It may depend quite a bit on the pill. As an adult I can easily dry swallow things like ibuprofen. But I'm not sure about something like oral steroids.

I was prescribed them as a kid due to a particularly bad poison ivy reaction. I couldn't swallow pills at the time, so after running through all the tricks to teach someone, we ended up grinding them up and sticking them in ice cream. It was something like 15 years before I could eat cookies and cream again without tasting steroids. Grinding them definitely exacerbated the problem, but I'm not sure how I'd fare if prescribed the same pills again.

There are good sauces you can make from canned tomatoes in 20 minutes (depending on your prep speed).

My go tos are Putanesca & Vodka sauce, but there's a lot more you can do. Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe and then a big list of variants, most of which can be done in 20 minutes.

All things which I don't know how to spell are smarter than humans.

Proboscis monkeys are divine beings.

Or worse: it's in telephone mode now, so obviously you only want the sound from the "call" because there's no other reasons the microphone could be on.

Chittenden county is moderately dense. It has about 25% of the state's population. There's public transit in the form of buses and it seems moderately used. It's a rural state, but not nearly as rural as you seem to think.

In contrast I grew up in a significantly more densely populated suburbs in the greater Boston area. People might use the commuter rail, but I'm not even sure what other public transit even existed. If it's there I've never heard of anyone interacting with it.

True but I'd just like to sit and admire the word frugivorous for a moment

I assume you're talking about not defining PFLAG? Acronyms widely understood by the target audience aren't always defined. The LA Blade is an LGBTQ publication so PFLAG not being defined makes sense.

That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.

I don't think they're confused by times like 1pm.

At least for my brain, 12pm and 12am are the sticking points.

As you note, pm is Latin for after noon, yet we call noon 12pm. Noon isn't anymore after itself than it is before itself. Neither makes any sense.

With 12am, we generally seem to think about midnight as the end of the day, even though it's really the start of the new day. The Latin isn't confusing here, but the numbers get real weird. We start the day counting at 12:00, go up to 12:59, and then reset the count to 1 an hour in? Our 12h clocks are split between being 0-indexed, and a weird variant of modulus 12.

I'm clearly overthinking things, but I don't always immediately remember which 12 is which. Latin doesn't help.

With 00 it's clear which time we're talking about, and which calendar date it's part of. It's also the easiest way to sort out which 12 gets mislabeled what.

Per capita probably isn't a good way to measure this.

Car deaths should probably be by miles driven.

Maybe English (Malta) if that's an option
