Does the tip of the bullet protrude from the barrel?

When in doubt, throw it out, but if a thing looks and smells and tastes fine it probably is.

But this assumes some experience. Like I know from experience that if dairy tastes fine to me, it really is fine. I will taste off flavors in milk long before it bad enough to make me sick. And sometimes dairy can last way beyond its use-by date. How cold your fridge is has a huge effect, but there is also much luck-of-the-dice around microbes getting in.

But something like, say, potato salad which might have flavors that vary and could cover up something going off... I will throw that out if it gets old or I've lost track of how old it is.

I asked an LLM, and it confirmed they don't know anyone like that.

I think for that effect, you just need to be political or controversial in such a way that you tap into the polarization that afflicts our society. In that case, provided your transgressions are not ones that your fans' 'team' cares about, or are ones that the opposing team cares more about, then you are guaranteed to have those fans continue to support you. With any luck you can portray yourself as a victim of the enemy team, and therefore be a hero to your fans' team.

They probably thought your over apologizing was wholesome, and could tell from your manner that it was sincere. Most people understand how easy a mistake it is to make, and can relate to being embarrassed about it. A few months ago, I stepped into a men's room just as a woman hurried out apologizing embarrassedly. It happens.

Its the toxins coming out of you.

And that leaching will be vastly influenced by pH. So if your soil or rain is acidic you'll get a lot more.

The wording really doesn't make sense. I interpreted that sentence as sloppy wording intending to mean "even if they didn't have the privacy issues I'm not sure they'd be the future the future of wearables. "

Nah, leave ketchup packets on the window sill with the outward facing end cut off.

As long as they are raking the leaves, like in Finnish forests.

I don't know if this would solve your problem, but I would try getting a pair of replacement foam ear tips for your earbuds of choice. I always buy the Comply foam ear tips. They come in S/M/L sizes and they make them to fit most ear buds.

I don't have extra small ear canals, I just prefer them.
