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.

Did Wolverine bribe Lobo to take a fall? I think I read that in the same trope binge.

If they're a pain in the ass I think you might be wearing them wrong.

Thanks for the information!

My wife has woken me up several times because I was saying "no no no no no no" in my sleep. It's not loud enough to disturb anyone not in the room and I live in a pretty rural area anyway, so I've wondered in the past whether I did that with any regularity before I shared a bed with anyone.

The existence of rugged smart watches seems fairly likely, but I can't comment on that.

However, I can tell you every smart watch I've ever owned (which admittedly isn't that many) has some form of protective case available and replacing a case is a lot cheaper than replacing a smart watch. Example (no affiliation, just randomly selected):

Do note that this might interfere with some functionality of the watch. For example, I previously had a Fitbit Charge 2 (IIRC) which offers an ECG function. However, it relies on conductive pads on its body for that. All the cases I found blocked those pads which meant the scan wouldn't work. Everything else worked fine, though.

Reminds me of a classic meme: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c2/ea/74/c2ea74852e5afe737b9b98565c0cb496.jpg

I only have a vague memory of this because it was a single comment I read on TV Tropes a decade or more ago, but weren't some or all of the requirements lifted to allow that? IIRC, Superman wouldn't have met the requirements because of a "lack of a warrior's spirit." No idea regarding Wonder Woman.

Because, even if what you're doing now is fine, moral and legal, it might not be perceived as that later, whether by your friends, neighbors or government. This has become especially relevant in recent years. Even if your own opinion shifts to match later trends, your past actions might hurt you.

You might be doing nothing wrong and still jeopardize your future self.

Three stories? You're a brave soul.

I got the reference but thought the modification unnecessary.

That too.

Originally they started the title with ... Sigh ... A hashtag. In markdown, starting a line with this makes it a header, which generally increases the size of the text. Probably your client tried to respect this, though I think it's unusual for a client to do that for a post title.

How we wish.

There's always a bigger ... Structure.

I have heard, but never in any way verified, that there was code that tried to identify whether you were running 95 or 98 by looking for a version starting with 9. If true, it would mean some code might treat Windows 9 as 95/98.

... How often did the snake thing come up?
