When someone thinks The Bible is literal history. Remind them that it was written at a time when people didn't know where the sun went at night.

It may be the quality of your speakers/headphones. Through my desktop speakers, I could only hear up to 12000, but I can hear the high pitch ring of an old CRT monitor about 15' away.

My father, in his 80s, often has a terrible time understanding female voices on the telephone. We work together and whenever a woman with a higher register voice calls him, he apologizes and transfers her off to me. He has no trouble with lower register male voices.

I've bought into it. I much prefer the smell of my Crew shampoo to the fruit and flowers smell my gf uses. And I don't accept the "make one for men and sell double" theory. Whether we're sharing a bottle of each have our own, we use the same amount. Just means we buy less frequently.

Was going to post punching walls/doors myself. As someone who's helped fix up rental apartments between tenants, it seems to be fairly common.

Around here, that's the same procedure as buying cold medicine like Sudafed. You get a label from the aisle, take it to the pharmacist, show an ID, they run a check to make sure you haven't been caught making meth or something, and give it to you.

I'm not understanding the hardship issue here. If there's only one federal prison for women, and it's in Danbury, then that's a hardship for any inmate's family who doesn't live near Danbury. Moving inmates from Danbury to Alabama may create a hardship for one inmate's family, while being a benefit to another.

I might have to use this. I bought a new front door handleset and in keying it to match the old key, it took Home Depot over an hour and about 10 tries to finally get one key that worked. And that one required doing some filing by hand. There was one little nick in the original that their machine couldn't seem to…

If your smoke detector is monitored, remember to call the monitoring company first to tell them you're doing this. Otherwise, the guys in heavy yellow coats are gonna show up.

I think you find a UI you like and tend to stick with it. I've had three TomTom's and about ready for the next.

This video definitively shows that the key to effectively showing someone how to tie a knot is to do it as quickly as possible.

Midwest here. If there's more than immediate family plus 3 max each for bridesmaids and groomsmen, I ain't goin'.

Harvest Fair brings to mind images of fairies and gnomes, lots of beer and a "roll in the hay".

"In the trash" probably means in a pile on the floor where the housekeeper. or in this case nanny, will pick them up and dispose of them. I'd almost be surprised if someone like Wintour knew where the trash chute is.

Did you have the alternative Halloween haunted houses? I worked with an AOG guy who had kids in Royal Rangers, and his church had them.

I worked with someone years ago whose kids were in a group called Royal Rangers, which was an Assembly of God alternative to the Boy Scouts because they weren't Christian enough.

When I started toward my engineering degree I decided against comp sci because I feared it would be a lifelong struggle to stay current. Of course even if I had gone that direction, I imagine I'd have been too old for Google. But damn, it hurts to have an engineering degree, be licensed in several states with 20+…

How you explain it to them is like my pastor does. "The books of the Bible were written by people who didn't know where the sun went at night. So let's just appreciate it as art and concentrate on compassion." (paraphrasing)

Didn't work for me. Every check-in on a persons timeline always showed the same position on the map, which was the location of the most recent.

Miller Lite seems to be the basic bar beer of choice around these parts. I had a bar owner tell me something interesting about his experience with craft beer. Compared to the typical domestic beer, customers will drink the entire craft bottle or glass, and they don't drink as many. He attributes that to the…
