I live in the Keys, and you wouldn't believe how many drivers have their hand sticking out of their window or their sunroof with their GoPro going 35mph on a no-passing bridge with a directed speed of 55. Slowing down to take pictures from the highway...drives me nuts.

I live in the Keys. I'm pretty happy here. The one way in/out thing kind of sucks when there is a significant accident, but the County Sheriff's Office has a twitter now that they update when they have a road closed. I check it before I leave for my usual 55mph 35 minute commute.

Yeah. My commute is so damn stressful...

I was playing off your analogy of a can of corn being $.79, and I think we can agree that most consumers find a penny increase negligible. And you keep trying to hammer in the point that the price WILL increase, but at the expense of a loss of revenue to a competitor? If even ONE company decides to NOT raise the price

But I don't think you're taking into account market competition. Dole can raise their can of corn to $.88 but Value brand may only raise it to $.80. The higher minimum wage just offers more choices to the consumer that they may not have had before. It's actually better for the economy and capitalism in general.

Every book is an adults book if the adult can READ!

His voice is my childhood. His laugh fills me with so much happiness. I love that he's pursuing this. Go forth and do great work, LeVar!

I hoped you did. I didn't know what kind of biologist you are so I didn't want to assume you knew how it worked. And maybe this conversation helped persuade some undecided undergrad from going into tropical medicine.

Yes. I'm a mosquito biologist, and this is what I use when I feel like switching up scents (because OFF is the best, but yeah, it's odorous).

You know bats don't solely eat mosquitoes, right? And why would they waste time chasing after 1,000 little mosquitoes when they can get the equivalent of one big lazy-flying moth and be done with it. I like the idea of bat boxes and dragonflies, etc etc, but these are not exclusive mosquito feeders. And I'm sorry, but

I'm an entomologist (well, PhD student in entomology), and I study mosquitoes. I raise them, and then sometimes I stick my arm in their cage and let them feed from me. I've learned two things from this: 1) NEVER scratch, that makes the reaction 10x worse and 10x itchy, and 2) I have crossed a line from where I can

You probably want to keep the intermediate host away from you rather than the adult flying botfly itself. It's the intermediate host (e.g. mosquito) that actually delivers the botfly larvae to your skin and can only enter your dermis via the tiny hole the mosquito uses to suck out yer blood. Unless perhaps you are

I'm 29 and made myself tater tots for lunch!

CK One Rosebud...I remember how much I loved wearing that scent in 9th grade. I'd wear it today if they brought it back.

Yes. I noticed when this went missing from the shelves. I had hoped it was just a seasonal item and that it would be back by next summer. Sadly, the 9 months I spent waiting for it was in vain.

You nailed it!

Where is 'The Wonder Years'? Back to the Tampon Tower with ye!

How the hell has Toris Spelling published four books?!
