I remember in school that the teachers would complain about the quality but the copy room/office used to limit how many copies they could get. They had zero control over what copies they did get. They had to submit a paper to be copied with a requested amount and they may or may not get what they asked for if they hadn't already met their quota for copies for the month.

So this is interesting because some states have laws specifically for this. If you're in the left lane and someone is moving faster than you, you are required by law to move over. The law makes no provision for speed of the traveler or the speed limit. It is simply a binary set. Are you moving slower? No, you're fine. Yes, move over. Unfortunately the law is rarely enforced; much like turn signal laws.

This is an easy one to overlook. Ever done something that, while the concept was easy, actually took a lot longer and more effort than you thought? ^^ This is why. The phrase "it's harder than it looks" exists solely because of this phenomenon.

Or like many they forget that the Earth/Solar System/Galaxy is not stationary and where it will be even 10 minutes in the future is not where it is right now. So even if they do crack time travel they just end up in space. Not exactly good for your health to suddenly find yourself in the dead of space.

I am usually just amused when I see or hear that. There are many many civilian "grade" things that work way better and have more possible uses. Generally, besides the technical spec meaning, military grade just means an idiot can use it and not break it at least once. Also it has a specific purpose and is designed to do that one thing well. It's not generally intended to lend itself to secondary uses. There's also a good chance it does something completely unrelated magnificently.

Lived in a house with a half acre lot so I always pictured ours and our neighbors yards together for size.

One of the unwritten taboos in the States that should be actively fought. Along with not using vacation time or requesting days off.

Goblet of Fire was my favorite of the series. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was on the reading lists at my middle school so that, to me, is a weird ban. Then again I read a few in high school that really should not have been in the school library, public library with content warning sure, but school, no.

Nope, I'm just going to assume that seagull weighs a ton and bent the bar merely by landing on it. Don't ruin my reality.

There was this famous Italian that said it better and in less words. "Veni, vidi, vici."-generally attributed to Julius Caesar. Translating it into English makes it six words but who needs to translate.

Why is a train traveling on a road? Where are it's tracks? Does it have tires? If it doesn't have tires how long does it take to slow down on a road? Is it just the distance it needs to travel or is it intending to stop at the end of the distance? If it needs to stop then it would take longer cause it needs to slow down to stop. How much does the train weigh? Are there any turns in the road? How do you expect a train without tires to turn on a road? How do you expect a train to turn period? Trains don't have steering wheels they go in a straight line, it's the tracks that turn them.

I don't even really like glazed donuts. For me to eat one the glaze needs to be hard. I should be able to eat it and not leave my fingers all gooey.

"Horse-dewormer" that's a bit like calling "corn" chicken feed. While yes it can and has been used for that purpose that is not its main use today. Whether or not it works for a flu I don't know or care. But it is a general purpose medication. That until recently was commonly prescribed in the US and has been used to treat hundreds of millions of people.

Well since most of the paper will just be blank the printer is really just going to spit up paper, run out, and repeat.

You mean incentivizing and helping our kids with school instead of expecting the teachers to do everything while applying massive handicaps works? Never would have guessed.

Can 100% relate.

Yeah, but your blue feet are not and I'm looking at your feet cause they're...let's go with unusual. Feel free to waddle away if you don't like it.

Waste of time, if the student didn't do the assignment fail the assignment. They're supposed to teach math not try and control their students rights to exercise free speech. If the student wants to not do the work and scribble what looks to me like bizarre men then let them. Let them fail. If they constantly fail because of stupid reasons hopefully they'll learn not to be so stupid.
