Nobody said this had to be easy/everyday things.

Plumbing. I'm not a plumber and I'm not particularly good at it, but it's one of those things that most people won't even consider looking at.
Also, 3D visualization. I had a carpenter do the gutters on my house and I explicitly told him that the reason I didn't do them myself was that the eaves are slanted inwards so that the slope on the gutters would cause the gutters to go inwards when it goes downwards, and I was unsure what best practise was for that case, where to get the proper hangers for this or if we'd need to put a vertical board up first in order to make it work. He assured me that it'd be fine, having done many gutters before. When I got home, he had put ordinary hangers right on the slanted eaves, and the gutters were halfway under the roof at one end. He stood there scratching his head and tried to argue that the wall of the house was not straight, because he could simply not see any other reason for it to do that.
Yeah that's a well known southern insult. It's really not that subtle, but then again, god didn't intend for everyone to be as smart as you.
I doubt it. The column name isn't part of the data.
However "the numbers above" is data.
3 letters + 7 letters + 5 letters= 15 letters.
Perhaps the piezo speaker can still be used to mess with people.
Jeg mindes at det er sket før, hvor de dengang pegede på Løkke.
Zimmermann har dog for nylig udtalt at Messerschmidt skulle tage posten ved næste valg, men jeg tror de overvurderer hans popularitet. Hvis valget kommer til at handle om hvorvidt Messerschmidt skal være statsminister, så tvivler jeg på at de får så stor opbakning. Det vil helt sikkert også aktivere en modreaktion.
Ja, de fungerer kun i opposition eftersom de fører brok-politik.

This word is the issue that is grinding gears and it's carrying a heavy weight.
What's your take on handicapped people?
Is someone who has worked 20 years in a factory and got run over by a forklift and lost both legs somehow worth more than someone who was born without legs to begin with?
I believe a society can be measured by how it treats its weakest member. Or the actual quote:
the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members
None of this prohibits anyone from making more money by working harder than others.
The moment when a society starts arguing over who is more eligible for welfare, that's when that society moves down to the lowest level that it's willing to offer.
Where I live, the part of the car insurance that covers damages on others and their property is mandatory.
The insurance for yourself and your own car is optional, but I think it's fair to require some kind of guarantee that you can cover the potential damages that you are able to do to others with a car.
Cops will stop you, if you don't have the mandatory insurance, have unpaid car taxes, use fake license plates or skipped the EU check. Police cars have automatic license plate recognition to check that sort of thing.
"Ding ding ding!"
I think it's condescending as fuck.
Europe is about 3 times larger than India. The map just shows the comparison of states to similar sized countries.
It's the other way around. Addicting things like drugs etc. are mimicking or triggering the natural endorphins, which are released in sex.
The reason addicts say that drugs are better than sex is that they do the same thing, but the drugs are 100% successful, easier to obtain and dose.
Sex is an instinct, a naturally born addiction. Sex addiction is a different thing though. That's when people can't control their urges.
