Right - I think the difference is that, when using a fob, you’re likely within line of sight or at least nearby your car and so presumably could observe or otherwise check for car occupants, but so long as your car and phone both have reception you can use the app from anywhere without any clue who might be in or around the car.

I used to have a Tesla (traded it in). In the app you could open, but not close, the windows. It could be inconvenient at times but I assume the reasoning was similar.

And, as a bonus, any ghosts or demons therein!

And can be configured to only communicate within your network.

In EverQuest there was a character named Canloe Nusback who would accept endless amounts of Crushbone resources in a repeatable quest and so who was commonly used for grinding.

It was popular to call him “Camel Nutsack.” Once, I told someone in OOC chat that he was “fondly” referred to as such and someone else said that they’d never talked about a nutsack fondly. The exchange stuck with me, apparently for two and a half decades. Thus, your username reminds me of that conversation and, subsequently, the character and game.

I mean, for at least the first five letters, I can’t even tell the difference.

Every time I see you, your username reminds me of EverQuest.

I think I’ve brought it up before.

Did you know that the nip slip is why YouTube exists? Not necessarily gonna call it a positive, but an interesting conversation.

I am wondering this also. Several DDG searches returned nothing that seemed relevant.

I don’t honestly know.

Yesterday I had to go on a long drive. During that drive, I passed a yard in which someone had placed an obviously homemade billboard with the words “wind turbines destroy family, environment and quality of life.”

I was flatly stunned to see it. I’ve heard that stuff about them killing birds but I’ve never heard they were otherwise contentious. In fact, everyone I know personally loves to go look at them given the opportunity.

Because of the space, I think. The responder translated it to its ASCII value so the link parser was able to parse it.

I think you’ve just neatly summarized, uh …

… The world (such as we’ve incentivized it, anyway).

I need to play “shave and a haircut” with my toothbrush (“two bits” is the toothbrush landing in the container and bouncing once) or I don’t feel safe.

If I don’t sip from my water bottle - thirsty or not - before leaving my car and entering a store, something is bound to go wrong.

Wait until you find out about healthcare. Or banking.

Every popular chat client since IRC has been IRC plus whatever feature was seen as needed.

I’m old enough that I met my wife on IRC. A younger coworker of mine once said of modern chat “you can only reskin Slack so many ways.” He was right but got one word wrong.

In what way does waiting fuck up your health? I’ve never done it, so it’s very possible I’m wrong, but I would think that doing so much walking would be good for one’s body.

Regarding the last line, Macklemore has a song called “Light Tunnels.” It’s basically the story of going to some big music awards show (and his opinions on the matter).

I don’t care about music awards, but I do like the song; at one point he’s describing seeing his face on a big display and thinks to himself “just look normal, don’t become a meme.”

I think that’s a pretty solid line but probably difficult advice to consistently follow in a public facing role.

It makes life harder on Spider-Man if you bury things.

Honestly, that whole saga happened very shortly after I started using Reddit. I don’t have much of an opinion, I just know a bit of the lore.

It does indeed sound like he knew quite a bit about birds.
