What do you think “not uncommon” means?

Yep, our cats did that a lot, too

But if you’re writing something significant, you’re probably using a text editor, and many of them will automatically replace the en dash when the em dash when the are spaces on either side.

Edit: fun fact, the fake banana taste is actually based off of the “gris michel” banana.

This is an urban legend.

The real reason artificial banana flavoring tastes so jarring isn’t because food scientists modeled it on a lost fruit from a century ago. It comes down to a classic case of isolated organic chemistry vs. complex natural agriculture, a phenomenon known in statistical science as the “n=1” problem, and a single volatile molecule called isoamyl acetate.

I solved part of that by not having any goals.

Guilty dogs have to be some of the cutest things on the planet.

Sure. And as other have said, powder coat would be a bit better and just painting the part that doesn’t go into the lock would serve the same purpose without the problems.

Yep, that was my point - that paint is going to rub off into the locking mechanism and be a nightmare eventually.

Color aside, what a terrible idea

I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn’t take a ton per bowl. I’ve gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I’m happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there’s usually some leftover other kinds of berries.

Early in my career I was a sysadmin for a multiuser system, and I often had to go to people’s desks to troubleshoot problems they were having. That meant using whatever pointing device and keyboard they had. There were a crazy number of variations, including left handed setups of different types. It was actually an interesting part of the job. But yes, some left handed folks do that, as did some people who had issues with their right hand/arm.

I had that same physics lesson. Young me was so excited bringing the end of the hose, covered by my hand, to the bottom of the pool. I was almost out of breath when I got down there because swimming down while covering the hose was hard, but I figured it wasn’t a problem because I was about to be able to breathe through it. I was pretty panicked when I quickly jammed the hose end into my mouth and it tried so suck the air out of me harder than I could suck it in.

That’s why you never see cows jogging

Is a husband-brother something they have in the South?

I like that one

We weren’t allowed to have the TV on at dinner, either. And it was okay if no one had anything to say, but usually people did.

I think those things are pretty unhealthy behavior.

Growing up, my parents didn’t let us have stuff at the dinner table, and we were expected to be home for dinner unless there was something special going on. I never really thought much about it at the time, but since then I’ve known so many people whose families didn’t eat together normally and I feel like the difference is meaningful.

Which is why one of the few animals that is a predator of the moose is the orca.

Where do you get the electricity for your motors?

I love that show - it and The Twilight Zone are probably my all time favorites. The production is amazing and it’s just so fun and interesting.
