the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be

A communication network for scientists and the military?

20+40*1-20. The first 20 you had already.

Reacher series is quite a nice read, except for a few. I've read the long earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in the last two weeks. The books start slow, but are great page turners. Yesterday I started "Children of time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I had the book on my e-reader for some time, so I decided I should start reading it allready. Normally I'm more for the space opera type of books, so I'll see what I make of it.

LOL, this reminds me of an old viral clip in the Netherlands, where a woman stated "my husband is not an alcoholic, just a standard drinker." The husband then proceeded simming up his standard drink behaviour, which amounted to something like three beers and seven shots of jenever each day.

Or maybe they just stand out holding the guitar upside down, making people see a pattern that isn't really there. For instance, while Jimi Hendrix played the guitar upside down, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck did not.

But, it is plausible you didn't flip 50:50 since the 50:50 is on average.

Just do what I did, learn to write with your right hand. As a bonus only you will be able to read your own handwriting, at least some of the time.

I would never do this, because alcohilism runs in my family, and I'd be afraid to become dependend. That said, I know not everyone has the same risk to become an alcoholic, so if it helps and you can manage, do what you have to, life is hard enough as it is sometimes.

You're reading wrong into my comment. I'm not annoyed because of the mistrust, I see where it comes from, and I've also witnessed some creepers from close by. However, the post literally says "and that's how men tend to be" in regard to Musk's behaviour. So it is seen as typical.

Another thing to consider is that I'm not from the US, so the things going on in my country might be a little less extreme. Not that I want to suggest there are no predators over here, but it is different.

 

The toilet seat in the bathroom upstairs has two part hinges, where you mount two pins on the toilet and snap the seat and lid on. Something broke in the snapping part this week. Fixed it by removing some plastic from the clamping mechanism, put some epoxy putty in there and around the pins, then placed the seat back. It's still on there today, so it worked I guess.
