I don't know if taking the dip containers at a restaurant or is actually stealing or not but it does remind me that if they don't want me to take them they really should give me a way to take my dip home.

I am once again reminded that while stats about people joining a religion are interesting, in the case of religions that push the idea of some post-death benefits to those in the right state at death, stats on the number of followers dying would be more beneficial to see if you want to show how well a religion is doing over time at propagating their message.

Starting a list of weird rules that seem counterintuitive because after I learned that there's places in which it's illegal to record a conversation you are having without informing the other parties, now I'm learning that there's places where it's illegal to photograph public art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

I have no interest in a "coffee replacement"

Get me an espresso replacement and we can talk.

I absolutely love listening to people speaking other languages. It's like people watching for the ears.

An actual subtitle from something I watched!

One day, the costs associated with media which really are costs of the physical delivery, and not the media itself, will be remembered as a minute blip in the history of mankind.
