This is certainly more detail than I expected at all, let alone almost a month later.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

The impulse is understandable, but yeah. You'd think they'd learn.

Absolutely!

While I agree, we shouldn't criticize people for learning and changing for the better.

I also like the Adventure Time interpretation, wherein a vampire will not enter without permission because he views doing so as impolite.

It was made for me! This is my soda!

I like feeling the cold around me while protecting my vitals from it.

As I'm sure you've heard and maybe even contemplated, I can generally warm myself up. It's a lot harder to cool myself down, at least past a certain point.

I used it all the way up until Google broke compatibility with it, then continued using it with a third party plug-in until that stopped being maintained.

Now I prefer Signal over Chat.

Honestly, that was some 25-30 years ago. It was pretty simple to setup back then, but it might not be the same now, especially in Windows.

I used to be able to do that, too! These days, I live with two people: an adult wife and a toddler. Their gaits are pretty easily distinguishable.

I used to almost exclusively listen to any kind of audio through headphones. I had a microphone near my desk configured so that it would pass through the vibration of footsteps directly to my headphones. I was rarely startled, no matter what sordid activity I was undertaking.

"Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead."

(Even then I'm not so sure)

The answer is appreciated, root:root.

Ah, that is somewhat more plausible.

Maybe, but it seems unlikely that any kind of aircraft would be flying that low through a populous area.

Yes, and I don't share their sensibilities.

Just this photo makes me want to hide somewhere very close to the ground, maybe even under.

Ahh, see, you're definitely not troping properly. Though probably intelligently.

Isn't it a law that links to TV Tropes have to come with a warning about time lost on the site?

Regardless of "can" or "can't," I wouldn't stand on a modern balcony that had passed inspection at that height, let alone a crumbly unsecured hole that has made no promise to maintain its integrity. Even if there were hypothetically no risk, I see no rail or even, like, a cable.

A strong gust of wind or particularly intrusive thought could easily ruin one or more lives there.

I was wondering this, as well. Apparently Kamala says she worked at McDonald's previously and Trump claims that she's lying. Since that matters for some reason, he's working at McDonald's to draw attention to the alleged lie.

I think that's what's happening, but don't take the above as gospel.
