Sam Runyon navigated to the house by memory as she reviewed her patient’s file, a “problem list” of medications and chronic diseases that went on for several pages. Sam, a 45-year-old nurse, had already seen Cora Perkins survive two types of cancer.

Someone on Reddit called the dog "Doge", a meaningless nickname that was blocked. Another coined a cryptocurrency in the name of Doge.Now, 15 years later, in the rapid elimination of the culture of the Internet, Doge is considered very old. But try to tell Elon Musk, who cooperated "doge" for the name of his effort to sell off the machinery of the federal government-più formally, the Department of Efficiency of the Government.It is one of dozens of old ephemeral internets that are cooked in i...
