Mine has worked fine for the past 4 years. What's wrong with them?

I remember one of the tidbits I picked up from a psychology textbook was that people who were worse at knowing if their partner was lying were in happier relationships. Turns out that white lies are important.

I think the superhearing power is going to be different than you think. You can already hear your clothes rubbing against skin, the air conditioning blowing, etc. Your brain is pretty good at filtering those out. Now, the conversations will be more difficult, but think about your experiences at a party. Most of the time you can hear another group's conversation if you listened and focused on them, but you can tune them out (most of the time, ignoring the cocktail party effect stuff for now). Unless you have focus issues already, it wouldn't be a big deal. The issue would be the initial period where your brain has to learn what exactly to filter out. Right now, a rustle to my right would be a bad sign, and hearing a rat crawling through the wall would freak me out. After a few weeks though, I bet I'd have adjusted.

Wait, there was a second movie?

Damn. You hit the nail on the head with that one. I don't remember when I started referring to adults by their first names, but it was such an odd feeling. Now I call everyone from the 89 year old neighbor to the 9 year old across the street by their first name, and they're okay with it, gack!

They finally got Hands?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No, there are plenty that do it. Not weekly, but most do it yearly. I've known nondenominational places, lutheran, baptist, episcopalian, and methodists that do.

I mean, I can't think of another sect of christianity that requires special underwear. Outerwear, sure, but underwear? Creepy.

It depends. The battery issue is a nonissue, but the short trip can absolutely have an effect. It takes longer for your engine to reach true operating temperature than the oil/water coolant to get to temp. There's videos out there that can explain the equations for larger engines, but if the drive is less than 15 minutes, it's likely he's building up carboxylic acids from nonvaporized water in the pistons. That ain't a good thing.

Scaled? Is that an instance-specific thing you have? I don't have it on mine.
