Would it be an error to make it a comedy?

Nappies are cargo pants of a sort.

Linus Pauling was 93 years old when he died of cancer. In the period leading up to his death he enjoyed mostly good physical health and retained cognitive function. Mega dosing vitamins is pissing away money, but certainly did not lead to his demise.

The license California offers undocumented drivers is specifically not a Real ID and cannot be used in place of one or to acquire a Real ID. Incorrect expiration dates on these licenses have no effect on the reliability of a Real ID and is a separate issue.

It’s true, I can’t deny that vegans approve of protecting the universe’s seals.

Come on mothers throughout the land

Pack your boys off to Vietnam Canada

Come on fathers, don’t hesitate

Send your daughters off before it’s too late

Be the first one on your block

Almost every place I’ve worked I’ve had to deal with people as you describe. If you want to advance you need to develop strategies to deal with disruption. Depending on the situation you could; explain you are trying to learn a specific topic and ask them for their experienced insights (a little flattery never hurts and they might share helpful information), enforce your boundaries and say the question is a bit personal and makes you uncomfortable, say the day has you frazzled and you need quiet time to concentrate/regroup (again maybe flattery, I don’t know how you are so calm on a day like today), redirect the question back on them (you don’t actually have to care and listen, just some fake active listening nodding, say really, wow and make some eye contact), occasionally give some tidbits to appease them and not appear too stand-off ish, could be real or just make shit up) Consider what Jordanlund said, it might be their way of dealing with pressure, be more understanding, everyone has different coping mechanisms. Also tell yourself the situation is temporary, it is a stepping stone to your next goal and you will not have to deal with them forever.

Not taking away from your larger point but mostly not inflation but profit taking. Early in COVID corporations holding functional monopolies learned demand was inelastic and commenced to price gouge.

Dang ol’ photosynthesizers man that gad dum oxygen I tell you what

Is this where they get rid of the telephone sanitizers and middle managers?

I use the name Donner to make restaurant reservations just to hear them say, “Donner, Party of four”
