Kinda the same way my car tells me I'm not looking at the road if I tilt my head 2 inches to the side or back. Its constantly giving me warning, and I'm constantly yelling that I am looking at the road! How else could I go around this turn!

At least I have the option of covering it with black electrical tape. Jeeze.

I used to watch David the Gnome when I was young. When I went back and watched it as an adult it was the slowest moving thing I had seen in a while. I was amazed I had that kind of attention span as a kid.

So they say. Guess he lost his vocal cords during the process. Wonder how it would have been if the church just let him get medical help...or never told him to start smoking in the first place ;)

Idk Val Kilmer is always smoking like a chimney in all his early movies. But then he also went against the church to get chemo so...

The Monster Squad was the best. Found it in the $5 bin later, and its still rad!

The article I read said Alzheimer patients had 10x the amount of plastics in the, compared to peoples ithput Alzheimers.

Edit: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/21/microplastics-brain-pollution-health

In the study, researchers looked at 12 brain samples from people who had died with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. These brains contained up to 10 times more plastic by weight than healthy samples.

Try clicking the comment number link, not the title link. I don't understand the difference, but it sometimes it changes things.

Maybe. I was in a really small town, but it was a good district that was fairly liberal, all things considered. We always used to joke about what would warrant it, since we were all aware it was a possibility. The form could have been a deterrent tactic, I suppose.

Texas here, every year we had a form that was sent home with us that our parents had to sign if they didn't want it.

I knew one kid who got the paddle. They were given the option to go to in school suspension or get corporal punishment. He chose the later.

Other than that, nobody else ever had corporal punishment, and I never heard of anyone else getting to make that choice.

I concur. I used to be able to leave a huge gap and nobody would care. I drove a manual and didn't want the hassle of stopping. But, I tried this recently, and I ended up making the fast lane the slow lane and I had the guy behind me honking and yelling out his window to stop letting everyone in.

Piss off the wrong guy in Texas and see where that gets you. I was lucky all he did was honk and yell.
