Huh, neat. Thanks for the explanations!

Ohhh interesting. Still rather unusual from my perspective. Do they keep the ground clear from fallen leaves and branches?

Any thoughts on the grass? In my part of the US, I've never seen a forest where the ground is covered in grass like that.

Technically "electrified", but that doesn't sound quite right to me, so I say "electric shocked"

Sorry for being a bit pedantic, but "electrocuted" means "killed by electricity". It's a combo of "electric" and "execute".

Tell her that you need more than a little saliva to get a DNA sample. Also Santa's DNA would have to already be in the system. It was a good try, but it simply wouldn't work.

Basically "I was right about this one thing, so I must be right about everything!"

People were listening to low-quality audio all the time before things went digital. The radio was the most popular way to listen to music for a very long time and it was not high quality until relatively recently. There was vinyl for a while, but many people just bought cheap turntables and didn't see a need to spend the money for a quality one. Audio cassettes were far from lossless, and people would put them into cheap stereos or they used cheap headphones. Cheap headphones have been used for many decades.

My point is that the general public has never really cared about audio quality, and the people who do care have always had ways to hear quality sound. I don't think that has changed at all (or if anything, quality has become cheaper to achieve, so more people can afford it).

That is hilarious, but what an absolute fucking moron. Why are people so dumb, I don't understand it.
