So, I would like my next car to be an electric car. However, I don't like some "modern conveniences" which most new cars seem to have.

Like automatic climate control... I don't want to set a temperature. I want to be able to just turn on the AC or heater. Yet every electric car I look at keeps including these things..

I wish there were modular cars...

"Disciplining his failing son, father uses up 2 pant belts on the son per year. How many belts does father use up during the eleven grades of education, taking into account that in fifth grade the son got left back twice?"

I experimented this between two rooms:

Open a door between a dry hot room and a slightly humid cold room.

Hot air moves from the dry hot room into the slightly humid cold room.

Somehow this causes the humidity in the hot dry room to become even drier.

Last month, someone tried to use our credit card to pay for crunchroll online. Only about $1.50.. Seemed like someone was testing if the card could be used.. So we had to cancel the card and get a new card number. 1 month later, now the same thing happened. Crunchyroll for about $1.50 The things we used the credit card for over the past month were normal.. No clue how the fraudsters got the credit card number this quickly.

A Verizon sales guy just came to our house trying to sell his service. After listening to his shpeel, I started complaining to him about how Verizon forces you to combine the WiFi and modem together into one device. I don't like this because I want to have full control over what WiFi I have, with my own router.

At first he seemed confused. "We don't use WiFi. It's fiber!"

Next he started to sell it as a good thing "why worry about multiple devices when you could have just one?"

Finally he told me "ah you just want to waste my time", shook my hand, and left.
