It’s top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you’d end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I’m old and wondering if it’s a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

I’m sorry you haven’t experienced good Thanksgiving food.

I work in automation. We had one site in Florida that despite AC pumping all the time, had humidity issues. Electonics seemed to handle it ok, but paper was another story. This site would have to print information packs to get packaged up with the product, and it was a nightmare with the collating and folding automation, it just never wanted to work properly. The printers themselves would jam and have more issues than they should as well.

The highway manual manual is based off gut feelings and little else. Why 80%, where did that come from? How is the currently set speed limit impacting the survey? If you go to a speed trap town by the highway, you’d say the speed limit is dead on, as no one speeds since they know its a trap.

Roads should be designed for the speed you want, and not the other way around. Your last paragraph is dead on. Real solutions look like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bglWCuCMSWc

Having worked for UPS in the past, these guys definitely earn it. Long days, boiling hot or freezing cold, and wrecking their bodies the entire time.

This would be terribly abused. Imagine who Republicans would shoehorn in there based off their Supreme Court picks…

Dr. Bob Hartley awakens, upset, and he wakes Emily to tell her about the very strange dream he has just had. To his horror, he realizes she is the white queen.

Similarly, a nice fog free shower mirror for me. My wife would get so mad about stray hairs (it’s easy to miss some when it goes everywhere) Got a waterproof trimmer and started doing it in the shower - cleanup is super easy now!

I’m with you, I find artificial sweeteners to have a “chemical” taste. Just generally unpleasant.

It seems to vary from person to person, some don’t seem to notice much, seems there might be a genetic component: https://www.phillymag.com/be-well-philly/2013/08/22/study-fake-sweeteners-taste-disgusting-people/

I lusted after these when I was a kid, and eventually blew all my saved up Christmas/Birthday money on one.

The battery thing really sucked, but still had a lot of fun with it. Must of played that first level of Sonic 2 a thousand times.

My white whale was the TV tuner, I thought the idea was so cool as a kid.
