Hahahaha, you're kidding, right?

Should mods be able to alter the body too, "for clarity"?

But I would quietly edit it

Hell, I'm impressed someone ran the wire through FMC.

Is that the back side of sheathing with wallpaper on it? What's that other box for, exposed to the inside of the wall? Was the sheetrock added years later? So many questions, though I've seen this kind of stuff a lot (old houses and low income areas).

Hidden junction boxes are a no-go. There's no way for someone doing work later to know it's there, and it's a potential risk.

As soon as I'm done screaming

Hahahahahaha, have your upvote

And buy more things when you realize you need something that's in product V but not product A.

"Hurry up and take the pic before I pass out, you realize how much energy it takes to hold this giant noggin up? I need a nap"

Haha, what a giant. When he lays his head on you, you're going nowhere.

Have you listened to any sports commentators? They all talk about as if it's the most important, world-changing event ever, and every little detail had some significance.

My god, baseball is a game for (as Brits would say) boffins. Fans of the game could put meth-head ravers to sleep. I've worked on more exciting spreadsheets for business planning.

And football has become just as bad, with the incessant pre-game/post-game commentary examining every nuance of a play - "I'm pretty sure if the inner aglet of his left shoe had moved the other way, we'd be talking about a completely different game".

Bread and circuses, appealing to our base nature. The difference between WWE and "actual" sports on tv is only a matter of degree.

This seems relevant.

They got that idea from Alien! It should be called the Face Hugger System...

I think Collins Aerospace designed some of the earliest ejection seats, so this is probably an extension of their military development.

Welp, guess my money is now "unfetchable" for them.

Whole grain bread means it has some whole grain in it.

Bread made from nothing but whole grain is a very heavy, tough loaf that most people today wouldn't like.

Excellent approach, putting that in my book of tools.

I'd also be sure to ask the second person to finish what they were trying to say after person 1 was done.

There are 2 reasons:

  1. Never know if they have a different perspective or other ideas. They may also have thought of something while listening.

  2. In the help desk world you learn these kinds of people get worse when they get shut down. If you actively engage them (even if you don't really want to), they'll feel heard, and maybe be less likely to feel compelled to interrupt. Plus you come across as a Good Guyยฎ at work.

Besides what others have said, there's also the angle of what you need.

Like vitamins or supplements are only useful for people who are deficient in those things. Perhaps you're just not wired for exercise to make a difference.

I despise working out. It's fucking boring as hell. Give me a mountain bike and I'll crank up hills and down until I can barely walk.
