TIL - thank you for the insight.

Almost everyone, actually, I think.

Clearly good for engagement, though.

No, this is Patrick Ed.

I’ve never done any, but I used to work with someone who said he used to work with someone who had been a heavy acid user back in the day, but stopped.

The intermediary said that the original user would occasionally stretch, popping his vertebrae, then have to take a brief timeout as he’d released essentially a microdose.

I don’t know enough about drugs to know if that’s plausible (and haven’t thought about this anecdote in years) but the idea of having an unexpected trip at any moment always sounded very worrying.

Thanks!

What is “full bleed” in this case?

I don’t really have much memory of this, but I apparently started using keyboards when I was two. I only know because of things my father told me and one personal memory.

Eventually I I joined a company which encouraged me to record my skills with my history. I was nineteen at the time. They certainly were aware of that.

I recorded in their system that I had been using keyboards for seventeen years. They didn’t appreciate it. I think I might have taken their request too literally.

I thought it came from the bones of the fifth elephant.

edit: Bones. Bones of the fifth elephant. AFAIK they don’t have video in Discworld other than in that one book and that didn’t go so well.

I need to play “shave and a haircut” with my toothbrush (“two bits” is the toothbrush landing in the container and bouncing once) or I don’t feel safe.

If I don’t sip from my water bottle - thirsty or not - before leaving my car and entering a store, something is bound to go wrong.

He Watsoned you!

Those are absolutely fantastic names.

Makes me want to buy an unnecessarily aggressive top of some sort.

Gotcha, thank you for the clarification.

It for sure does not surprise me that other kinds of microphones exist, but I strongly agree with your last sentence.

Perhaps I’m confused, but your wiki quote itself references piezoelectricity (a word I’m pretty surprised is in my keyboard’s dictionary). Am I misunderstanding?

line the frame with flesh

Here’s my unhelpful contribution: I believe microphones work using piezoelectricity and I also think that’s really cool (that it exists and that humanity found a use for it).

Of course. The only time I intentionally / knowingly say something to hurt people is when I’m very certain they will benefit from hearing it (“you have this flaw and it’s hurting you, so hearing this input hopefully helps you improve your lot”).

I don’t do that often at all because I’m bad at a lot of things, including some at which I’m good, so I’m rarely confident enough about stuff to criticize someone else.

I suppose technically I also might offer hurtful feedback if my honest opinion were to be solicited about something bad.

Your prose was good - I even made a user note about you to remind me next time we interact - but even if it were awful I can’t see how me being a dick about it would help you. I do like your username, though.

Sorry for the narcissistic WOT. I hope you have a great day!

You’re right.

We should put them in the freezer so that they last longer after cracking.

I want to make a joke about your username as it would fit the second statement you made, but I lack your creativity and also don’t want to diminish legitimate praise.
