Such a thing is actually quite enormous in terms of the sheer number of little details. Its like updates to maps. There are constantly little fixes and changes and improvements to the online maps of your country, but how likely are you personally to ever notice any of them?

If things taking up space is a concern, marbles seem like they have an advantage over most things.

A bicycle with gears should not be hard to pedal. You should be able to downshift to a point where it is not hard to pedal.

I’m just suggesting that the bicycles you tried may just not have been suitable for someone who is not already a strong bike rider.

That’s a bullet dodged, if you ask me.

No I assume they mean the problem of people being stupid assholes.

I think Hazel is between green and brown, not blue and grey.

Well, you’re being obnoxious in a way that targets a particular ethnic group, but it’s a group that isn’t really victimized, or sensitive about it, so no one much cares.

The more useful questions to ask yourself are, how funny is that after the first handful of times to anyone older than 13, and is that really the kind of dynamic you want to cultivate with your gf?

You find that voice saying “ah, sir?..” in a loop relaxing? I don’t get that.

I was expecting this to be the actual sound of a bullock snoring, which I’d expect be a rhythmic, borderline white noise type sound, which I could see being relaxing.

I have no opinion on your examples, but when people think something will be shit–not just not-to-their-taste, but actually bad, they would prefer not to see it happen. I can’t speak for everyone, but IMO there is far too much shit in the world already, and it just drags down the common denomenator, because people get used to shit and never learn to expect something better.

How do you like the microtransactions?

For some relatively economical and easy smokey meat, make kahlua pork. You just throw a pork butt into a slow cooker / crockpot with salt and liquid smoke and let it cook all day.

There aren’t enough non-toxic traits or personality types that you haven’t yet experienced in a relationship?

This is a big problem with our modern world. A tendency to not believe that which is relatively easy to describe and quantify. This problem gets worse as our tools and mechanization give us more complete control over things.

A good manager is skilled. Unfortunately this is a rarity.

You can develop a high level of skill at anything, is more a question of how important that is. In particular, you might say how important that is to people doing the hiring. It is clear for many jobs, they don’t care. Some minimum wage jobs they will virtually take anyone with a pulse.

With white collar jobs it is a little more complicated. Project management is software is a position where i’ve often seen people with absolutely no skill helpful to the job. They may have needed a certain amount of political skill, or ass-kissing skill, or knowing how to say the right things, sling buzz words kind of skill. Skills that don’t actually help be effective at the job itself.

White collar and blue collar is orthogonal to skill. Their are jobs in both categories that a monkey could do, and other jobs that take years and years of skill development to do well.

What “in history” are your taking about? I’m not aware of historical documents reporting the existance of fairies. I don’t think you find something like this is the writings of ancient Greek historians like Herodotus. Sometimes they report fanciful things about far away places where they are reporting stories they didn’t themselves witness, like say tribes of dog-headed people, but you don’t see the same thing when they report goings on they witnessed.

And wouldn’t you expect there to be fossils or other remains? Do your see faeries in the pictures left by the ancient Greeks, Romans, or Egyptians?
