How did you dust bust it? Wipe it by hand with a microfiber cloth or something?

Glad you’ve got all that time on your hands. I am still working on the fusion reactor portion of my supernova simulator, so that I can generate the silicon you so blithely refer to.

It would take a feastful of foods to make me smell more attractive. In other news, I used to be able to identify people by smell but I am thankful to have lost this ability.

My intuition is that we would adapt just fine. Maybe we'd have to drop to assembly more often, read the chip docs closely, etc. Unheard-of performance benefits are still being found from Commodore 64s and first-gen IBM PCs, for crying

Not sure that tracks. Cars became infinitely more complex due to compliance with federal regs and the chicken tax.

I get this same problem (whistling sound) coming from my AirPods Max headsets. I think it has something to do with partially obscuring the mic.

Not sure what a "cold chain" is but yes, it's shipped ice-filled styrofoam containers. Without it the cheese would sweat, which freaks people out.

If you like sharp cheddar, the best cheese in the world is "Cougar Gold" from WSU Creamery in eastern Washington, USA, a region not known to be a hotbed of find cheeses. It comes in a can, also not thought of as a delivery vector

As a guy who was gotten to by some male abusers as a child, I was simultaneously laughing uncontrollably and shutting my sphincter like a bank vault door as I read this. Never experienced anything like this before.
