Ok so in defense of dumbasses, we don't always understand the question. Eg, whose left? In those cases we don't want to make your clarify the question and drag things out, so we give you what we hope is an unequivocally clear response. It comes from a deep-seeded fear of miscommunication resulting in too many mailboxes with their flags on the wrong side or whatever. We apologize for the pedantry, though. I get that it's annoying.

Lol. That one makes me strip a gear.

Although completely reasonable, I fear that your conclusion is inaccessible for most folks.

And as a pedestrian, I'm all for a system that's capable of reducing distracted driving.

Agreed. I'm just pointing out that people need to focus on the latter rather than the former.

That's the part that I don't think is a strong argument though. They were crying fraud long before the election, e.g., saying that mail-in ballots were illegal, claiming people were stuffing drop-off, etc. None of it was valid, but their argument was well established before election day.

When the time comes to study further, Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart is an incredibly useful and approachable resource. It is basically a glossary of common emotions, but they're grouped by similarities and described with her charm and wisdom.

Ah ok. Thank you. I think I was getting stuck on the timing, which did not seem particularly relevant.

Except weren't they were claiming that mail-in ballots were potentially fraudulent for months before the election? This video doesn't disprove anything if they claimed that ballots that had already been cast were illegal.

I switched from from beer to flavored carbonated water. This was 18 years ago though and the options were pretty limited back then. Mostly it was just artificially sweetened garbage. I'd rather just have a club soda and add my own fruit or juice to taste. But these days it's just easier to buy Polar or whatever.

Sometimes I wonder if the people who work at Reddit have ever heard of Reddit.

I really dislike the cooking mechanics, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. It means I also avoid fights, though, or else try to get really good at dodging. But 20 temp hearts? That's incredible. I didn't even know such a big buff was possible.

Wait WHAT!? Cooking during the blood moon buffs the meal!? Where were we supposed to learn that?

In the latest Legend of Zelda games there's a regular event that takes place every in-game month called the Blood Moon. When it happens all of the enemies that the player had previously defeated come back to life. The joke here is the the dirty dishes were cleaned, but the blood moon reincarnated them.

How did you like the show? I read the books when the came out and just remember snippets of them. I sure enjoyed them, though.

This research didn't seem to investigate trans fats, but rather the effect of unprocessed food that's high in fiber vs processed food that's low in fiber.

The last book I read that discussed fats is a bit out of date (The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease by Daniel Lieberman), but it has an interesting explanation of the differences between saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats. Then the author reveals the plot twist that well... maybe the different fats don't actually make that much difference once they're in the body and that current research is still unclear.

Malazan Book of the Fallen is one of the best brick walls I've ever put my head through.

I know it's for advertising but there's a paranoid little corner of my mind that imagines insurance companies paying for some of these, uh, "user insights."

Basic basket coffee can be good, but it's easy to make little mistakes that make the coffee taste pretty bad. If you go this route and don't like the taste then try changing things up a bit. Reduce the amount of coffee, or use cold water, or try getting s different roast. And despite how popular dark roasts are, I highly recommend trying a light roast at least once. It's a much more approachable coffee, and hey, it has more caffeine!

I've only heard that second one in Swedish. I don't know if it's originates from Sweden, but it rhymes.
