I count 17 individual things. (counting patent medicines and soothing syrups, tobacco and cigarettes, liquor and strong drink, and the pop line as one-item combo words)
7 of the 17 are not of European origin.
How much of this drunkard-grave fear mongering is actually just xenophobia?

Just like how the 2nd Amendment isn't "you can have guns" but rather "we can't make you stop being allowed to have guns," right to repair shouldn't be "we should have the right to repair" but rather "you shouldn't be allowed to stop me from repairing"

For those of you on a Mac, this was an instant "I must have this" kind of app…

Talk about a bypass

If an unjust law is no law at all and an unenforceable contract is void, then copying without permission is not something that can be legislated against

Hi, I'm old. I just found out that the phrase is "left on read" and not "left unread" and I can't understand why you young whippersnappers talk so strangely

I love how free speech is a thing and then when someone shares a thought, people will tell them things like "I have no idea why you felt the need to comment about this"

So very penitential

I feel like if I went to a "silent disco" I would feel more compelled to just sit and listen than I would when listening to music not on headphones

Tipping was cooler when we weren't asked to do it.

If it wasn't for the seasons, would society care about the solar year?

I'm willing to bet that a supermajority of the people sharing this would reconsider having that stance when they realise the cost and lifespan of a product sold with a single payment that's going to work flawlessly

As a kid, I managed to get a bouncy ball to hit the floor and then the ~290 cm ceiling thrice. Then I forgot about that.

Kid came home with a bouncy ball and the first thing I did was try to beat my record.

I think I'm starting to like the idea of things not coming with power adapters and using standardised methods to get power

I have now gone through airport security with analogue camera(s) and film 5 times and the mixed experience and reactions every time is kind of fascinating.

YEG: no issues the first time, flabbergasted at first the second

YXX: no issues, just "oh cool"

YCC: “if the swab comes back positive we will have to x-ray it” and also required proof it turns on. Good thing I didn’t bring a Brownie or my Solida folding camera loaded with film.

SAN: no issues

Gotta love being the last one to find out about everything. I take that back. Last one to be *told* about everything.

Does fact that the effort required to split a restaurant bill is a trope in modern fiction indicate that American restaurants still don't know how to bill per seat?
