You got me stumped. Can you explain it?

My adoptive mother passed away some months ago from old age, being sixty years older than me, and from Christmas Eve to the night after, the melody and lyrics of us singing “up on the rooftops” got stuck in my head.

What are you looking for in one?

The scary part is, supposing he wasn’t the murderer and the actual one is out there, under normal circumstances, people could post wanted signs to see if someone might find this “actual” killer, but we aren’t under normal circumstances right now, with our circumstances being ones where the turnout for finds would be low in a world where wanted signs of random billionaires hang in random places in New York, with Brian Thompson actually not being a big opponent of society, having come from poor, rural Iowa and wanting to reform the business but lagging due to hoops (only to, then, be killed by someone he had not had under his insurance to begin with).

Genuine question, but supposing we were to consider this theory, why would there also, one, be complaints about the cops parading him around as a victory, and two, people saying Luigi was a hero?

Whether you love or hate cops, they are not stupid. I’m sure if there was even an ounce of suggestion that they got the wrong guy, the cops would quietly decide not to be so smug about it.

And to those who side with him, he’s either a hero/idol or he didn’t do anything. Pick one. I myself pick the third choice.

Also, of note, it’s quite a coincidence they found the guy, then found out his name, and then found out his wealthy upbringing, evidenced by the fact he was trying to be as low profile as possible at the time, which would’ve curbed the ability to do all of that in reverse order. If he wasn’t the killer, that’s like firing a bullseye in the dark.

Maybe the difference is most people don’t do just two.

I’m sure it happens, but it’s rare (and premature).

It’s a Criminal Minds reference, though people do use this method, including me.

Yes, this is implied. It’s also why many people use digits of pi as passwords and make the password hint “easy as pi”.

What we’re talking about can easily be devalued, among other things.

I was today years old when I learned that.

Yes and no.

People tend to forget even ancient peoples had ways of preserving food. The Romans would either dig a ditch and dump their food in it and it would keep their food preserved due to the elements, or they’re keep smoke from a fire flowing over it, with the smoke keeping bacteria from forming (in fact, if I am not mistaken, the second of these works better than refrigeration for some things, since it is easier for bacteria to adapt to the cold in semi-sealed containers than where the air is actively harmful).

Even after electricity, this was all still common for a while (and people still do it now), but they would specialize it more (instead of, you know, digging some improvisedly crude ditch) and this is where the idea of ice storages in peoples’ basements came from. The setup all just kind of came with the home. Where most people have maybe two refrigerators, the pre-refrigerator containment area like my second refrigerator, which helps because the area where I live is prone to some challenging stuff.

I’m way ahead of you on that one. Thanks.

Good but tired. Eating someone else’s cookies is a lot of work.

I also saw Santa drunk at a local bar, and it was at that moment I realized I was going to have to do the gifts myself.

There was an unexpected turn of events today that has given it new purpose. I have a whole day ahead of me now.
