I knew a girl in high school who would say "Don't do anything I would do."

If Captain Picard can read physical books in his ready room in the 24th century, I can quite well read them in the 21st, thank you very much!

(I don't actually begrudge people who prefer reading on Kindles, but I like the feel of real books)

Recently, I've been reading the Interdependency series by John Scalzi. It starts with The Collapsing Empire, featuring an unlikely heir to the throne, a time of trouble and strife, and the likely impending doom of all mankind. A lot of the story focuses on the unlikely heir grappling with how to hold things together against the catastrophe that most people don't really believe is coming.

Oh, whoosh :(

I don't have an option to accept/reject alternative spellings -- what I see is a message along the lines of "showing results for FUBAR; do you really want to search only for FooBar?"

Ugh, infuriating. All I can imagine now is that you were mad that he made you what you asked for. Guess I'll just be clueless 'til I forget about this thread.

it takes labor to collect the carts

It's not about that. I was making a reference to the Shopping Cart Theory as a way of responding to the post.

potentially reduce price hikes on food

I admire your boundless optimism! I rather think we'd simply see richer grocery store owners if there were a sudden outbreak of common decency and everyone consistently returned the cart.

We got the high-range boozimeter from the safe, but it burned out instantly.
