Ah, the tragedy of any in-joke. If not everyone is in on the joke, eventually it stops being a joke.

You should definitely assemble a new scene with this one as a casualty on the ground! It looks very naturally damaged.

Which pro-nuclear posters are pro-fossil fuels and anti-turbine? I've never encountered anyone like that.

I'm going to go a different direction and argue that the RS232 has always been the most androgynous and third-sex of the connectors because:

  • the female connector is most frequently the one that's a cable
  • the male connector is most frequently directly connected to an appliance
  • the male has the pin prongs, but is almost always recessed.
  • the female connector has the the prong holes, but almost always juts out.

Who's connecting to who? Who's the top and who's the bottom? Who wears the pants? No one knows.

I don't know how much weight I put on a British person's opinion on issues relating to the Irish and Ireland.

Eh, I think you might think heat pumps are more complicated than they are. I think they're about as complicated as a furnace. At the end of the day, in both your just pumping a gas from one place to another, changing the state of the gas, and then running that past air to heat or cool it.

I actually agree with you on that one. I hate voicemail. If I don't pick up, shoot me a text or send a voice recording through the messaging app.

I can see why you'd fear phone calls then. In my family I get a call from my dad about once a week to ask about my day. Usually the family texts more in the mornings, and more phone calls in the evening. Plus for a while I had to pick up the phone anytime someone called for work reasons. You just get used to it after a while.

No it doesn't. Just don't pick up the phone. If it's important they'll text you to pick up the phone. There's a reason the terms "phone tag" and "screening calls" exist.

Same with the Virginias.

I would say that it's too early for anyone to know what a more solidified etiquette will be. So for now just do whatever you want so long as you pay attention to any changes in public opinion or rule changes.
