Sure was.

Import duties are a scam to begin with.

Growing up I watched my mom drink cup after cup and then let her anxiety run rampant. Told myself I wasnt gonna touch it. I don't even find the smell appealing.

You managed to get through childhood without learning the alphabet song?

One of the reasons. Another is bandwidth efficiency. You can service a lot more devices with higher speeds and less errors using newer higher modulation schemes.

He has a license plate reader, he has facial recognition, he can read IP addresses from your cell phone or watch,”

Uhhhh.... How is it reading the ip addresses of people's phones?

Fat? Not enough to offset the increased cost of ... everything. As I said, the biggest polluters just increase their prices and the rest of us pay. There's no incentive for the big dogs to improve, and the rest of us dont have alternatives.

Planetary air is free as no one could prove in court that they had any hand in its design or creation.

However the air in contained facility such as a space station or mars habitat is copy protected. Each inhabitant requires a Microsoft 365 style license renewed annually to breathe. Special areas of the habitat or use cases such as atheltic activities require special temporary licenses.

Hmmm Brb: writing synopsis.

Masseurs having to document and pay royality for every massage technique used.

I did a bit of googling. Turns out there were refrigerated sailing vessels in the late 1800s.

I have neither option option. All bananas are delivered to my landlocked town via the same truck.

Bananas are probably a bad example because they are so perishable. They have to be transported in a very controlled environment. Theres no way youre getting bananas from Guatamala to Canada via sailboat and still having them be saleable.

But it doesnt work. Grocery stores raise their prices to cover the carbon tax on deliveries, and the consumers pay more. Its not like we can choose to buy only bananas that were delivered by an electric truck.

The biggest polluters just pass the cost onto their customers by raising prices.

This is a great way to motivate the developement of hovercars and boards.

I was a dj for about 20 years.

I can palm a tennis ball, roll it down my arm, bump launch it with my bicep, and catch it. Freaks people out who are standing close as the ball launches right at them, but I've always caught it. Discovered later I could do it with anything that rolls like a microphone.

What are some things youve done that have not caught on? What are you into currently?

We've been brainwashed by advertising to think that the paste and mouthwash are what matter. They help, yes, but brushing is what matters most. The toothbrush is not just an applicator.

That said, I personally find Sensodyne to work better than other brand's product for sensitive teeth.

It can, yes, but even a cheap toothbrush used properly will do the job. No need to buy brand name when the store brand will do.
