What's an example of something that was just done right the first time round?
  • With light bulbs, there is a trade off between longevity and efficiency.

    Efficient shorter lasting bulbs are the superior product, they save the consumer money (at the expense of the inconvenience of having to replace them a little more often)

  • Does a phone ring if it doesn't make a sound?
  • Maybe this is a regional thing, but I don't agree with that example, I think take-out means you leave the house to get it. If they bring it to you, it's delivery.

    I also wouldn't say I "called" for take-out unless I made a phone call. Otherwise, I would say I ordered it.

  • "but they sting/bite/are toxic/are icky" blah blah. nature does not owe you safety
  • Fair enough, seeing an occasional one is fine. I moved into a house with an infestation a while back, there were hundreds of them living in the porch rafters. There were dozens of them swarming the porch at any given time during the day.

    Traps did nothing for me. I used liquid nails and filled in their holes at night while they were sleeping. 10% would chew their way back out, so I repeated until they were gone.

    I don't mind bees in general, but I have a distaste for carpenter bees after that experience.

  • clicking "see more" loads comments, but places them above the currently selected comment

    Is this happening to anyone else? I try to load comments, then I have to scroll back up and try to figure out where the new ones start.
