so I'm glad I'm here not there?

You must be REALLY naive then. People stopped paying attention to the road as soon as they had anyone else around, or lipstick or razors or a crossword or a billboard... arguably the biggest lesson cars can teach us is that people are really distractible when doing incredibly dangerous activities that have become mundane.

Yeah, like the whole being out of touch in emergency situations thing...

I do think astroturfing is a real and pervasive problem, but it's awfully convenient to assume without evidence that any given post *is* astroturfing. You can assume all you want, but your "teaching example" is a just-so-story at its core.

Of course, the spices may have some effect on the alloy's tensile strength, but I would have expected the complete opposite.

I admit to nothing.

I suspect there's a line of code in the "assignModPoints" function that says something like

if(freaks.contains("pudge")) return 0;

I haven't gotten mod points in a long time either, though I suspect in my case that I had turned off the "willing to moderate" option when it existed in the user options, and unrelated to that pudge foed me at a later time.

I've had mealworms - they were enjoyable and easy to cook, so I'd be game, but the rest of the house might not like it.

Thanks to your post, I just found out that the super thick rind "lemons" in the backyard at the last house we rented were probably citrons or a citron hybrid. Now I wish I was back there and could try cooking the rinds!

Trial and error, it's a great teacher :)

Yeah, my browser has a lot of opinions on my writing, but it's less judgmental than a lot of the feedback I get on my computer, so I ignore it a lot :)

I think your post achieves peak pun-ish meant.

The weight difference is interesting. I wonder why they don't include average weight differences between lenses on the site when you're pricing it out? I suppose it is because the difference is so small that it would sell less upgrades. For my son's glasses I worry less about the frames and more about scratch resistance and lens replaceability (browser spellcheck claims that's not a word. Of course it also thinks spellcheck is not a word either, but I believe it's in common enough usage to be a full non-hyphened compound :) ). Of course, he's 7, so hopefully his lens care will get better over time. He hasn't complained about comfort from any of the glasses he's had yet, though he had them from age 2, so he has little non-glasses experience. I'm afraid to ask in case it makes him aware of discomforts he was happily tolerating pre-question.

That seems overly reductionist. I'd guess that onsite backups adequately cover over 90% of data loss situations.

Of course not. If we prosecute them the terrorists will run amok.
