Woman used as an adjective like this sounds so wrong to me (probably because it isn’t an adjective). If you wouldn’t say man voter, man driver, men reporters, etc., then why would you say woman voter, women drivers, woman reporter? Just because some people use ‘female’ in a way that you object to shouldn’t make all uses of it objectionable. Do you want a world in which we can say ‘male patients’, but have to say ‘woman and girl patients’ instead of female patients? Why??

We had the Sears version. Just not as cool

I still think his point could have been made twice as convincingly through the magic of buying two of them

So, what you’re saying is … sometimes there’s a movie… I won’t say a film, ‘cause, what’s a film? But sometimes, there’s a movie. And I’m talkin’ about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there’s a movie, well, it’s not the movie for its time and place.

I’m sure it smells better than the ISS does, too.

Yes, there is a gender divide in the polls, which is concerning. It is not as big a divide, though, as between urban and rural, white and black, or old versus young. I think we need to be careful about finger pointing like this.

If we play up these divisions too much, how then will everyone be able later to come together to somehow again blame the left for the failings of the two parties?

I will mock this specific ad for overusing the word to a comical degree, though.

Don’t get me wrong. I agree. Mock away. I was just commenting on how this is something we can’t seem to get away from.

No worse than the “atomic” or “space-age” days that followed, and way better than “block-chain” or “AI” of today.

I do appreciate comments like these, which is unfortunate; I would have enjoyed replying to this with “Jark!”

Seems pretty good for 1.1 x .9, and for .9 x .8

I guess values must be pretty close

Pumpkin pie is always made with squash. Occasionally, those squash are pumpkins

Yeah, that’s not gonna end well

I can’t imagine that 3 years of data is even remotely enough for this. I have articles of clothing that are decades old (3+ decades old), but I have never bought any piece of clothing expecting it to last that long, and the clothing that lasts isn’t always the type that I’d expect. At best, 3 years is enough for a “snapshot” of the life of most clothing, I would think.

Then again, I’ve owned the same car for the last 21 years, so maybe I am not a typical consumer.

Interesting that early canines had a very cat-like gait

After some thought, I’ve decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as “Oceangate-gate-gate”

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix “gate” to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as “Oceangate-gate”
