Sunroof. So what?

But does it really make less sense to say “a string slice”?

That’s an interesting point. You say “a pizza slice” or “a slice of pizza”, but you only say “a slice of bread”, not “a bread slice” (right? I’m not a native speaker).

But fReEdOm Of SpEeCh somehow prevents laws against million dollar donations by private companies for elected officials.

I think it’s more accurate to say that water is readily available in places where humans are likely to go. Because, you know, humans don’t tend to go where there is no water.

I guess everything is NSFW nowadays…

Isaac Asimov, “Hostess” (1951):

There were four fingers but no thumb. Each finger had five independent ball-and-socket joints. In this way, the flexibility lost with the absence of the thumb was made up for by the almost tentacular properties of the fingers. What was even more interesting to her biologist’s eyes was the fact that each Hawkinsite finger ended in a vestigial hoof, very small and, to the layman, unidentifiable as such, but clearly adapted at one time to running, just as man’s had been to climbing.

[…]

“[…] Look, there are five intelligent races in the Galaxy. These have all developed independently, yet have managed to converge in remarkable fashion. It is as though, in the long run, intelligence requires a certain physical makeup to flourish. […]”

[…]

“Now when the differences among the intelligences are closely investigated, it is found over and over again that it is you Earthmen, more than any of the others, who are unique. For instance, it is only on Earth that life depends upon metal enzymes for respiration. Your people are the only ones which find hydrogen cyanide poisonous. Yours is the only form of intelligent life which is carnivorous. Yours is the only form of life which has not developed from a grazing animal. And, most interesting of all, yours is the only form of intelligent life known which stops growing upon reaching maturity.”

Impossible.

There is an option to default to the GRUB entry you chose last. I didn’t know that either until Manjaro used it.

“as you would have them do”, not “as they do”

It’s not my logic. It’s the logic presented in the Bible.

I’ve never heard of an open sandwich [Edit: until now], but then again English isn’t my mother tongue. To me, a sandwich has always been food between two slices of bread.

Shouldn’t a sandwich have two halves of bread? There’s only one here. Canapés and Hors d’œvres are usually small, aren’t they? A Mettbrötchen takes several bites to eat and is usually eaten as a meal, not as a starter.

An important question no-one has asked yet is, What do you need that info for?

Program sucks at something it was not designed to do.

The requirements have always been the same. Only now they’re reflected more accurately in your docs.

Don’t they get their taste back when they reach room temperature again?

I hadn’t considered bureaucratic obstacles… that sucks.

Well, I commented that before I learned that OP is in New Mexico.

That sounds like something that would be apparent from the get-go, no?

I take it the most pressing issue right now is cooling. If that is right, you might have yet another avenue to explore: Ask facilities with cooling needs if you can store one or two pallets there. I’m thinking schools, (yet again) restaurants, ice cream parlors, ice skating rinks (not sure how they work exactly – is the whole building cooled or just the rink itself?), butchers. You could ask an outdoor gear shop (I mean a place where skis and winter jackets etc. are sold) if they know of a place where one can test jackets. They might know a cool place, too.
