My car was assigned minivan at birth, but now identifies as a VW beetle with a Porsche engine swap.

Having worked both retail and call center, no, they're not in the same league. People can be assholes over the phone, absolutely, but it's quite different from face-to-face. Someone threatens to kill me over the phone, I can say "I'd like to see you try" and hang up, and the worst that happens is I get fired. In person, they can carry out the threat.

Lol now I want to see the crow remade with Jason Lee, thank you.

Xtians getting their own religion wrong? Color me shocked.

Lockdown is different from a drill. It's as of I said we never had fire drills, but the school burned down a couple times.

You need to provide childcare for kids after school.

My boss's boss is the type to say you need to have adequate child care even if you're working from home so as to be undisturbed the same as if you were in the office. Luckily I had a migraine when he said it or I would have said something that would have gotten me fired.

Good thing they ended Back to the Future with a paradox, thus ensuring there could never be any sequels.

insulation

I'm no expert, but even with ordinary 12V wiring, the insulation is generally rated for up to 600V, just because it's not really practical to make it any thinner...

Cooling is less bad for the environment than heating. The reason being, cooling moves heat from one place to another - it does increase heat overall, but only from its inefficiencies, it's not the goal. Heating, in most cases, is just creating heat. Unless you have a heat pump, you're burning some fuel to create heat, which adds a great deal of heat to the environment.

There is no viable alternative to a car when it is 20 below and you have to drive 30 min to get to work.

Funny you bring that up... bicycling in extreme cold is very similar to skiing, I've done it... no skin exposed, breathable layers, you have to worry more about getting too warm than too cold

Aye sea what you did there...
