That’s a thing about liberals. We can hold more than one thought in our heads at the same time w/o it being a problem (or turning it into a simplistic political meme). 

...where they see your first and last name and then call you Mr “First name”. It just smacks of poor education and manners to me.

Same. Also, some work things make us use SecurID. Both are fine, tho’ I find DUO more convenient.

Came here to post this. Her older sister Máire Ní Bhraonáin (a.k.a. Moya Brennan) of Clannad and solo fame also has a fantastic voice!

When she was singing with her family members in Clannad she sure was. Solo, maybe she’s more “whispy” New Age pop ? Whatever...she has a lovely voice.

I really feel like avoiding this game is just punishing a lot of people that worked very hard on a product, to spite someone who will never feel the impact one way or the other.

LOL, I do. So maybe that’s it :D 

The Paperwhite Signature version is the highest Paperwhite Kindle tier (outside the and the ).

Damn! Who hurt you ?! 

Came here to comment all this, but you did it better - so “me, too”.

Obsessive tidiness guru gives up on same after it fails to survive contact with children...

The current SE 3rd gen utilizes an A15 chip, same as used in the iPhone 13 and 14, for $429. Yeah, it’s smaller (which I like, fits in my pocket easily) but the whole idea is to recommennd a mid-range phone that’s not an Android.

Well hey, ‘Murica! right ? \s

I get what you’re saying, but no need to rag on iPhones. The iPhone SE is a perfectly nice phone at a mid-range price if you like iOS better than Android. It’s what I have and I could afford any Apple model, I just choose to not over-buy for my needs.

Restaurant supply stores in general are a very Good Thing®

Pan fried and deep fried are both a thing, and are both good (and slightly different). As a Southerner, I think of pan fried chicken as “more traditional” and it can be very good if done right.

Discharge a firearm in your neighborhood, intentionally wounding someone (if you hit them at all). Possibly killing them, or sending a missed round off into a neighbor’s house. All because they were running off with your Amazon box full of deodorant or whatever.

Take all this and apply it to “expeditors” delivering small loads in cargo vans (e.g. long wheelbase, high roof Sprinters) and everything dangerous turns up to 11. Yeah, no camera nanny monitoring you, but all the regs on max hours driving and required sleep go out the window. Expeditors will tell you drivers can’t…

But that’s hardly a “hidden” cost... (see article title)

Of course it’s the right answer. And it doesn’t have to be “bad” or something to apologize for either. Minivans are fantastic road-trip and get around town vehicles!
