How did you read Watchmen without pictures?

Not sure it rises to the level of "cool."

Brother, have I got a solution for you!

Nothing a flask can't fix.

I grew up in a fairly conservative Christian home and was taught that God gives humans the intelligence to use science. There was no big disconnect between science and Christianity. This was the 1980s though...

Better than someone with no "real medical training."

I bet some phlebotomists could be convinced.

I think there was a golden 20 year era for learning basic computing. If you were a kid somewhere between 1985 and 2005 you had to figure out some slightly more technical things to use a computer. I'm late Gen X and so was exposed early on to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS, but kids working with Windows 3, 95 and 98 would have developed similar skills.

I've noticed that Japanese candy often has a ton of packaging. There'll be a box of small mints and you open it to find each one individually wrapped.

For POS they'd be much more likely to get a tip from me if the options were $0.50, $1.00, or $1.50.

You bring up a good point about the stability of Windows. I've been using Linux Mint for the past few months and am quite happy with it. However I've experienced at least four different times when the OS has become completely locked; I couldn't do anything and had to hard reset. Not a deal breaker for me but it made me think about how that never happens to me in Windows any more.
