As a counter point, the hat is a great way to protect against AC water drips. My biggest fear about walking around any city (but NYC in particular) is an actual AC machine dropping…

My little sister was so afraid of her Furby that at one point she threw it off our roof to try to kill it. That didn’t work so she ended up putting it in the freezer. This will not…

Whenever I hear the words “American carnage”, I can only think of this scene.

I actually felt that sharing this provided a more credible starting point for the discussion than my own viewpoint. I did not think to confirm whether the paper had been published …
