That’s 02025 thinking.

There is still the remote possibility of a fumble or tackling the ball away from the defence in those cases. In the underarm bowling incident it was made physically impossible to win. In baseball terms, he had to hit a home run with the ball on the ground.

(Though as a non-American, I am indeed mystified why the kneel is legal and not regarded as delay of game!)

Grew up in HK. In typhoon season the bamboo scaffolding has a little give and flex that metal scaffolding doesn’t, and you’d be glad for that.

Ih-DEM-po-tent. Also: huh-MODGE-en-us. Like nails on a chalkboard to me when I hear ho-mo-GENE-ee-us.

I go with tupple. There is precedent (see: tuppence).

Or irritate _everyone_ and pronounce it with a soft J. Zhif.

Comparing against the intel era is a bit apples (excuse me) to oranges. Technical generation gaps aside, Apple products hold value well.

Recommend Roald Dahl's "Boy" for a fascinating glimpse.

I have. I was a 0-2 beer/ day drinker, usually when cooking dinner, so hardly problematic. Lots of “empty calories” and a growing tide of evidence though. I reasoned: if it’s easy to give it up, then it’s a no-brainer. If it’s _not_ easy to give it up, all the more reason.

Price anchoring, I suspect. Apparently, people simply won't accept mobile games at "game prices" ($20-60) instead of "mobile prices" ($0-3). I am the opposite, refusing to engage with anything freemium, but I am also in the clear minority.

A fee, I suspect, that exists solely to be waived.

I am not an expert so this is just my gut talking, but I suspect that the effect of emissions on the energy that the planet absorbs from the sun dwarfs the heat that our machines produce by some very large multiple.

We live 20 minutes' walk from our kids' two schools. They walk. The majority of our neighbours do not. I agree, bonkers.

I'm thinking: cross town errands, 40 or 50 miles round-trip, traffic, maybe it's winter and the usual range is cut by a third... plus general headroom to reduce anxiety. ~100 miles seems like a good target for the 99th percentile of days.

This seems like the goldilocks zone to me. A day's urban driving comfortably, and fossil fuels for the very occasional long trip.
