It's raining out? No pizza for you. Snowing, you also gotta come pick it up yourself. Really cold out? Really hot out? No delivery.
The entire US population must be really spoiled and lazy, because in the rest of the world a guy on a scooter will deliver your order in all those conditions.
Also, I can't imagine the additional airflow resulting from not being enclosed in a passenger compartment will do wonders to keep your pizza piping hot while it travels to your residence.
So they trust nobody and in turn expect stores to trust them? I don't think so. You can't have it both ways. Either behave like a normal customer and be treated as such or behave in an erratic paranoid manner and expect to receive the same treatment from your retailer. Just for fun, walk into a department store wearing a balaclava and look around three or four times before you pick up something. See how long it takes before security takes an interest in you.
I recommend an optics course as your very first step because no distortion of the image on the screen will correct for the failure of your eyes to form a sharp image. What you want could possibly be done with liquid lens technology, but it will take decades for that to be anywhere close to affordable for the large lenses needed in this application.
The stuff I am doing is not necessarily unimportant!
It may be important to you but it's not to the person you're talking to. It took me a while to realize this, but this whole "I'm a nerd" thing is just an excuse to behave like a spoiled inconsiderate brat.
You don't need to go as far as quantum physics. Human intuition on physics is very limited. Even something as simple as a toy gyroscope makes no intuitive sense.
What if the test reported nothing wrong and the kid turned into a fat lazy slob because they didn't have a special incentive to lead a healthy lifestyle?
I turn a wheel on the side. That slowed down clock pulse ends up in a solenoid which drives the hands through a mechanical gear train like in a spring driven watch.I suspect that there's a friction coupling involved somewhere.
You're not familiar with the Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie? You have seven (7) days turn in your geek card at your nearest LUG. Delays will not be tolerated.
The manufacturer usually is somewhere in China and they generally don't deal with individual stores. It either goes to a wholesaler or to the central warehouse of a chain of retailers. We're talking about bulk goods here, not about printers or PCs. Worst case, there is an RFID embedded in the packaging. IME (the place where I work sells SD cards amongst other stuff) 9 times out of 10 the packaging ends up in the trash before leaving the store. The card goes into the device while the customer stands at the counter. After a week nobody knows which individual card was sold to which customer.
Let's see on the one hand we have a confirmed Mars like planet nearby, at least orbiting the same star, on the other hand there may be faint evidence of Mars like planets so far away that we need huge resources to barely deduce a trace of their existence with no plausible mechanism of transporting that material to Earth. I'd say the chances are above 50/50 that Mars is the culprit.
So you wear gloves and stick it in a letterbox far from your home. In a big city the other side of town should be far enough. Don't wear your AFDB when using public transport. It makes you look suspicious or a least memorable to potential witnesses.
I think you severely overestimate the logistic capabilities of electronics retailers. They don't keep track of the serial number (if it even has one) or batch number of every bargain bin item that passes through a store.

And somehow they manage to blame the EU.

They have insulated boxes on the back. Your food will arrive steaming hot.
And they usually have a car on standby to fill the big orders.

So the Boston bombings were really only a failed attempt at beef Wellington? That explains the cookware involved!
But can you really say that you have drained the cup of life or did you barely sip from its rim?
If you average more than one injury per mile travelled, I suggest you stick to walking.

A god-like observer can observe without interacting. Back in reality every observation is an interaction.
Breast feeding fascist? So that's what BFF stands for!
You sound very convinced of your own importance. Which is a polite way of saying that you sound like a pompous ass. Maybe you are one, I don't know.

Charcoal appears to be a very useful soil addition.
For further reading look into terra preta and its modern incarnation biochar.
Hip, up-to-the-moment name? Check
Can we uncheck that one please? Thanks.
The update went fine for me as well. My machine got bricked but it's a massive improvement over having to use Windows 8.

And then you were spared the disease. Even a 90% chance of getting it means a one in ten chance of living to a ripe old age.
Healthy.
Destitute.
I wonder if you can get insurance for that.

How do you set the time?

I doubt it. My watch has only a crystal oscillator with a fixed frequency divider in it.
Oscillating Eddie, now that's a great nickname.
