By turning down the appropriate corner of my calling card when I leave it with the servant?

I regularly get ~700mbit at my house, but I'm in a rural area with a low usage tower 0.25 miles away on the same hill as my property.

As does my 1901 Waltham M1891 Seaside. Not sure how to tell if it supports webp though.

The engine compartment on a Boxter isn't "sealed". It's just a bit of a pain to get at because you have to move the roof out of the way. It's a little confusing at first, but if you've done it before, it takes about three minutes.

Pro baseball pitchers regularly throw 90-100mph fastballs.

Simple possession is not a crime in most developed nations. Receiving or possessing goods while knowing the were stolen is when it typically becomes a crime.

Yeah, I never quite understood how so many companies aren't prepared for this. A few years back one of my users being stupid let ransomware onto our network. It was annoying as heck, but really it just wasted time while things were restored from offline backups.

Lol, you all make it sound like its some kind of major issue that us poor lefties have to deal with. I honestly haven't ever had much issue with the ink smearing on paper, even without resorting to special pens, angling paper, or weird hand positions. It just isn't typically an issue unless you're mashing your hand into the paper or writing with a fountain pen. But I'll bring it up in my next 'coping with left-handedness' victim's support group meeting and see if it causes trouble for others.

It didn't total the car. No airbags, no real mechanical damage other than my headlight, it did a lot of cosmetic damage to the grill and fender. You would not say it was a major accident by looking at the car afterward.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't complaining. I thought it was an appropriate question for the car to ask. I'd think it should go ahead and ask when it detects any possible collision at all, as long as it doesn't automatically call unless the collision is enough to blow the air bags (or some similar criteria).

It's already here. I was sitting in my living room reading a book one afternoon a few years ago when I got a call asking me, "Mr. LastName, are you ok?" I was very confused, but reasonably quickly figure out that my wife was driving my car and must have been in an accident. The car called the emergency services and the monitoring company, who then called me. (Car was totaled, but she was luckily only slightly banged up.)

Actually, they do sometimes trigger on more minor collisions. I had another occasion driving my new car last year where a deer ran out in front of me late on a rainy night. I saw it before it hit, and had managed to slow down from about 45mph to 20mph. But it still hit pretty hard, throwing the deer up into the air about 10 feet. I stopped and took inventory. I wasn't hurt, car still running, airbags not deployed. Very quickly, the car popped up a message on the screen saying basically, "WTF just happened? Do you want me to call emergency services?" I selected "no" and limped the car home. (Car wasn't totaled, but did spend about six weeks in the body shop. The deer unfortunately was gone before it even hit the ground.)

Unless the vowel is a long 'u', or sounds like one e.g. 'a eulogy'.

Yeah, right. I gave it back to them as soon as they asked for it. No way there was any crime committed. If that was a crime, then I could put money in people's accounts, ask for it back later, and as soon as they did, have them arrested for not giving it back until I asked for it. In terms of tangible property, it would be the same as putting a car on my property and then complaining I stole it. Not going to fly, even if I move it to my garage where I put all my other cars until you come to retrieve it. If you knowingly give me something through no request of mine, you can certainly ask for it back, but you cannot claim I stole it.

"But your honor, they didn't give me back my stuff until I asked them to!" would be laughed out of court.

What you're talking about is finding cash on the side of the road. Totally different situation.

All they had to do was drop the money into some conservative investments and wait for the bank to notice, then give the money back when asked. Sure, it's not the whole $10M windfall, but you'd end up with say $50K-$100K or so in interest that would be yours to keep. In fact, I did this exact thing once, although the sum was much smaller. I still netted about $200 in interest, and as soon as the bank came looking for their money back after six months, I just cut them a check and walked away, everybody happy.

When I was playing I almost always was playing with somebody else's deck. I'd go over to a friend's house, or I'd play with my brother who really likes it and we'd just play his different decks. If there were several different players there, we'd pass decks around and play each others. I think I likely spent a total of about $100 on a few decks in the year or so I was playing and had plenty of fun.

I definitely ran across players like you're talking about who were hyper competitive and just wanted to win at all costs. That's fine, I see plenty of that in lots of gaming circles. But I just avoided those groups, as I didn't have much interest in that kind of competition.

Wait, how did you rule out Zombie Monkees?
