With oxblood, do you mean the colour or the material?

Just checking for future possibly dramatic use cases ;)

Why are there so few eggs left? Is there a bird flu epidemic on its way? Are egg prices going to rise? Are chickens on strike for a better work environment? Are the locals preparing for an attempt at world's largest omelet?

I need answers!

@Abe
They are all lies. Massages I've got were highly painful. A description like "loosening high-tension, extremely stiff tissue by hand" sounds both more accurate and painful.

@comphys
Thanks! I will look into different systems as well now :)

I've used LastPass for quite some time. Any reason why you kicked it off your list of considerations? Very interested to hear and learn!

(I'm making the assumption you know about that one as well, of course, which might not be true though.)

@hadret The same as job offers in Comic Sans?

Why even have a Christmas without all the food! 😫

@cm @alexdobrenko I sat in a Tesla yesterday and was indeed underwhelmed by the autopilot. However, I think it also has to do with what is allowed by any local government.

I imagine a certificate much like a human drivers licence, but then for cars. The first few car series will have a steering wheel but before we're dead (don't know about you, but I still got some 50+ years according to statistics), there will be new models that look unlike human driven cars.

(that had happened in the period where horse drawn carriage were being replaced by motorised carriages as well - the first few looked like horse drawn carriages, but without the horses)

@cm @alexdobrenko do you mean "not see it at all" or "not see it as the most common car"?

I think it won't take another 10 years from now to see some brands shipping them. Maybe getting the required legal paperwork might slow the process down to after that mark.

Going full electric might be very interesting! Right now, in some countries driving electrical isn't more CO2 friendly than on gas. This is mainly due to how the energy is created.

Do you expect electric cars to be the main driving force for a bigger conversion to green energy sources?

@cm @alexdobrenko
"oh gramps please tell of that time that you had that car accident! How didn't the car correct you?!"

@cm @alexdobrenko
I would go even further and say autonomous cars. Electric cars have been around for quite some time (source: Dutch car museum Louwman, sorry no more specifics atm), but imagine the shift in "perceived safety in hindsight" of human operated cars when cars can drive themselves more safely!

@freemo
I also found some socks that still fit! #proud #fitboi #instagoals #wrongmessagewrongplatform

@hadret
I had the same experience when I got my glasses! I finally didn't have to guess anymore if it was $x_1, x_i, x_j$!

Getting used to went faster than I expected based on the first day. And while my prescription hasn't changed for the last 7 of 8 years, I really hate seeing without glasses now.
