I'm sure there's an optimal amount of air to balance space and protection.

But I was responding to the "no one ever complained about broken chips," which is patently false. I've complained.

In some cases it is.

I live on an acre about 100 miles from the nearest sizable city. I've got a workshop, pecan trees, a pool, a smoker trailer, a bonfire pit fifteen feet across, and lots of peace and quiet. No HOA, no city ordinances, no traffic, and the only loud neighbor is a donkey that brays a few times a day.

That would cost me at least half a million in the city. The little apartment I used to rent Pre-COVID cost me nearly as much as the house payment I pay now.

Is it for everyone? No. There's no excitement, limited shopping and dining options, and anywhere I want to go is at least a twenty minute drive. But it's great for me. My job sends me all over the world so I get my fill of the city while living in hotels. Going home is a breath of fresh air.

That the banana is proof of creationism because it's perfect for the human hand.

Problem with that argument is that bananas aren't natural. They've been bred and cloned to get to the shape they have. The original fruit wasn't very friendly.

An entire bag? Never. A bag with more than half the chips broken into pieces too small for dipping? More often than I'd like.

OK, first off - gatekeep corn chips? You need to get off the internet more often.

Second, you enjoy nachos made of tortilla crumbs?

Makes as much sense as the banana argument.

Latin was the lingua franca for the educated western world for centuries. Texts on alchemy, mysticism, and religion were all written in Latin. Church rituals were performed in Latin.

Most magic in fiction has its roots in the past. What language would be more fitting?

Let me guess - you don't make your own nachos, do you?

I'd wind up with an acre of goat heads. No thanks. Even with mowing and dragging a carpet behind the tractor our dogs still track them in for us to step on on the way to the bathroom at 3AM.

General Sherman was a union general during the American civil war. His approach to warfare was to a bit unconventional for the time - he focused on destroying the enemy's infrastructure and supply lines and burned down nearly everything flammable he came across. It was very effective.

What, you missed the party? Dude! It was epic. Everyone was there!

I would love to be wrong on that, but I don't think I am.
