I spend more time today than ever before interacting with terminal windows, which is something I don't think Past Me would have believed in the early '90s. Back then, poor MS-DOS was the staid whipping boy of the industry, and at least on the consumer side, graphical environments like Windows (and maybe even odder creatures like AmigaOS ) seemed poised to stamp the command line into oblivion, leaving text interfaces behind as we all blasted into the ooey-GUI future. As it turns out, though, the command line is still the best tool for some jobs—many jobs, in fact. I read a wise post some years ago (probably on Slashdot) arguing that a mouse-driven point-and-click interface essentially reduces the user to pointing at something on the screen and grunting, "DO! DO THAT!" at the computer. (The rise of right-click context menus adds the ability for the user to also grunt "MORE THINGS!" but doesn't otherwise add vocabulary.) The command line, by contrast, gives the user the opportunity to precisely tell the computer what they want done, using words instead of one or two gestalts that the computer must interpret based on context.

The conflict in Iran began on Feb. 28 with the assumption that it would last only a few weeks. Americans began noticing gas prices were rising, but most thought it wouldn't last long. Fast forward to the beginning of May, and the conflict continues, and gas prices haven't seen much relief. As of the end of April, the average price for a gallon of regular gas was $4.30, $1.12 more than the average ...
The conflict in Iran began on Feb. 28 with the assumption that it would last only a few weeks. Americans began noticing gas prices were rising, but most thought it wouldn't last long. Fast forward to the beginning of May, and the conflict continues, and gas prices haven't seen much relief.

Right now, millions of Americans are feeling the effects of the Iran war in their wallets, but it can also have an unintended consequence for current and incoming Social Security recipients.
