One of my favorite time travel versions in SF is that of Connie Willis: When you try to travel back in time, if you would have changed the timeline by any noticeable amount, you either (a) just don’t go–the machine doesn’t work–or (b) you go, but the timeline adjusts by like dropping you in Siberia 20,000 BCE or the center of the Pacific or something. Either way, the timeline is what it is, and you can go observe, if you’re very careful not to change anything. Your time travel is part of the timeline, and obviously it didn’t change anything significant because here we are…
The consistency of when you eat (or the lack thereof) plays a bigger role in this than the diet itself, although it’s known that heavy meals in the evening can disrupt sleep.
And we can all at least understand when it doesn’t get closed after someone takes a slice. Maybe the last person thought someone else was going to get a slice? But a box remaining open with zero slices removed… that’s not human.
The next person has to be ready to reach for the slice. I don’t care if someone is intending to get a slice. The slice is being grabbed or the box is closed. It’s like holding the door open. If it shuts before you’re in reaching distance, your timing wasnt correct. It’s never rude to shut the box, it always courtesy. This is serious pizza business, and right now our world runs on pizza time. Guess what? It’s pizza time.
What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It’s really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn’t quite right, but you can’t work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.
American cars have been using both metric and SAE fasteners since at least the 1980’s. I wish they would just gone all metric so I wouldn’t have to drag out two socket sets anytime I need to do anything.
I just hate the fact if 10mm is too big, I can get 9mm, but if 15/16 is too big, fuck me, I guess. Bringing the full toolbox over because what random fucking bullshit number comes before it?
Like I’m here to fix shit, not do math to figure out which socket is one size smaller.
