An electric blanket is one of the best ways to warm up when you’re “chilled to the bone”. Layer them between normal blankets to make the most of the heat and keep them clean, and you can get whole body heat for a tenth the cost of even a little space heater.

Spell: fix this. Result: this is fixed.

I assume cocaine also has some kind of ballmer peak

The ball was white/light gray. It has the surface texture of plaster of Paris, but it is somewhat lighter than would be appropriate for its canteloupe-like size.

I don’t think I actually pictured a whole person as pushing the ball, more likely it was a disembodied hand or the general sensation of pushing it myself.

I remember being specifically intrigued that I pictured the ball rolling back towards the center of the table and pondering why I had chosen the table to be slightly concave. I don’t remember more attributes of the table, but I have the feeling that has more to do with inattention to its details rather than not picturing them at the time.

I imagine that, based on the framing of the story, my interpretation was to picture the sphere as a literal entity, but the person as the “concept of a push”… The table probably lied somewhere in the middle.

the number industry

All I can think of is a gruff, blue collar worker coming home, covered in oil stains. He hangs up his hardhat and lunch pail at the door. “You would not believe the day I had!” He says, “Some jackass put the 9 dies in the 6 press, and I had to spend all morning trying to pry open the hydraulics without fucking them up. After all that, I get a call that the serifs are too long on the ones and they’re getting sorted as sevens!”

Maybe look for a habitat for humanity ReStore?

You can still call wwv and wwvh.

The “disbanding” of the pandemic response team is largely misrepresented. I don’t disagree with the rest, or see how it’s at all relevant to the current conversation.

If they aren’t better off, why wouldn’t they just say no?

So long as he doesn’t try to use them!

There have been so many studies showing that everyone from average joes to top-tier judges can’t tell the difference between cheap and expensive wines.

Lol, I’ve said for years that you should always buy second cheapest booze (unless it’s a variety you’re passionate about). Never go cheapest because… Shudder… But usually second cheapest is good enough.

I like how you’re so high up on your horse that not only does is your team too good to have enemies, you can doublethink away any use of the term as impersonal.

Okay… But… Outside of conflicts of interest, wouldn’t those families be worse off without this unconventional life insurance policy?

You say that like it’s a bad thing?

Agreed.
