Gives me chills...

Took exactly one post to go from 'never intend to offend' to 'intend to offend everyone within earshot'. I often find religious people to be some of the nastiest hypocrites around.

Is there some kind of paperwork that goes with each pass?

Since people will generally do what their custom dictates I believe the only way to avoid their custom from the start is to tell them you don't wish to participate. This can be done truthfully ("I don't like physical contact") or with subterfuge ("Sorry, I have a cold"). If you don't mind contact for a while with people you know, you can probably wean them off it over time with body language, not standing up for a hug, etc. Other than that people do what they are conditioned to do. Greeting are no different than any other behaviors. In America you get a glass of water when you sit down in a restaurant unless you make it clear you are not interested. I imagine some will be offended no matter what, but if you are doing your best to be non-offensive then that is their problem, not yours.

Okay, thanks. The reason I would turn off then reheat cups was because I really hated coffee that was on the burner for a while. It got a really nasty flavor after a relatively short time.

Sorry if I missed it, but what is it that you are saying changes the flavor of coffee which occurs between coffee that is fresh brewed, and that which is cooled down then reheated? Although I now drink primarily espresso, in the past after brewing a fresh pot of coffee I would immediately turn off the coffee maker and drink subsequent cups after reheating in the microwave. I never noticed a difference in flavor. I always ground the beans prior to making the coffee and generally bought better beans.

They already know you need a job to survive. Tell them why the job is good for you other than the money. Bonus points if what is good for you is also good for them. e.g. I see this job as a great opportunity for me to grow in a field that works to improve the human condition, something that is of great interest to me.

It is rather disingenuous of you to make a claim then attempt to brush aside questions regarding that claim.

How does it save the atmosphere? Also, how exactly do wheels "overcome earth's gravity"?

If nothing else this utility model has served as a lesson that gaining answers to these types of questions before doing the work of developing the 'invention' might lead to better results afterwards.

I do like watching those when I'm trying something new; that would have been a good idea! Of course I'd have to bleep out the reactions I had when I discovered that a few of the very precise cuts I made were at the wrong end of the board, or when I'd just get done dragging my tools outside about 5 minutes before a thunderstorm rolled in. 😀

Thanks! It was a lot of fun building. 😀

Because I cannot say 'no' to my grandchildren.

To get rid of the outer hull we throw them in the driveway and drive over them for a week or so. We've also put them into a cement mixer with rocks and water. Did a great job of getting rid of the hulls, plus made the inner hulls nice and clean. To get through the inner shell we use a wire cutter. At the pointy tip you clip between the two halves and the shell pretty much splits in half. Then you clip into the fat part of one of the halves and it drops into quarters which exposes the meat which can be pulled out. It's not quite that easy but it's pretty close. I find it really easy. Usually all I have to do is bring my wife an occasional cup of coffee as she's working. 😀

Haha. I'll give it a try!

Utilize the free stuff. We regularly make our own syrup by tapping a silver maple and black walnut tree in our yard. Make jelly out of the wild grapes growing on the trees. When they do tree trimming or take down trees in the park we'll collect fire wood to heat our house. Pick pawpaws (and put them in a basket). Collect wild mushrooms. Collect black walnuts and hickory nuts. For a relatively small investment we have fruit trees, strawberries, chickens and vegetables that more than pay for themselves. We also can foods and haven't had to buy, for example, tomato products for years. On the other hand asparagus and honey have each cost us about $50 per pound and hours of work. 🤪

And this is the point I made earlier. There is no 'point' in living. We are just one of the many possible configurations of matter in this universe.

I'm doubtful that anyone who ever lived has achieved that goal.

Where I was playing they had all three. I know it sounds 'woke' to some, but there is a real effort in special needs areas to stop defining people by their disabilities or certain aspects like being non-binary. For example, to stop saying a Down Syndrome kid and just say he is a kid who happens to have Down Syndrome. I agree the term 'trans kids' is a problem as that then makes being trans such an outsized part of who they are, instead of them being kids who like sports, school, riding bikes, whatever. When people are labeled there is a tendency to forget all the other things about that person. I agree with @StringJunky though that this will for the most part go away after a while. Just like being gay, in a mixed marriages, an atheist, an unwed mother, and all the other things that are no longer an issue for most people.

Definitely not. Generally speaking everyone should have a chance to play somewhere, and most women can't compete with men at the more competitive level of sports that emphasize size/strength/speed.

Some people will have their remains converted into diamonds, or for the hunter in your family, you can have their ashes loaded into shotgun shells for a unique version of the 21 gun salute.

I played in an open soccer league, both men and women. No limits to prevent injuries. Women just didn't play if they couldn't compete at that level. Just like men didn't play who couldn't compete at that level.

That sounds sciencey...
