There are not enough stars to give that.

With a couple notable exceptions. My friend’s daughter has fairly severe autism and will only eat certain things- to a degree that she literally will starve herself rather than eat something with the wrong color or texture.

I really, really try not to be a picky eater, but food allergies.

Their game, their sandbox, they can do whatever they want there.

I’ve been doing night audit for 15 years. I could tell you stories....

There’s a couple other times it’s appropriate-

I have that oral allergy thing, and one of the things I’ve learned is that it can be better or worse on different occasions.

I’ve known more than one person with the same thing- sometimes other words, but nuclear seems to be the most common- They KNOW the correct pronunciation, they can spell it, but whenever they speak, it just comes out mispronounced. I’m wondering if it’s not an artifact of some regional dialect or something.

There are people who are allergic to pork. I think it’s pretty rare, but I do remember that when I had a scratch-test panel, it was one of the things they tested for.

Except India- Something like half the population is vegetarian, and 99% don’t eat beef. Even McDonalds there has like a half dozen different veggie burgers, and everything else chicken.

I just cancelled my cable when I realized that I only ever watched 4 channels, and all but one of my shows were available online.

Buying a house was probably the single worst decision I’ve ever made.

The only way this works is if there’s a robust trade in aftermarket, open source computers which can be used to replace the stock vehicle computer.

I don’t know if it’s possible to top this- My favorite movie review of all time: http://brunching.com/dungeaonsanddr…

Great uncles, aunts by marriage, family friends close enough the kids call them “uncle”?

IANAL, but I suppose I'm kind of going on two basic assumptions:

Buying a house was hands-down the single worst decision I've ever made in my life. It's been nothing but an endless stream of debt, work, and misery, and thanks to the market tanking a few years ago, it's worth less than I paid, even after the work that went into it.

You know what, though? If you really are that much of a car guy, it's worth it. The article touches on it in "Idea 8".

Chisel or a mortiser.

The tighter the joint, the less movement, and consequently, the more the load is directed where you want it.
