I like the ungrounded North American electrical outlet and plug design (NEMA 1-15). It has no safety features, but it's very compact, and very easy for device manufacturers to create folding plugs for USB power supplies and the like.

Those who aren't vegetarians/vegans need to calm down about others eating meat that belonged to certain animals just because they have an attachment to a member of their species. Yeah, I understand, social mores, but you're being hypocritical and cows are sacred in India...

Green olives for snacking, ~~blue~~ black olives for cooking. The other way around should be a crime.

If a state isn't at least partly in Central Time, it can't be in the Midwest.

Obviously not all states in Central Time are in the Midwest, either, that's just the lowest bar.
