I believe it's also documented that he has an underdeveloped amygdala, so he literally doesn't experience fear in the same way most people do.

...which is easily misconstrued as "feeling less fear" which I don't believe for a second. If that was the case he'd be dead by now.

But it's certainly time we admit everyone feels feelings diferently. Even something basal like pain experience is hugely individual with large variation.

I certainly believe he feels less fear. Doesn't mean he wants to die. I'm sure at an intellectual level he enjoys life and doesn't want it to end. I just doubt he gets the innate "nope nope nope" of fear that 99% of people would get when contemplating an activity like this.

Does the iOS keyboard not let you turn that off?

Nice thing about Android though is that you have more control to work around this kind of thing if you don't like the default behaviour. I rolled my own night mode with Tasker years ago, before it was built in, and have never looked back.

The instant outbidding is likely automatic due to you not having reached the previous bidder's entered bid.

As a Canadian, the free printing and mailing of paper checks anywhere in the country is perhaps the wildest US bank feature to me.

What did you do with all the random stuff?

I was mostly handing it out to anyone and everyone that wanted any. Someone left a space heater on and burned the entire building down, so I lost everything in the end. I kept debating about whether to take it further and just go nuts and order a million items, but while it was "lulzy" as hell, it was also pretty wasteful.

However, you could offer a service to existing Amazon prime users to help find these fun, cheap gift items. Maybe generate punny jokes people could include in the notes if they want. Join the Amazon affiliate program and earn a few cents from each...

I recall using this occasionally in the 90s even. There was also a period where I would regularly "one ring" my parents as code to call me back. IIRC that was because my cell plan had unlimited (or at least more) incoming minutes.

It will never stop being weird to me how US mobile plans make (or made) you pay for incoming calls and texts.

Collect calls would have been a thing until cell phones got very common because you had to use pay phones when you were outside and you somehow never had quarters.

Haven't done it in a long time, but years ago I had a similar realization that picture frames were cheaper than cards. So you can frame a little note, either with a picture or just suggest they can reuse it if they like. Buying greeting cards always felt like kind of a waste. Lately our kids' schools have been doing a thing each year where the kids do some art and then you can buy cards (and other things) with it, so we've been using those as they're at least a bit personal. Once that's done, maybe I'll give picture frames again (or paperbacks or cans of tomato soup...)

Agreed. There's a tier list that probably goes something like Bluey, Daniel Tiger, MLP, Paw Patrol, Pepa Pig,,,, Caillou.

I'm far from being a Caillou apologist, but putting it below, much less way below, Pepa Pig is rather harsh.

Fair enough, my kids are older now, so my memory isn't too fresh. And I despised both of those enough that I didn't get much of a sample size! Man could I not stand Caillou though.

It's easily the worst PBS Kids show I've seen, which makes it average for children's TV.
