She will never forgive me for making her my mother's potato casserole.

"general era of one's birth" has a lot more impact on well... everything... About a person's life Way more than "time of year"

You are way more likely to be similar to the people born in the 5-10 years around you than to people born 50 years prior but in the same month.

But hey, as long as it's just for fun and you aren't basing major life altering decisions on things.... Why would I care if you like giggling at the little blurbs in newspapers about how ridiculous capricorns are when mars is in retrograde.

Oh man, Bunnicula was probably the first book I ever chose to read of my own free will, not because it was in my parents library, an assigned book, or gifted to me.

First grade me had no idea what choosing a book would do to your desire to read.

(the point you were making)

I'll be honest, I thought Ohio would be higher...

One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)

Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their "investment" safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly ~~employing~~ ~~bribing~~ "lobbying" governments to do it for them

OR

The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it's on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.

I'm not a data hoarder, I just don't like deleting something that I may want to open at some point in the distant future...

Sub-caps are the worst.

Funny that the thing that ends up killing us is a pretty old technology...

I mean.... It was a gamble. Internet was still young. Speeds weren't keeping up with game sizes outside a few major cities. I was mailed a few large files because it was quicker than downloading them. Not to mention the desire for physical copies over a digital thing you can lose with a bad hard drive was at an all time high.

Then people realized the internet wasn't just nerd shit, ISPs slowly ramped up their DL speeds and suddenly the thing people mocked for not being feasible is doing well because of how convenient it became.

Gabe even admits he had doubts for awhile.

I wonder where gaming would be if he had listened to the doubters. There's no denying valve has had a major impact on modern gaming

Who doesn't?

I go a bit farther than most people and bring disinfecting wipes to wipe down before and after I use the machine. After seeing a gym employee pour half of one cleaning spray bottle into another and fill them both with water from the drink fountain, I decided I didn't trust gyms to have proper cleaning supplies.

By the time I die I will probably have spent a full gym's worth of equipment in wipes, but for now I still can't afford a home gym outside a couple free weights.

You have to follow up any looks or double takes with something exra.
