Being "the goat" or "goated" is good. No clue as to the etymology though.

Did you know you can buy seeds for common weeds?

For anyone curious on how this sort of video is made, OK GO has a great behind the scenes for "I Won't Let You Down". The biggest "trick" is recording the video at a different speed than it's played at. It gives everyone just slightly more time to hit their poses and still have it look crisp in the end result.

I call myself a stable genius on a regular basis

I'm sure you'd adapt.

My dad owned part of one of the first wind turbines in the country, does that count?

Ecco sells metal shoehorns that are a) cheapish b) nigh indestructible and c) long. It's honestly surprising how massive those things are. Could club a burglar to death with one and not dent it.

If the coating is starting to flake you need to stop using them. You're really not supposed to eat that coating.

Sliiightly more debatable, but you're not supposed to emphasize one over the other iirc. Go read the GDPR, for legalese it's surprisingly readable.

Nothing. Having a toggle for "legitimate interest" is nonsense. The GDPR lists some exceptions to when you need to ask for permission, these are "legitimate interests". Things like remembering someones IP to keep track of bans is allowable without needing to ask for permission.

Of course advertising agencies promptly went to work trying to bend the language of GDPR so they can claim they are a legitimate interest and therefore exempt. It won't hold up in court.

The GDPR is surprisingly strict, and a LOT of the cookie popups you see in the wild are not at all compliant. To give an example: having your "accept" and "reject" buttons a different font size is explicitly not allowed.
