I've solved this problem by simply being scheduled 7 days a week for the rest of eternity.

I must be combining scenes, but I distinctly remember one where it was made a point that he was naked at a point.

My 4th grade teacher read a chapter to the class every day, same with the sequel. I specifically remember the part where he was standing outside naked in winter and some tree bark just kinda exploded, and he was freaking out trying to decide if the freezing bark caused it to expand and explode or if a hunter was out there shooting bullets at him. Also, the part where he finds an orange-drink packet in the survival supplies of the plane and describes the taste of it.

Edit: I think the tree bark part was in the sequel, Brian's Winter.

My actual view on this.

Put your money where you spend your time. Don't spend money on something if you won't be using it.

You spend a lot of time sleeping, so get a nice, comfortable mattress. Spend a lot of time on your feet at work? Get durable, comfortable shoes/boots, and maybe some nice insoles so you don't limp back to your car from pain. Spend a lot of time playing a F2P video game? Go ahead and buy that DLC or cosmetic item to make it more fun, and support the devs to keep the game going.

The list can go on, but before any non-trivial purchase, I ask myself how much time I will spend using it.

There are some things we don't have to imagine, because everybody has experienced licking it. One such example is OP's mom.

Instead of making live action remakes of animated movies, we should make more Muppets remakes of live action movies.

I have never gotten a reliable answer from a quora result. I avoid them like the plague now.

This is exactly what mega-corporations want. If we save money, they don't get it.

On one hand, this is great for lost or stolen phones. On the other hand (and rest of the body), this is horrible for privacy.

Had a group that would play DnD 3.5, where you need to roll to confirm crits (20 auto hits, roll again against AC to crit). We ended up rolling to confirm fumbles as well because catastrophic failure doesn't just happen 5% of the time. Imagine 5% of your army accidentally chopping their foot off or beheading their nearest kinsman every few seconds.

If you stay away from sketchy sites and don't click every link that says "DOWNLOAD NOW", Windows Defender and a web browser with ad-blockers should do their job well enough.
