I tried brass quick connect hose fittings but the ball bearings kept denting the brass and the fit got worse and worse.

I replaced them with some stainless steel quick connect fittings I found on ebay from a power washer supply place. They have held up much better. The main drawbacks are cost and the seal is non standard so you would need to stock up spares/ hope they keep selling them.

The bond angle in water is always 104.5° except in some of the more exotic pressure dependent ice phases.

Sure, but it's normalized to kgs of product. With two lattes a day, 2kg of coffee lasts me more than 2 months. 2kgs per person of beef would last many households less than a week.

If you were to normalize to average daily consumption, coffee and chocolate would be significantly lower ranked. It's ok to keep some indulgences while focusing on higher impact reductions.

The ridges of the weave in my pants sometimes produces a vibration that is similar frequency and intensity as my phone vibrate. It totally triggers the check the phone reflex even if it happens while my phone is in my hand.

You're right those are not synonymous terms. I was sloppy with my word choice.

His method would work well, but using ~~spray~~ expanding foam in a finished interior space is something that I would not be comfortable to do. That stuff is so hard to contain and is permanent if it gets on anything that isn't expendable.

Dramaworld was one of my entry points and I think it serves that purpose well.

Maybe the dog thinks the person is hangry and needs a snack.

What's your source of canes? If they're free from a neighbor/friend and you can get more later, and the only thing you have to lose is water and effort, then give it a shot. If I were paying for them I would wait for when they are dormant in the fall/early spring.

I love having raspberry bushes, but having them take over an entire yard is nightmare material. They are thorny, grow fast and choke out everything except the mulberry basal shoots. They would be near impossible to elliminate except by killing everything and starting over.

I'll try frozen custard for good measure.
