"You warm me up like a skylight filter"

In case anyone needed a reminder, "ass" means donkey, "arse" means buttocks.

@louis I guess… I'd keep watch for them to slip up and do something verifiable

In your opinion, are government-enforced monopolies always a bad or good thing ?

Here's a study that shows that modern western society has ingrained upon itself the idea of smalltalk so fervently that if you are naturally predisposed against it, you're going to have a rough time https://doi.org/10.1108/EJM-06-2021-0460

@harvhat Good point!

I wonder if phone carriers track data like % of calls placed which are answered or % of outgoing calls which are answered

Hi, it's me.

@progo Having watched it *all* (because my wife likes it and I'd rather watch it and spend time with her than do neither) it definitely gets worse as time goes on, and the characters seem more and more unbelievable as they get more and more stuck in the box that was set out for them at the beginning

The problem with Big Bang Theory is that while the characters can exhibit accurate behaviour for nerds, the show is about making fun of said nerds rather than having fun with them

@louis gummies at the very least!

At least there's gummy versions of most vitamins now…

Do you default to "its not" or "it isnt"?

Claims like "eating half a cup of beans a day is enough to lower your risk of heart disease" annoy me to no end. If it's something you need to meet a certain quota or land within a certain range for the desired effect, say that. But to say that [quantiy] does [unquantified] benefit sounds lazy. If half a cup lowers my risk, does a quarter of a cup also lower my risk?

Chicago mix is so hit-or-miss
