I prefer the 31st - it doesn't come round so often, and when it does, it is with an annoying hiccup in the pattern...

Fried checkin.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Get your coat, or I'll throw it after your corpse!

If at first you don't fricassee, fry fry a hen?
Hang on I'll get my coat and join you!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Men no like thinky[^]
Seems reasonable to me.
Quote: So, sat in a room, with nothing to do for 15 minutes but press a button that they knew would administer an electric shock, 12 out of 18 men pressed it and six out of 24 women. These people intentionally gave themselves an electric shock. An electric shock.
Those who shocked themselves, did so an average of 1.47 times during the 15 minute period. Except for one maverick. Who did it 190 times.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

This is why those people who want to go to Mars are insane. Unimaginable levels of boredom.

Be that as it may, but I've given upon trying to really help on Q&A.
See, some people do learn from there mistakes,

I would have had the button and the chair dismantled inside the first 5 minutes.

Someone has trouble jumping to the right conclusion.
Being alone does not mean that one "automatically" starts with thinking. Being bored for fifteen minutes and discovering the environment does NOT mean that one does not want to think. Nobody likes to be bored, but an empty room also does not invite for personal reflection.
Where do they keep finding these so-called "researchers"?

I'd press it. Probably not 190 times though. But after a couple of minutes I'd get curious about that shock. A minute more and I'd have to know.
Of course I'd be thinking the whole time - about that shock.
|
|
|
|
|
Curiously, I wouldn't
I already know what an electric shock feels like, and go out of my way to avoid them...

So you wouldn't stand on top of the train bridge peeing on the power lines then?

From the bridge, I'd be perfectly safe[^]

But would you do it?
Then you should consider the possibility that the train line you stand above has overhead lines with 25kv.
(650V third rail sounds more like the underground to me.)
Still probably safe actually. But would you do it?

Not really - not just because of the risk, but because I don't consider it acceptable to pee in public. It's bad enough having to clean dog pee off car and motorcycle tyres - human pee I don't want to have to clean up, so why should I make someone else do it?

Wow I stand I awe for this level of ignorance.
So what can I gather from this statement of yours?
1. You've obviously never had any children to look after.
2. You've been also spared from caring for disabled elderly persons (like uhmmm your parents or grand paremts maybe)
3. Urine is one of those bodily secretions with the least amount of bacterial contamination compared to what other orifices have to offer. So what's the deal with that? (This may not be true for some cases where uretheral infections are involved.)
4. I'm a hiker, a biker (bicycles) and a fisherman and pretty please dispatch of my accumulated liquid wastes however fits the purpose. (OK, I try not to do that in populated areas, especially when other, more discrete, means of disposal are available)
Cheers!

You'd take wrong as well - I've changed my share of nappies and wiped my mother's bottom when she had her brain tumour. Doesn't mean I want to clean up after strangers, any more than I want to go round with a pocket full of pooper scooper bags and clean up after other people's dogs!
