I have a glass walled shower, and I experimented with different patterns of squeeging it until I got one that looked like the best. I would have solved it analytically if my math was better.

well back in the day, say before 1990, many cars needed that because the engines were so bad. a combination of plain old poor quality and immature technology for reducing emissions . So it became a meme.

what would be the reception to someone who just doesn't care about politics, doesn't care about who does what, who likes who, who eats what, who drives what? Libertarian but without the politics, I suppose.

if Australia ends up like the crash in the US in 2009, that's the time to start buying up the foreclosed houses. Because the market will come back. Folks in the US who didn't panic made out very well.
