They’re sequential, so the values above and below yours are valid SSNs of people born in the same hospital around the same time.

This would make it trivially easy to get access to records you shouldn’t

Worst of all and WTYP are excellent. Those are the two I’ve listened to.

I can also recommend QAA, Knowledge Fight, and Lions Led by Donkeys

I bought my Rebel EOS on EBay with a lens for under $200 I think. It’s a few years old. I spent $100 taking it in to have it professionally cleaned. It’s a fantastic little camera! I’m by no means good with it but it does everything I ask of it and then some.

My go-to is the biggest pack of AA or AAA batteries you can fit in your budget. They’re always handy.

Ah, a fellow misophonia ‘enjoyer’!

Yep! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinz

And people who use the term are yinzers

Ah, the Winchester Mystery House approach

Those are hard seltzers. The ones I’m thinking of and drink are all just fizzy, flavored water and nothing else!

Have you tried seltzer at all? Throw some fresh citrus in and it’s really good. Might even scratch the same soda itch.

I feel that. Quitting alcohol is big suck territory

Hey, stay strong. Shit gets easier, I promise. Six years sober, two years without nicotine here. I did it, and you can too.

I signed up for it last night for exactly that reason.

Not an answer I was expecting, but one I’m glad to see

Nope, not at all! You’ve got it right.

I’m definitely a 1, and generally I don’t. I do, however, really like interactive fiction in both work safe and non work safe contexts. I think I really enjoy being able to visualize it in my mind more than I do watching it.

I’m not sure if it factors into your pet theory, but I’m asexual so the appeal of physical forms is also very lost on me. That’s a different can of worms that I’m happy to open if interested, but I’ll leave it be if not.

Oh rad! Keep your eyes peeled for conventions!

Speaking of, Anthrocon actually just wrapped up this year. You should go next year! It’s always a blast!

Ah, well, fair. Would have made for a great story! 🙂

A big swing, but I’m genuinely rooting for you.

I bought my parents a laser printer after years of them being incredibly frustrated by inkjets. I got them the same model as me, as well as a spare toner cartridge.

I’m still on my original toner cartridge, and I’ve had it for probably six years or so.

My parents are in their late 40’s and early 50’s. I think I might have accidentally gotten them a lifetime supply of printing.
