    @ttscoff I found out that I have a natural immunity to lidocaine while in the Army. I was driving an armored personnel carrier that slid down a wadi (dry river bed) and when it hit the bottom my chin slammed into the driver's cupola, splitting it open. The medics shot lidocaine into my chin until it looked like I had a balloon growing out of my face but I still felt every stitch as they sewed me up. Side note: Also had my wisdom teeth removed by an Army dentist while out in the field that same year.

    @podfeet I cannot duplicate the circumstances you describe, not have I ever heard that was possible. Can you try a second browser to see if the behavior occurs again?

    @jaek 35 meetings in one week would be the end of me. I'd melt like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.

    @esamecar I've never understood the cool kid's endorsement of Reeder so universally. I use the web interface for Inoreader and I can't think of anything I want it to do that it doesn't already have built in.

    @alexandra That's an excellent summary. Did you get the impression that there are two groups going after River?

    @rscottjones My least favorite statistic of all time is that that the most visited national park is Great Smoky Mountains NP in NC and TN and that 90% of the people who visit never go more than 50 ft from a road. There is something very affirming about getting far, far away from the crowd and even the Eastern US, our national parks let you do it.
