Is this, by any chance, about Rosa DeLauro representing Connecticut's third congressional district?

Learn to shift based off the sound of the engine, don't stare at the tachometer.
Unless you're like my grandpa who had his engine replaced at 20k miles because he revved the engine until he could hear it running before putting it into gear. Between quieter modern engines, and his hearing not being as good as it once was, that meant he redlined it in the driveway every time he started the engine.
He only got a couple more years out of the new engine, but that was because he couldn't turn his head very well either so he didn't bother looking before changing lanes.
I, personally, have no issue with being gay, agender, or affectionately or sarcastically referring to oneself as a faggot, but none of that is relevant to the particular usage that got you in trouble.
You weren't talking about yourself. You tried to bait another party into using hate speech to escalate a dispute. You wanted to weaponize a slur to play the victim and get someone else in trouble. And you did so in a public place where your behavior caused offense to bystanders.
Fraternal service association, like Elks Club or Rotary Club? They may have traditions, but not a theology. They're nominally harmless, if not beneficial, both to members and to the community at large. They're easy to leave, just stop paying your dues.
If you fry them with enough butter and garlic, even bugs taste like food.
Some do, and inter-library loans are a thing.
So don't poop in the kitchen sink. Got it!
I would have understood Michaelmas as the feast day of Saint Michael. My studies of hagiography are too limited to say which day that is or why he got sainted. Nor did I know that British people used (maybe still use) that term to refer to an entire season.
Probably spoofed, but that doesn't necessarily make it meaningless. If you convert numbers to letters per the telephone code, and treat 1 as a space or similar punctuation. It might resolve to KISH NORM. Is that phrase meaningful to you? Do you know anyone who would spoof a callerid to send you that message?
My microwave's beeper only work in 10s increments. Meaning if I enter a cook time of 91 seconds, I get 91s at high power, 9s at low power, and a beep. If I listen for the power change, I have a 9 second window to open the door. It's perfect; no annoying beeping, and the timer reads 0:00 so it doesn't need to be cleared before reuse.
Elliptical orbit is what you get when all gravity vectors point to a single source such as Earth's center of mass. If you instead make the "flat Earth" assumption that all gravity vectors are parallel, then you get a parabola. Since most of us aren't throwing things very far on a planetary scale, the parabolic approximation is frequently considered "good enough".
