....
The thread was mostly off-topic and insults. I had a bunch of reports about it, and then seeing a hot mess of a thread that was functionally nothing but DMV commentary and comments about "flowerhead"? Even the commentary that started to be reasonable (the visa piece) was basically unrelated to the OP....
As I said derailing happens a LOT.

Many call him flowerhead, I think Kingnobody started that. I will take credit for Loldgrim.

And neither of those is okay. Insults are pretty clearly spelled out in the rules. Also, telling me a thread is going to get derailed constantly doesn't exactly win my vote to put it back. Use Random P+R if things are going to wander, that's what it is there for.

Ever lift the iPhone 6+?

Felt flimsy. I always liked that iPhones felt sturdy, and the 6 series, both of them, have moved away from that, at least when I've held them.

Rooks, why do I keep checking my character pages to see what has sold even though I haven't put anything on AH in over a month?

Your subconscious is telling you to return. Listen to your gut!

I mostly grew up in Ohio

1. Do you enjoy watching the Buckeye's play?
2. Why are Ohio roads better than Michigan roads when we both get pretty mean winters?
3. Why are there so many corn crops in Ohio?
4. Do you like roller coasters?
5. Ever been to Cedar Point?
6. Why are humans the only mammals that drink milk from other animals when we produce our own?

Not particularly, since I didn't go to OSU.

Quote:

Lots of reasons, involving regulations around truck weight (as Nik pointed out), a bigger tax base, and to be blunt, better management.

Quote:
3. Why are there so many corn crops in Ohio?

It's a relatively robust, low-maintenance, high margin crop. Corn is in high demand, between the desire for actual corn, ethanol, and HFCS.

Quote:
4. Do you like roller coasters?

They're ok. I don't mind them but they don't get me all worked up.

Quote:
5. Ever been to Cedar Point?

I lived in the middle of the state, so whether it was Kings Island or Cedar Point for any given trip was basically a coin flip.

Quote:
6. Why are humans the only mammals that drink milk from other animals when we produce our own?

The two biggest reasons are that we're the only species capable of reliably milking other species, and our needs for milk go beyond infancy (and mothers' milk doesn't really last long enough for those purposes). If a chimpanzee could get a bucket under a cow, they'd probably drink it too.

A cursory search says no. I'm not going to dive down into the advanced search, so you're on your own.

This was the closest one I found:
This one is funny if you like cats.
I guess it's true though, other animals are trying to milk cows.

I grew up in Indiana, and Kings Island is probably my favorite theme park that I've been to thus far.

I haven't chopped firewood in a long time. I'm not the type to slack though, so I'll go with Rooks would chuck all the wood that Rooks could chuck if Rooks could chuck wood.

0-0 or 0-0-0?

Insufficient context. Generally speaking I prefer precision, so 0-0-0, but I don't know the context of this question.

Not really a question, but I'm excited too. Capaldi's a glorious actor who's dreamed of playing The Doctor for fifty years, and Series Eight was a mess in terms of script quality. They'd better do right by him this year.

Like this question? Consider it pro bono.
