I intentionally sought out a used vehicle with haptic menu controls. It pissed me off when I realized there was no point of having it, because the UI still locks me out of most of the interface when I am not completely stopped.

It seems like the next generation just entirely gave up on the concept of safety.

I think we know that.

Catholics believe the principle of double effect could act as a moral compass here.

In a direct abortion, the intended effect is to end the life of the fœtus. There are probably other medical procedures that could achieve the desired effect of saving the life of the mother, unfortunately I’m guessing they are not sought out due to cost and the low likelihood that both lives would be saved.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Haters gonna hate.

Are they the same ones that claim “we are all sinners”?

They’re different, but not opposite. It’s like comparing height and colour.

This is what I often did before going to a party. Sometimes before, sometimes after driving more than 90km to get there

Was it one of the segments in Square One Television?

Don’t we all have different triggers?

Edit: I think the real power here is with the aggregate data. For some fictitious examples, the data may show that people who report having a rough time with store bought pasta sauce but not salsa may also not tolerate marshmallows. If someone has trouble with popcorn, but not corn, then maybe nuts are a bad idea. That sort of thing.

I agreed with you up to the point where it appeared as if you felt that logophiles are miserable and spread misery. That being said, I appreciate your perspective and I’m sorry sharing what brings me joy has the opposite effect on you.

Vegan-friendly here:

Revealed? Don’t worry – They’ll tell you who they are.

That’s limerence.

A more stable relationship is when feelings crystalize, but until then, there’s limerence. Two-way limerent relationships are as unstable as a bottle of undiluted nitroglycerin. In any case, limerent relationships are quite common, and are the stuff of music, art, and poetry.

Sorry, I meant ‘the elected’.

I don’t think the electorate determines who gets clearance, directly or indirectly.

…needs to see a doctor about that infection, or at least get some Viaderm-K.C.

I swear, the limit on edibles was brought to you by the sugar lobby.

It’s been radiated to another environment.

If the water is cooled with a low-energy method like a Peltier cooler, the heat has to go somewhere.

My limited experience with Agile is being forced to share the stage with half-hour soliloquies every morning**, so as long as the dev team doesn’t have to deal with poorly-managed scrums, I’m all for it.

** I made a failed attempt at reminding everyone that it’s called a ‘standing meeting’ partly because we’re supposed to stand for its entirety. If the average person is overcome by the urge to sit down, then the _weak_ly-chaired meeting has been going on for way too long.

Edit: Instead of chair, I meant ‘scrum master’

Locking issues? News to me! I have a problem with the database migration pausing during the “[INF] Applying migration ‘MigrateRatingLevels’” step and while googling the issue, I haven’t seen enough chastising, myself.

As a precaution, I changed my CIFS mount to NFS to no avail. I’m on the cusp of doing all the necessary prep-work to officially submit an issue to GitHub.
