   “hold the mayo” is often ignored. And it needs to be said three times.

   " ‘just the place for a snark.’ the bellman said. ‘There, I have said it thrice. What I tell you three times is true!’ "

   Ahhhh, the “bus stop” discussion:

   Board of directors discusses and approves a multi-million dollar expansion in 5 minutes then spends an hour with no decision discussing whether to put a $100 shelter around the bus stop in front of the facility.

   If you think egg farmers are making a profit off selling fewer eggs you are badly mistaken. They’ve been devastated.

   As ARE faster but not humanly noticeable unless reception is weak. They move processing power off the servers and that’s cheaper for the vendor. Perhaps most importantly they are more secure.

    There’s a game of statistics here and a less than informative game at that. Spervolcanoes and asteroid impacts are not very likely but when they happen they kill more people.
