Have you gotten older? How many “older” people have you interviewed to come to this assumption?

You posted a statement claiming to know how older people think - he was correcting your arrogant assumption.

Downvoters don’t know about etymonline.

Engine

Motor

Your definition is just yours - I see ebikes doing 35mph+ on the sidewalk all the time.

How do I know they’re going that fast? Because that’s how fast I’m going on the street, and I’m not passing them.

To your point, “engine” at one time referred specifically to an electrically driven device, and “motor” referred to something combustion driven.

Etymologically, engine means “mechanical device” and motor originates in Latin meaning “mover”.

I do agree with OP that a 2 wheel contrivance with any kind of motor/engine is a motorcycle (motorized cycle) from a regulatory perspective, though I’d never call one a motorcycle.

It’s fine. The cooler just needed to go on a little walkabout.

As he said that’s the best advice. Don’t choose to make it enticing. That’s about what you can do.

You can’t stop the morons who break into cars just for the hell of it.

Use it as a security camera.

Knew there was a reason I liked Finns…

You ain’t right.

Hahahaha, made me snort.

Or a cheese grater, like the small kind on a handle.

Only of you want it mixed with oil (which I’ve occasionally made myself using olive oil).

I’ve used them, but find an old fashioned butter dish on the counter works better.

Salted butter won’t go rancid at room temps before its used.

Dude, historically board of directors has been old white guys.

Its a funny meme, not a political statement. Don’t get your panties in a twist.

Hahahahaja

There’s also the ubiquity of certain elements/compounds.

We look for carbon-based because of the ubiquity of carbon. Is life (or anything) more likely to occur based on the most ubiquitous chemicals or the most rare chemicals.

Simple odds.

Wow. Off to searching for articles in Nature! Hello rabbit hole…

Non-tonal simply means the denotation isn’t carried by tone, not that users of the language don’t use tone. It’s an interesting distinction.

John McWhorter has a few courses in The Great Courses catalog about language - its pretty fascinating stuff. He covers things like tonal languages, and how even for a linguist like himself, they’re tough to learn.

Agreed

Fine.

So don’t even bother locking your doors then?

You absolutists are part of the problem.
