Haha, fine, I’ll give you that one

Because bonnet means “any of various hoods, covers, or protective devices”.

The etymology of which:

bonnet(n.) early 15c., “kind of cap or bonnet worn by men and women,” from Old French bonet, short for chapel de bonet, a cap made from bonet “kind of cloth used as a headdress” (12c., Modern French bonnet), from Medieval Latin bonitum, bonetum “material for hats,” which is perhaps a shortening of Late Latin abonnis “a kind of cap” (7c.), which is perhaps from a Germanic source. (If that is correct, a chapel de bonet would be etymologically a “cap made of cap”).

So bonnet as a cover for the forward part of a vehicle originated with bonnet as a cover for one’s head.

I’ve never heard of a fruck

And trunk originates with the trunk that was literally strapped to the back of a carriage to transport your stuff.

Just shows the map creators biases, more than anything.

I’d not be happy in NH (no offense, beautiful to visit, skiied there a LOT, just not where I want to live).

The weights the map creator puts on things makes this a map of their values.

Maryland being 11? Yea, fuck that. Being trapped between 2 shit holes of DC and Baltimore, the insane traffic, etc (I know of what I speak, spent a LOT of time there). Lots of folks love that kind of business/chaos, I do not.

ND at 14? I don’t think the map creator has ever been to the Dakotas - it takes a special person to live where winters are that rough. ND has the lowest temps of the lower 48. Long stretches of zero and below. Only Alaska gets colder.

Jersey at 13…hahahahahahahahahaha

Thing is this is by the metrics of the map creator.

Go to Appalachia and get to know those people - their metrics will be different than the map’s creator.

Paradigm has a lot of influence, and being open to understanding someone else’s will tell us a lot more than cobbled together maps like this.

Having lived and worked all over, I would be very, very unhappy to live in or near Chicago (or NY or Philly). That’s part of my metrics.

So you must use a 12 hour clock for this, not a 24 hour? (/s)

Having worked in a restaurant kitchen boiling many eggs, there must be more to this.

This is the method we used, and every egg in the same boil would be different, so clearly this method has little to do with it.

You need to tell us more about this fake plastic egg!!

It’s always Christmas with some ovaries.

Weird - I just got a notification about v2.09 the other day, and that was the only version listed in F-Droid (or wherever I went to get it for a new phone, haha).

I had to grab the version I keep at home on my server, because there are significant changes in 2.09 and I have numerous devices using it so didn’t want to go changing right now.

Fabuloso mixed at 1 Oz per gallon of water. Great for getting the scum off the tub, cleans everything but glass. It’s cheap as hell.

Vinegar & water for glass cleaner (with a drop of dish soap). Cleans better than store bought.

Occasionally I’ll use a specific toilet bowl cleaner when minerals start building up. I get the bottle that squirts up under the rim because that’s where mineral buildup starts.

But really, just about any light cleaner works for a bathroom, I’ve used everything. Just don’t use abrasives until you know exactly what you have for materials. Many baths are plastics these days, which are easily scratched by abrasives.

I just use vinegar and water with a drop of dish detergent in the spray bottle for mirrors. Learned it from my grandparents, and it works better than any “blue” glass cleaner for pennies.

I think you meant this for Unpopular Opinions

Not really much of a shower thought. Pretty sure Clark or Niven wrote entire books on this concept (I forget, just know I read these books 40 years ago, and they weren’t new then).

Most often though my browser has already loaded the rest as clicking “more” just slides the box down.

Of you ever feel like you can’t find the right screws or it just doesn’t hold back together well, just Goop the bastard back together.

So much stuff in my life is now Gooped together - I even Gooped some drives into a desktop that lacked enough mount points.

That stuff is magic in a tube.

Hahaha, damn, nice.

I like describing behaviours as effective or ineffective. “Bad” is tying judgment to it.

Being direct is generally more effective than passive/aggressive, if one’s intent is to build on a relationship, but passive/aggressive may fit the bill if you no longer give a shit and want to simply get your digs in before leaving (say a shitty boss).

I think the first example works better by leaving off the “when are you leaving” question.

But it’s still fits the definition.

The irony of that song, nothing in it is ironic.
