I got into an internet argument with someone who claimed similar with my usage of "dude."

In the wise words of a great poet of our generation, "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes, hey."

I still use dude with everyone.

Genuinely: don't forget. Ask the same question 3, 6, 12, 24 months down the line. The news might change but the need won't

Finally a level-headed take. The world isn't ending overnight, it'll just get shittier

I always thank my friends for having a good time. It's easy when saying goodbyes. "Hey thanks for hanging out, it was fun!"

Might need to bump up to 0.8mm

Whoosh

Probably not. By the sounds of it, it's "just" traffic court... You'll be herded into a courtroom with a couple dozen others, and each of you will be called in turn to speak to the judge. Kinda like a pop quiz. You'll be told your charge and be asked a few questions. If you're polite and genuine you'll likely get off easy, since people LOVE to fight back and dig their hole deeper.

Back in high school I was in a similar situation, and basically got it completely dismissed because I was young and it was my first ever infraction.

IANAL

Nice, Ron

Yours doesn't?

The old adage "they don't make em like they used to" heavily applies to fridges. Our 30 year old fridges in unininsulated garages (one at home, one at a workshop) keep going through all the abuse and neglect, but the 3-5 year old fridge in the kitchen always has problems. Replacing it with a different brand only slightly increased the reliability. I'd foot the electricity bill for peace of mind.

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written.
