My former rowing partner was one of the people blinded by eye drops before these safety standards were established. I’m sure she can vouch for how not-a-big-deal this is after losing her job, marriage, home, and almost her life. Fuckers.

I wouldn’t think so on the movie thing. I think it would have to be a video rental store, although not necessarily specifically named Blockbuster. Technically I still “rent” movies at my library through their Kanopy streaming service, but I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the list.

Same. I’m actually surprised at the number of people who have owned them based on these responses. I used them at the library, and probably had a digital one that came with a computer (like Encarta or something), but never owned a full set, which is what I’d guess this list means.

I’m at 1 as well for never owning an encyclopedia. I’m actually surprised how many have. I used the ones at the library. I’m assuming this means the physical book kind, and not a digital one like Encarta or something.

Hahaha…true, and not too many big cats wear collars with bells when running around. Coming from a baked-goods-kitten, I totally trust you!

Not much to worry about in terms of getting pregnant either.

Also prevents you from eating birds. Or so the cats tell me.

Probably a very niche answer, but Korbel winery in California has gone above and beyond to help me out on several occasions, and real people actually answer the phone when you call customer service. I don’t know anything about their owner or politics, but I’ve had nothing but outstanding experiences with them.

I don’t see the survival of our species as a great selling point. We’ve basically fucked everything up.

Ooof. I’m sorry to hear that. But I guess not surprised anymore.

 

Granted I’m only on the first episode, but it struck me as intentionally using liminal space almost constantly.

 

Polis was a shred of humanity amidst the shitshow today.

 

I’m having fun tweaking things now, but I think I’ve got the basics mostly figured out. I’m in Denver, so the altitude and dryness play a role.

 

There’s a really cool set of experiments that have been done around this. It seems it’s the sound that compels them to build.
