high school. I got some cinnamon sugar dessert thing one time, it was pretty good. I don't think I've ever had anything else from them though.

Idaho stop
Probably wouldn't need this if car infrastructure wasn't so pervasive and oppressive in the United States, but it's a good law and should be implemented for the entire country.

Operational amplifier
It can do so many things! Usually best with negative feedback

Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller
Its instruction set became the industry standard for character LCDs. It has a funny sequence to initialize it to a known state from any unknown state.

Their water bottles probably leach microplastics but it's got all my cool stickers on it...

Steam Controller
A controller with dual stage analog triggers, two touchpads, and a gyroscope from 2015. People at the time didn't realize how good gyro aiming is, and were put off by the touchpads. Personally, I think it's the best controller ever made.

Hyper Light Drifter
One of my favorite games. Beautiful pixel art, wonderful music, and satisfying gameplay. Real ones know about the Steam Controller "8-bit" rumble mode in this game

Free and open source chess website. Has about everything you could want in a chess website, for free.

Chess.com
Closed source makes it a non starter, but it also sucks in other ways. There is a paid subscription to do puzzles, remove ads, review games, and more. They also got into NFTs at one point. Absolute garbage
