@davidfrum My issue with this is your assumption that education is the same thing as subject matter knowledge. It's not. Knowledge can be easily looked up on Wikipedia. Education is an experience that fosters a lifelong thirst for knowledge. But you're right that not everyone wants that.
Usually my neighborhood is safe, but I'm hearing a lot of gunfire tonight. Might be a border dispute because my neighborhood straddles the city limits - city vs. county jurisdiction. The skirmish is far enough from my house that I feel safe, but it's loud.
It's weird that I'm kind of an expert on audio but still have no idea why it's necessary for music to be so much louder than dialogue in movies. And Hulu still does that thing with loud commercials. I'm expert enough to know it's not necessary, but not enough to understand why.
It's the Top of the 82nd. Trey Yesavage continues to toe the rubber. His first son, born in the 47th inning just took his first steps. The umpire's strike zone has extended to both dugouts. It's 6-6 with no end in sight. The winner of this game plays again in 4 minutes.
@annahrenee14 I love it! ๐ In addition to my own experiences, what prompted my tweet today was hearing an extremely serious looking business dude (at an airport) saying a really silly beer name. Glad I didn't laugh out loud, but it was funny.
I think it's cute that craft breweries make up clever names for their beers, but I suspect it's an inside joke allowing brewery employees to laugh at how awkwardly we say those clever names when ordering.
