Hm... maybe it helps to know that the list only goes down to the 1920s, so you already got half the set. Also, I'm interested in how people would answer this with incomplete information, so not having enough data points is so that everyone's answers can be different. Just go with the first thing that comes to mind.

Not enough data points.

And I am a person who subscribed to five different filmmaking,cinematographer,producer,SFX magazines and a few exotic underground film quarterlies for 25 years.

I looked for letters , vowel patterns, us soil release date months, box office takes, runtimes, amount of CGI, etc.

Not enough datapoints for me. And as a logician, i disregard 1960s and 1960s as possible empty sets in the above puzzle, and possible red herrings, though in most IQ oriented test corpus questions, the blanks are meant to not be null sets (WISC-R Full Scale, WISC-IV extended, Stanford-Binet, WPPSI-III, etc). Null sets as part of a puzzle are not considered valid in a open ended answer, and only used in multiple choice answers.

I don't know how I would complete this, but let's see how GPT-2 would:

1970s — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Star Wars
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Superman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman
1966 — Batman

...not what I expected, really. Maybe GPT-3 would do better, but come on, I don't want to join the private beta just for this.

Mostly to get attention. There are maid restaurants, but the girls working there will only wear the dress inside. The girls wearing stuff like that outside are most likely doing cosplay. Which means to dress up as someone and maybe have strangers take pictures of you.

DON'T PANIC

systemd-less OS is possible. One such example is Alpine Linux. I would even recommend going one step further and learn about daemontools (made by DJB) and in turn to have a look at runsvdir which is part of busybox and is kind of reimplementation of the original idea.

Once you get to live systemd-less, you will realize how easy it is to tame any distro. Even Debian or Ubuntu work very nicely without systemd.

Bock to the roots! All the best!

Yes. The reason I switched to Arch many years ago was to get rid of all that wrappers of wrappers which are used in Debian since long time ago.

Read man pacman and that is the most Arch that can run into your way (not counting systemd, which is not Arch's fault, but the fact they switched to it in 2012 was their decision — so some have switched from Arch as well).

girls might WORK in theme restaurants , if her face is older looking, but in Harajuku, Tokyo, dressing up and visiting Harajuku, Tokyo from hours away is a big deal on weekends for teenage girls.

Harajuku, Tokyo, especially near Jingu Bridge, especially on a Sunday

Cosplayers are people who dress up as anime, manga and cartoon characters, in specific dresses or as members of popular bands. Lolita fashion is also popular in Harajuku, ranging from a wide range of genres including gothic lolita, fairy lolita, punk lolita, and the classic lolita

Court's own website is bugged with Google tracking bullshit.

In 2015 it was fashionable, because Google also gave your site a slight bump in searches on google lookup priority.

In 2021 its retarded to use Google tracking bullshit.

On my most important sites I lifted from bottom 200 to NUMBER ONE SEARCH ENGINE GOOGLE RESULT (meat space retail), I did NOT use any google web track bugs, just lots and lots of various normal SEO tricks, many of my own design.

The best part? I bragged I could bring the bottom 200 site to the top 10, and after one year and number one spot, the manager called me and complained his phones never ever stop ringing from people all over the world calling him, and is there any way I could make only people from his state or county call him!

HAH!

No need to use google web tracking to uplift a retail web site from bottom 200 to number one search result. NO NEED FOR GOOGLE SPY BUGS

If that court page used a paid web designer in 2014... 80% likely they would have got a google tracker slapped on it so the web designer could study his results.

Everyone should rip out google.

As said, I've been using XP Pro for three years now, and hence relegated to using Mypal, Centaury and Firefox 52.9.0 browsers. As both the OS is long ago EOL/EOS, and the browsers are equally outdated, I'm not impressed with that malarkey.

I would think 'proof of vaccination' could be more easily forged than a passport, and therefore cheaper on the Darknet, but I've not actually looked. I don't do airplanes, and not too inclined to go outside the USA anyway, so not something I'd likely need. Mexico (Tijuana) is as far as I've been, or likely to go, and since I got a lifetime supply of Mercurochrome last time, and since the Mexican Mafia seems in control of Tijuana, I doubt I'll be returning.

WARNING regarding :

"guess it could be pick of the litter"

Spooks claim any VPN that well run, domiciled that close to USA shores, is run by the Chinese military via paid proxies.

That rumor is spread by jew Mossad, US LEA, and others, and its a 10% chance that ExpressVPN makes most of its real money from the pension fund of the Chinese Military... but no proof.

The only proof is:

"Express VPN is just too good"

At least though, for a non-chinese citizen and those not planning to visit China, that 10% chance is not dire.

90% of all legacy VPNs are run by nation states (CIA in the mid 2000s in terror war), just like 90% of high speed Tor exit points are run y nation states.

so 10% chance that ExpressVPN is chinese government is no big shock if true.

Just do not use ExpressVPN to undermine china, and use other vpns if needed, and you are fine.

A new-hire Hong Kong VICE PRESIDENT of ExpressVPN "Harold Li" a famous Freedom Fighter, does speak perfect Chinese and ExpressVPN was third largest VPN in China, but the chinese that run ExpressVPN is not proof that the Chinese government pays to run ExpressVPN
