I mean, I think California just tried something. New York, D.C., New Jersey, Illinois/Chicago, and some other places too.

Mine has worked fine for the past 4 years. What’s wrong with them?

Most colleges are non-profits, which means they are supposed to be, ya know, not profit seekers. Harvard, like many others, is not a business.

I remember one of the tidbits I picked up from a psychology textbook was that people who were worse at knowing if their partner was lying were in happier relationships. Turns out that white lies are important.

I think the superhearing power is going to be different than you think. You can already hear your clothes rubbing against skin, the air conditioning blowing, etc. Your brain is pretty good at filtering those out. Now, the conversations will be more difficult, but think about your experiences at a party. Most of the time you can hear another group’s conversation if you listened and focused on them, but you can tune them out (most of the time, ignoring the cocktail party effect stuff for now). Unless you have focus issues already, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The issue would be the initial period where your brain has to learn what exactly to filter out. Right now, a rustle to my right would be a bad sign, and hearing a rat crawling through the wall would freak me out. After a few weeks though, I bet I’d have adjusted.

Mmm, hours at the computer, creating all these demonic potions of alchemy +XXX.

Wait, there was a second movie?

I mean, just my personal opinion, but abstinence does need to be taught as a co-curriculum with a large portion of relationship education (particularly what a good relationship is/has, and what a bad relationship looks like and how to leave it), and stoicism and some other philosophies that demonstrate how forgoing pleasure (for some things, for periods of time) can lead to better outcomes. I don’t want my kid thinking they need to refrain from sex because it’s somehow immoral, but I also don’t want them to jump into every ‘relationship’ that comes their way in school and start having sex with someone who is just using them for their genitals.

And it was a hilarious one, with some funny subtext. The nature guy with a blowpipe shooting a redneck who was littering from a pickup truck? You can’t tell me that isn’t oddly reminiscent of some of today’s fuck cars stereotypes.

Hey, you can’t just point out my tiny ear canals like that! There are people that love how they feel!

But what’s wrong with crystal meth? It always helps me to focus when I’m trying to brush my teeth.

They finally got Hands?

Well, it’s anecdotal, but when I was earning <$30k a year, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant if I couldn’t get a good meal for less than $10, pre tip. I think I went to Applebee’s once, when they had an unlimited wing deal for ~$13, and that was a way to eat for two days in one meal.

As someone with wax issues in the ears, no, q-tips suck at cleaning ears. You’ll end up pushing the wax into your eardrum and causing the impacted wax that you were trying to avoid in the first place. That’s why I use those tiny screwdrivers. /shrug

I’d add simple soldering. It’s amazing how many little gadgets go bad because a little wire inside broke loose when it was dropped. I’ve fixed headphones, a temperature sensor, and even done things with the vehicles.

I love that website. The surgical knots were nice to have in place to reference.

No, there are plenty that do it. Not weekly, but most do it yearly. I’ve known nondenominational places, lutheran, baptist, episcopalian, and methodists that do.

I mean, I can’t think of another sect of christianity that requires special underwear. Outerwear, sure, but underwear? Creepy.

It depends. The battery issue is a nonissue, but the short trip can absolutely have an effect. It takes longer for your engine to reach true operating temperature than the oil/water coolant to get to temp. There’s videos out there that can explain the equations for larger engines, but if the drive is less than 15 minutes, it’s likely he’s building up carboxylic acids from nonvaporized water in the pistons. That ain’t a good thing.

Scaled? Is that an instance-specific thing you have? I don’t have it on mine.
