Road. I was stuck all night at an illegal roadblock in Nicaragua during the protests.

Actually I looked it up on my blog, and it was 4 gallons (not 8) for 12 hours of idling with AC. I updated the post above.

I know why it's wrong, but it also looks and sounds wrong to me.

When I see people waddling when they walk. Why the *** don't you bend your knees when you walk? Is it World Penguin Day?!!?

There's a well respected OOTer whose entire speech pattern pisses me off. Everyone thinks they're smart and well-traveled and I just see pretentiousness and amateur flowery prose.

You would probably also enjoy hearing I have never left the windows open in my house during a nice day. Although I'm not sure why as I think I'd enjoy that.
Aside from the CO2 emissions and the global implications, the exhaust is locally annoying, you are getting 0 mpg, and it just smacks of laziness and entitlement.

I'm sure there are far worse things I do that you would get on me about than leaving my car running for 20 minutes once a year because for some odd reason I had to eat lunch in my car.

I've never noticed exhaust in the city I live in (or any city I've visited) so I don't see how it would be considered annoying.

You think I don't turn my car off because I am too lazy to move my hand 12 inches to push a button and not because I prefer spending ~$0.50 to eat lunch in a more comfortable temperature?

I know that my speech pattern pisses people off, but I am not well respected and do not think I am smart or well-traveled so I'm feeling great about this post.

Obviously someone he's met IRL, because speech pattern can't be determined from writing style.

Unless you're writing dialogue, stop writing "like" in place of where a pause occurs in spoken speech. You have all the time in the world.

The thing that intrigues me is somewhere everytime I have Alexa fart, a counter somewhere is incremented, and a developer gets some satisfaction of a job well done, and likely he/she is being monitored and recognized for contributing a useful skill to the ecosystem. And the petson may get tasked with creating additional skilld

So make Alexa fart. It may save someones job.

uh-oh. I should have read this entire post before acting. Now our Alexa fart-counter is also running. But now that it is going, I see no reason to stop it at 1.

Pretty sure it is recording other users' farts all the time and using those. I have contributed.

Also, now that I have told my 7 and 4 y/o about this I think that hypothetical developer is very safe. FYI, she does not poop. My 4 y/o escalated.

Pretty sure he got called out for it immediately after posting his voice so you're just copying someone else's complaint.
