I see. You think I implied a double-entendre to your statement without grasping the entendre. Once again, you credit me with amazing cognitive dissonance. My humility prevents claiming it, though clearly you are capable.

Not surprising you really believe I didn’t get it. I wanted to see if you could take ‘yes’ for an answer. Glad that’s sorted.

That’s the funniest thing either of us wrote, so Stead311 FTW.

I’ll own to overwritten. I did multiple times, in fact.

I’m always happy to amuse or fascinate or provide other pleasant diversions, though in this case I deserve no credit of it. It is most self-inflicted.

You are correct that I say my experience has been that intelligent people do not fear failure as well as statistics on the matter are groundless, undercutting the value of my own experience, as I myself noted. However, I’m not trying to prove a negative, merely that there is low if any reliability to this type of…

My instinct is go straight to Lord Beaconsfield and statistics (usually misattributed to D’Israeli or Twain), but I’ll hold off a bit.

Disagree with your assessment.

This is a conclusion based on cherry-picked ‘negative’ reasons for doing something, i.e. It didn’t work, so it was consequentially stupid to have attempted.

I’m not familiar with the Blackbeard pans specifically. They appear to be virtually identical to Hexclad pans which have been promoted at Costco for the last two months.

I think most of those pointing out the telephone-game statistics here are all for wage equality, or equal opportunity and treatment. I know I am.

The absolute greatest movie to watch at Christmas is not a Christmas movie at all.

If you order the quiche and she offers you a quickie, I say go with it.

I’ve struggled with this, particularly as I have given several eulogies people have remarked upon fondly for years after. Why should my post-mortem memory be any less memorable and entertaining, simply because I’m not there to give it (end humblebrag)? But, frankly, I just can’t rely upon the remaining living to make…

I prefer to use my own containers since I already have pasta, pressure cooker and other containers of the right size. And I really like the idea of a lid that works with custom containers. Why did they put the hole in the middle, though? That makes it harder to fit a large steak or chop. Seems space inefficient.

Why does that premise sound exactly like several Seinfeld episodes?

1% still seems high for psychopaths in the population. That means there are 72 Million Psychopaths in the world. People qualified for Mensa are 2% of the population. Wait, does that mean half of Mensans are psychopaths?

I’ve read that if you already own the game, you get a ‘special badge’.  I owned it, but can’t find out how to get the badge or if I already have it.  Anyone know how to do/check this?

Furn looks like a bunch of mid-century modern.  If I drill a hole in my head large enough to make me want that, I’ll just go to OfferUp.

I was interested until I went to the site and tried an LA zip and got no results. In fact, if you enter ‘San Francisco’ or ‘San Francisco, CA’ or a San Francisco zip where OP is located, the search results only produce UK results like “San Francisco Walk, Lowestoft NR33, UK”
