Why did they make the thing that you shovel into its equivalent of hell, cute. That's going to make for some horrific memes.

My father is a retired, pedantic, Latin loving, former nematologist who was always annoyingly good at copy editing. When you have some text to review I'm happy to bounce it off him if that's useful

I feel like every one of these confrontations needs one middle-aged white guy just telling the agents, "It's fine, no one knows who you are. You can just leave. Just get in your car and go. Sure, the money's good but it's just not worth all this. You can just quit and go home."

Be careful. Last car of my wife's that we sold we called the mousemobile because I remember hearing something run up one of the windshield pillars when we came to a stoplight. Turns out the mouse had eaten a bag of soybean snacks

Although I mostly agree with your critique gun suicides are far more likely to be successful vs other means so access to guns is a driver of death by suicide even if the number of people attempting is the same.

The first listed view was never fully true but more of a fig leaf over much more harmful views so people not paying a ton of attention to politics could kid themselves to varying degrees.

Yeah, of course. Political views these days are not "What's the appropriate tax percentage for small businesses?" but are instead "should this class of people be allowed to exist?"
Pretty easy to see how some, now politicized, fairly basic moral similarities might be important in a relationship....

It wasn't great, and that's why we had a set of spares already at the data center. It was the equivalent of every server failing at least once. We kept pretty good uptime through aggressive hardware swaps
