I think the key point is they will give you cues if they are very uncomfortable. If they’re panting all the time then they could probably stand for it to be cooler.  If they aren’t sleeping soundly and getting up a bunch, maybe they’re too cool.

And your point is what, exactly? That this is behavior others should copy? That you’ve been awfully lucky but that luck might run out? That you’ve been robbed 50 times and still haven’t learned? That you live in the magic land of no crime?

Yeah, in my neighborhood cars are more likely to be broken into than houses since they’re quick and easy to gain entry and take what’s in them and the risk of encounter with a person is much lower. If you can lock it in the garage, it’s the better move. Also, it’s winter here - a car covered in snow when it hasn’t…

Chargers for your guests is one thing.  This proposes that chargers for people passing through is a brilliant idea but no idea how that appeals to the hotels or if they’d have any reason to allow you to park and loiter for free for a spell.  It seems like a big ask for the hotels who gain little while EVs are probably…

Before I even saw the reference I thought, “What are those Duke boys up to now!.

And they already killed the Clarity.

It sounds more like you’re just describing a compromise between energy savings and comfort. Obviously if you want to optimize energy savings, turn your furnace off and never use it. Many climates won’t feel comfortable though. If you want comfort, set it to where you feel most comfortable which will be different for…

In all seriousness how common/likely is it to be fighting off two viruses at the same time?  In a normal lifetime is this something we likely experienced or is it really uncommon?

It seems like a well-organized conspiracy designed to keep half the world from watching the Olympics.  That, or cable companies really have no clue of what streaming is and how to serve their customers.

Thanks. I was told in elementary school that the USA would be switching to the metric system soon so this is helpful there, too. It’s been about 45 years so I’m guessing any day now.

To be fair, we get tired of most forms of bullshit. Some of it happens to be wrapped around religion.  And most of my issues have far less to do with any religion and more to do with the people who think they have the only version of the truth.

Your assumption about atheists and agnostics is about as good as anyone’s assumption of what it means to be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. It’s highly presumptive and derivative when the reality is that all have a wide range of beliefs, values, and ways of expressing them.

Agreed and that’s what we do, too. I hate it when someone doesn’t pick up after their dog since they’re your responsibility. I’d probably say something but don’t think I’d have an outright confrontation about it unless it progressed to a regular thing where they’re outright doing it intentionally.

Ok, that’s a little funny but you realize you were the bigger asshole in this story, right?  I’d assume you were bigger and they were smaller or maybe you just have a lot of rage but that’s still bully behavior.

Obnoxious bass drives me nuts wherever I am - in a drive-thru, at a street light, anywhere.  We all like to play our music a little loud sometimes but that’s just asshole behavior.

I’m sympathetic but there’s some give and take here. Our neighbors often entertain outside in the summer and have music and multiple people in the pool. If I’m grilling outside it’s fairly loud though not unpleasant and it’s also rare that they go much beyond 9pm. When I’m inside I don’t hear a thing. Not sure if I…

Enough people commented on two wrongs don’t make it right but I bristle at the automatic “feared for my safety.”  Bitch please you were in 0 danger and knew it.  It was open season for your racist ass.

My thought exactly.  Let’s see what fine, upstanding people they are and how quick they fall in with the white supremacists in prison.

RE: yardwork. How about a neighbor who runs their huge riding lawnmower for 4-6 hours a day every damn day spring, summer, and fall? I assure you I’m not exaggerating. Oops, some more leaves dropped, better mow my whole ass lawn again to mulch them even though the grass stopped growing weeks ago. A major leaf fall -…

Not sure if you’re trolling but the point they were making is that there was an increase in crime when usage went back up. More people, more crime. They could have said it more clearly. And of course, if it helps your narrative as a candidate to just say there’s more crime, then you conveniently ignore facts like…
