So I mean this to be not-at-all insensitive; it's a legitimate question...
How do blind people know how much toothpaste to use?
When I come home late from work, I don't want to wake my wife, so I try not to turn on the light — but I'll be d@mned if I can brush my teeth in the dark!! «shrug»

Even though I'm usually
pretty loose with my humor,
sometimes I've been known
to come up with a comment
even I consider offensive and
in bad taste. Thus I'm
not gonna post it; sorry, not
sorry.
Look I get it, you're curious
if it's REALLY that bad but
sometimes you just have to
take my word for it!

I've often said, rather than wiping out mosquitoes — nature has a way of fighting back — we should figure out how to genetically engineer mosquitoes that produce, like, Vitamin C or D, or anti-malarial compounds, e.g... Then we'd *WANT* them to breed and bite us! 🧪

Is it ethical to eradicate certain harmful species?
In a new paper, researchers argue that deliberate full extinction of harmful species like mosquitoes is acceptable, but only rarely.

Jony Ive doesn't impress me. There, I said it...
The man who did away with the iPhone's "Home" button, and moved the Power/Screenshot button from the top to the side, directly opposite the volume buttons, obviously doesn't understand "Form FOLLOWS Function."
And don't get me started on "FlatUI"! 🤮

It is time to get in the mood for baseball. Let’s read this and then watch Bull Durham again.
