The older you get, the more you realize the people that make fun of useful behaviour are the ones that are wrong. If something makes your life better, but other people make fun of you for it, they are just jerks and you can ignore them.

They do, and honestly to my eyes the shipping already looks like overkill for safety, but have received “rounded” boxes way too often to have any idea how a product ever arrives whole.

Until you do enough charge backs that your card flags you as a problem. And you can of course go with the option of doing the work yourself to get reimbursed and settling with your cards system. But this one is much nicer. If the cards insurance was this nice, I wouldn’t recommend the better one.

Yep for sure, they 100% will fulfill their obligation at their cost if you don’t get the insurance. And if you want them to do it that way, it’s very much an option you can choose. But I recommend the better option.

It is on them, unless you get the insurance, then its on the insurance and you get a much better experience. They could either raise the price for everyone, or raise the price for people that want it raised…

Sucks that they tried to hide it, but I definitely recommend getting it. Of the 10 times I ordered from them so far, 2 of them arrived with a broken bottle. When a bottle breaks, you don’t want that box in your house… I let the delivery guy know right away what he likely got on his hands from touching the box, so he didn’t touch his eyes or anything before cleaning them. With a picture of the broken bottle, they let me toss the entire box and resent the whole order. Both times. I wouldn’t bother if it was just a tier 1 or 2 that broke, but one of those times it was da bomb… and the other, it was that years last dab.

I wonder what they do for replacements when people don’t get that, do people need to send it back? That would suck for everyone.

In order for a planet to even be disk shaped gravity would have to function differently. But no if a planet was disk shaped with the current gravity rules, and something else was able to keep it in that shape against the force of gravity trying to round it back out, you wouldn’t uniformly feel the force of gravity at different points on the surface. Even the slight imperfections in the current round shape of the earth has an effect on surface gravity at different places.

Ah, fair. Upside down I’s. Yeah that checks out. Ok. Well at least that does mean the premise is possible, if they typed “We going to Disneyworld!” Which, could be the case if English is the dad’s second language. Though without going off the clues of which partial letters are attached to the same scraps of paper, not sure why/how you would go about piecing this together linearly instead of putting common or uncommon words together first.

But for us, a puzzle is a puzzle. Clearly I didn’t spend enough time looking. Doesn’t matter if the premise was real or fake, the puzzle was real to us.

My only excuse is that I just got home from New Zealand, and it was a total of 16 hours of flying and 4 hours of driving. And like 8 hours spent in Airports. And I didn’t sleep for any of it.

Which I was originally the I for going. They both seem to have part of a round letter after them. Unless they typo’d and did like giong or something. But none of the O’s fit that guess either. And the S isn’t partially cut off to be the round part following either I for Disney. It’s all just a little off from making sense. Like one or two of the letters have the right partial letter to make sense for having been together before cutting. It’s almost weird at this point that a couple of them do line up properly to make sense. Since the majority don’t.

Not sure what exactly was changed on it to make it fit their fun little joke better. But something for sure was.

If you are ‘hoping’ to find one. The answer is more that you will find that in other individuals. Everywhere has some people that are personally averse to it. And it’s ok if you are too, you will have to advocate a bit, but most people will be accepting of it.

It sounds like more knowledge about virus and bacteria lives can help too. So you know how long a surface just has to be dry for before no virus and bacteria could have survived that long, and stuff like that. There are definitely surfaces and conditions that can increase their life spans, but the average life span without water and in the light, can be surprisingly short.

Definitely still a good idea to be careful, but very helpful to know more about how careful is the right amount of careful.

Also, viral/bacterial load is a huge factor. Like, you have to notice how despite how “gross” everything “should be” people still aren’t getting sick as often as you would expect. Just cuz some bacteria got somewhere, and is still alive, doesn’t automatically mean someone would get sick if they touched it, or brace yourself >!licked!< it. Most traces are going to be too little to make a difference against someone’s immune system. That of course goes out the window when there would be no defense, or very little defense. But even there, people on chemo are still exposed to “amounts” of bacteria and virus all the time and they only get sick sometimes despite being immunocompromised. There are alot of hurdles to getting sick even when a bunch of them are knocked down.

But yes, definitely try to be more careful than the average person is, but you don’t need to drive yourself crazy trying to get down to zero exposure.

Especially since that can lead to lowering the strength of your immune system long-term. And then you really will “have” to be careful. You don’t want to get there. Your immune system needs to keep taking it’s new tests every day in order to not fall behind the rest of the class. The more often you come in contact with an amount of bacteria or virus that doesn’t make you sick, the better. But it is of course a gamble, and more knowledge about what the actual risk is, is very helpful to win those gambles.

The chat bot just assumes it’s in the context of active war. Not that there isn’t even a war. There are no active combatants or “effectively surrendering” combatants. There is just people accused of a crime they may, or may not, be guilty of… and missiles.

Even if it was in the context of a war it would be a crime, but there isn’t even that context. It’s murder, arguably worse than war crime, it’s crime, and one of the worst crimes there is.

What does it say about stealing boats? Again without the context of being in a war…

Hehe, yeah. In the oldendays there was newspaper as an option for drying glass streak-free. It was never the best choice luckily, but it used to be prevalent. A squeegee was the old better solution, and a microfiber cloth is the new better solution.

Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn’t qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though… not to sell myself short, but not super far off.

If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can’t fix everyone, you can only fix you.

But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.

It was general advice for the situation, not specific to the image. There are many things that can cause it to be much more difficult to see when driving towards a low sun than it actually needs to be. It’s not a great situation at it’s best, but it shouldn’t be fully debilitating.

I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.

I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.

If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.

Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.

If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.

Yeah, that’s fine, a bit outside the metaphor as there is no analog.

Basically just that socially enforced boundaries are a thing even in public spaces.

But we are allowed, and encouraged to read it, just not post. It is public.
