Your pupils get massive when you’re on LSD, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re able to let in more light to let you see better.

- Comment on Great Lakes Mnemonic 8 months ago:
A mnemonic is usually a way to memorize the order of a group of hard-to-remember words or phrases. You come up with a set of easy to remember words, or a phrase that starts with the same first letter of the harder to memorize words. For example, Every Good Boy Does Fine is a mnemonic to help people remember the lines on a musical note staff (E, G, B, D, F). For most people, it is easier to remember the phrase “Every Good Boy Does Fine” than to remember E, G, B, D, F so if you can remember the mnemonic, it makes it easier to remember the things that you’re actually trying to remember.
In the picture, the mnemonic is “Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly” which is supposed to be used to help someone remember the great Lakes. However, notice how every word in the mnemonic starts with the same letter (L) and is used to memorize the Lakes which also all start with L. This makes the mnemonic pretty useless.
A proper mnemonic for the lakes would be something like “Super Heros Must Eat Oats” (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario).

- Comment on Why is the current temperature sometimes lower than today's low temperature? For example right now it 13F with a predicated low today of 16F! 11 months ago:
I know it doesn’t really answer your question, but that UI is so confusing. What does “13°F Today 29°F/16°F” mean? We can assume that it means it’s 13°F right now, and today was predicted to be a high of 29° and a low of 16°, but there isn’t really enough information to know for sure without additional context. The 29°F/16°F could be the predicted highs for the morning/evening instead. 13°F could also be the predicted temperature for today and 29°F/16°F could be tomorrow’s predicted temperature. There’s just not enough info to know what the numbers are saying.

Every time I’ve tried to have a quick chat and set up a date, I’m called creepy for wanting to meet in person right away. Guess I’m not good looking enough.
