Can this keep num lock engaged? I swear my biggest frustration with windows lately is it's habit of randomly and arbitrarily turning off numlock after I've turned it on. I never turn off numlock while working. I never use the number pad arrows. I prefer the number pad numbers and use them practically all day. And yet, several times a day I find my cursor moving around the screen instead of typing a number because windows decided that it got to control the numlock function instead of me and the dedicated light up key designed for that function that has worked fine for me for decades before.

Kinetic energy scales not just with velocity, but with the square of velocity. Speed makes a BIG FUCKING difference in your ability to avoid an accident.

Yeah, King's endings tend to be a little messy and narratively unsatisfying sometimes. Gunslinger is easily my favorite of the series and just about every other thing he's written. On my last read through the story, I started with my original copy of The Gunslinger, then read through the rest of the series (reading the disconnected but related stories just before the final book), and finished with the revised edition of The Gunslinger.

No metal + oxygen = rust and sometimes that reaction is encouraged by a catalyst that remains in contact with both. You think they're going to go to all that trouble and not going to rinse and dry the tank when they're done?

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Either way, you can put passengers in the back of an SUV, but not in the bed of a truck (without breaking laws or being totally unsafe).

You are already capable of communicating to your cat that you are in pain. Be honest. Make sounds of pain when they hurt you, the same way you would train a kitten not to bite or claw with malice. Your cat will understand. Just don't get angry. It's easy for cats to forget about empathy in the face of anger.

Right? Most of those are all the kinds of regular maintenance things you button up BEFORE a long trip. Windshield cracks are usually either quick fixes or fixes that can be delayed or patched until you finish the trip.

Frequent enough stops to limits butt pain and blood clots isn't such a bad idea though.

I see you prefer women that lack confidence and don't know their own worth, or at least won't advocate for their worth. If a man wrote similar lyrics, would you have the same issue with her song? After reviewing the lyrics, they don't seem all that different than 90% of the hip-hop and pop boasting that comes from men.

Marshmallows are like ogres, you've got to torch and eat the layers bit by bit before you slurp the gooey center.

Agreed. 90 minutes to go 2.3 miles sounds like a snails pace. That works out to just under 40 minutes to walk a mile. Most healthy adults should be able to jog or fast walk a mile in under 15 minutes. A 5k is about 3.1 miles and most of the slow runners finish in 30-40 minutes. I would consider 25 minutes per mile a leisurely pace. 40 minutes per mile must mean a lot of signalized intersections. I've found a mile or two is the perfect distance to walk home from the bar after a night out (weather dependent obviously). Maybe Google thinks they'll be walking drunk?
