Yep, in Cold climates it was common to see a can of starting fluid on the front passenger slide floor. The procedure was, crank the engine once, pull out the choke, then give it a go pressing the gas up and down slightly but not to much, if no start pop the hood and spray starting fluid under air filter cover, give it another go . . .
I’ve heard the term for late 60s early 70s music beats, about the same time as I know it was used for transmissions so who knows what came first.
Don’t miss manual choke either, or bench seats.
We used to call that 3-on-the-tree. There where a lot more fender benders at stop lights, it was easy for new drivers to end up in reverse and not first. If you had 4-on-the-floor you had to push left to get reverse so not so oops prone.
Great so what happens when a cassette virus jumps to humans and we all get infected by Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is you”

You can have a hosted e-mail system with your own domain, many service providers will do this. They would have the storage, archive, etc. on their servers. Access would be a web client, e-mail client of your choice, or a bridge demon. Option 2 is a hosted vertual server, so your self hosting but renting a VM server on a providers data center, they take care of the hardware, power, backup (sometimes depending on service), etc. You would set up your OS and e-mail services.
I use a combo of this, I have a service with my own domain and point my MX records there, I use a bridge and a sctipt to pull backups and store them locally but use their email clients for mobile and Thunderbird on PCs.
Edit: FWIW I’ve been using Proton (paid version) for this but will be moving to hosted virtual server at some point, when I get a minute to migrate. I expect the cost to be about the same
Yep, choke, before fuel injection cars had carberators just like small engines in lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc. In the 70s cars started to haves “automatic chokes”, it was just a bimatalic coil that opened the choke more when the engine got hot. Prior to that there was knob on the dash that pulled out to close the choke.
