The rocks make the sheets dirty and mommy/daddy have to spend extra time cleaning. Plus, mommy/daddy would be very sad if you got hurt by rolling over a rock in your sleep.

In science, arguments about methods and conclusions are one and the same. If methods are suspect, so are conclusion drawn from those methods. There is room for variation in approach, but it is also possible that methods used for a study were inappropriate for the data or the question. Ideally, multiple scientists will…

Re. thunderstorms - if there is lightening with a certain radius of the airport (10 miles, IIRC...) airlines can’t board/deboard aircraft, load bags, refuel, perform maintenance, or do anything else that has people outside or on the jet bridge.

Yes, really. I can’t remember the exact signals, but for example, she changes the bag from left hand to right hand when she’s ready to move on.

Wearing the same thing twice is only gauche for the nouveau riche. The aristocracy but well made, classic/traditional styles, and get as much use as possible.

Mints and tissues. And she uses it as a silent signal to her staff - she changes the position of the bag when she’s ready to move on from the current conversation.

For the cynical play to work, the bill needs to pass quickly enough to actually be in place by fall 2018. The people that need to be angry won’t be until they actually lose their insurance. Until then, it’s all academic, and they aren’t much for hypotheticals.

1/4 of a $20 bill seems fitting

I’m still traumatized from seeing Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe a few years ago, and that’s just psychological torture. Can’t imagine how I would reacte to realistic depictions of physical torture.

When there is a fire (or suspected fire), always, always, always call the fire department first. At best, they get there and don’t have anything to do. If you waste 5 minutes getting you building manager, that’s five minutes longer you have to wait for the fire department if they’re needed, and that literally could be…

If I ever get Joanna Gaines style word-art in my living room, it’s going to be “Great Gatsby wasn’t a lifestyle manual”

Counterpoint - one of the best weddings I’ve attended was a costume party on Halloween. Of course, this was in a town where Halloween is a huge event, and the friends of the couple were (are) really into costumes for all occasions. It helped keep the whole event lighthearted - the bride and groom dressed as the bride…

I’m OK with that. Signs for anything child-related can be in comic sans. At Johns Hopkins Hospital, they recorded a child announcing the floor for the children’s hospital elevators - It’s a really sweet touch.

I once had a boss who used so many color and font changes in her emails, our email system consistently flagged her notes as spam. I had to white list her. She also taught me that you can set the background of a Word document to “sparkle.” Thankfully, “sparkles” don’t print, so I could scrub her signature design…

Would love to see a few of these for adults, based on their original series. A choose your own adventure episode of Master of None would be amazing.

Good. I generally use Lyft for every day trips, in part for the tipping feature. For me, the big draw of Uber is that drivers for Uber Black tend to be professional limo drivers who use Uber to pick up fares during down time (at least that’s been my experience), while Lyft Premier is just regular Lyft drivers with…

What is your ideal temperature range? Temps in Honolulu are pretty consistent year round, and I find them to be very pleasant. Rarely cooler than 60, or warmer than 85. Always breezey, so 85 feels pretty nice.

A huge part of the problem in Maryland in fentanyl. Distributors here don’t give a shit. Fentanyl is cheaper than heroin. They make more money per transaction by cutting heroin or just outright selling fentanyl labeled as heroin. They have so many customers, it doesn’t matter if they keep ODing, another buyer is ready…

Baltimore City is struggling to keep enough naloxone on hand. We’re averaging two overdose fatalities, and 4-5 non-fatal overdoses per day.

Wegman’s has a pretty limited foot print - They are expanding into Virginia (beyond NoVA) and North Carolina, but probably won’t make further south than that. They don’t seem to have any westward expansion at all.
