@TerryHancock @DrOinFLA @futurebird when I visited China last year with my family, all white, pretty typical, the Chinese all wanted to be photoed with me. Not my husband or my kids, just me. I think it was my height and age. The tour guide was a bit embarrassed but I told him I saw this 20 years ago when I was with another tall white older western woman. She was surprised but something about regional Chinese people not sure what.

I got a cheap RC car with a camera on it. (control it with your phone)

I was FLOORED by the high quality of the camera. It's better than an iPhone from 5 years back. Good enough to use in video editing without it looking suspect.

The camera is smaller than a matchbook. The RC car is the same size as a matchbox car.

WTF would you have to control a car's camera with your mobile phone? Especially these days, as travelers are encourage not to bring them.

@futurebird @jannem @michelestrider any link to where to get it, sounds ace

@futurebird I have often thought about how the cheapest table wine today would be amazing in the past -- so smooth and refined and doesn't make you go blind. Henry VIII would have loved washing down his EZ Cheese with some Sutter Home White Zinfandel.

@michelestrider @futurebird The sweetness would have made them spit it out. We live in an era when sugar claims more lives than alcohol.

@futurebird @DrOinFLA

I didn't grow up with spray cheese but I did grow up with tube cheese which was maybe the Canadian equivalent. It came in a plastic sausage shaped tube with a little star shaped valve where you squeezed the cheese out. My dad lived on that and cheese whiz when I was a kid.

@RobotDiver @futurebird @DrOinFLA

Like toothpaste?

@TobyBartels @futurebird @DrOinFLA

More like a little plastic sausage with a valve in the middle of it.

@RobotDiver @futurebird @DrOinFLA

A valve in the *middle* of the tube? That's wild!

EZ Cheese has a low rent reputation, but I think if you could take it through a time portal it'd be considered some kind of amazing gourmet food. Just for being so consistent and evenly flavored.

I think Henry VIII would have gone nuts for EZ cheeze on ritz crackers.

@futurebird it's hard to believe but a single Dorito chip today has more nacho cheese flavour than a medieval peasant would get in their whole lifetime
