But isn’t Mantan Moreland much more entertaining?

Wouldn’t you have to give me an hour or two in order to weigh in? 
But isn’t the answer “almost definitely even though I love my Pebble”?

Sure, you probably don’t know that I did some work on Hancher? But Coralville, Hancher, all this stuff, isn’t it car dependent?
Don’t you know you can get to the Metropolitan Opera for $25? That’s if you don’t want to wait in line for Shakespeare in the Park (free) or $10 Broadway rush tickets?
It’s not for me, I’m glad you like it, don’t you know you can have my spot at the bar?

Then you’ve got nobody to blame but yoursefl?
Or bicycle or bus or Uber? Or by a pleasant 1 mile walk through a park along the river (going from Downtown Iowa to Hancher)?
Does that include two drinks at the bar?

So is this your cross to bear? How did you wind up in this situation? Can I say something has been bugging me about you being flagged out of regular status? Isn’t it mainly your prior attitude of “flag the bad” and let the moderators sort it out? Is that no longer your position?

Perhaps you haven’t? Did I get that entirely wrong?
On a different note, aren’t I finding the exchange rate on “OtherMichael likes” to be significantly lower these days?

Do you really think there’s a two drink minimum to see opera?

Depends on the opera. I won’t go see any of Puccini’s depressing slogs without at least three stiff ones. For binge-watching the Ring cycle, coffee works better. I’m not sure what’s best for something like De Materie, though I think watching people in NYC sing to livestock would put a smile on the faces of many Iowans without the aid of any libation. (There’s a two-headed sheep in Monticello that you could write an opera about, I reckon.)

Aw, c’mon, aren’t some operas quite entertaining?
And won’t I admit that some are boring, since I had to sit through 1.5 boring shows as part of the opera season tickets I bought one year?

does anyone here besides me get really irritated at an incompetent use of both language and science in commercials and public speakers? has anyone else seen the ad for a type of non-stick cookware that i saw this morning which claims the non-stick surface is “chemical free?” does anyone here really think they’ve managed to produce a frying pan which uses solidified light/electrical/magnetic/thermal/nuclear energy to make a non-stick surface? does anyone here have any idea how one would make a non-stick surface out of matter which could in any sense be described as “chemical free?”
