Finally - someone civilized!

Eggs get bought only as a recipe ingredient and then I buy a half dozen. Otherwise they’ll just get tossed later. I can’t remember the last time I bought a full dozen eggs.
Wow. We use a shit-ton of eggs. I make two or three eggs every morning for the dogs and birds. I eat one or two each morning for breakfast. My gf drops one raw into her lunch smoothie. We have hens, but our current flock is older and production is down. My gf buys three dozen a week.
I like eggs, but it’s just me in the household eating them, with the exception of when my wife is in a baking mood.
That being said, I’m waaaay down from the dozen a week when I was doing low-carb. Not just because it’s a lot of fat and calories (okay, that’s because I cook it in a skillet with butter, and love me a omelet du fromage!) but because it’s no longer the super-cheap source of filling protein and fat it once was.
When eggs were regularly under $2 US a dozen, and often on sale for half that, it was worthwhile to always have them as a quick “breakfast for dinner” option, or for 2 eggs on salad greens/toast for lunch. Or just a great way to kick up some ramen! But since the default in my area at least has been $3 per dozen or more for the last few years, it’s just less attractive.
All those complaints aside, I probably go through a dozen every 2-3 weeks, because I do like said omelet, or baking, or need an egg wash/binder for another dish. And I still love me an egg lightly poached in my ramen.
And this is why you simply cannot win with conservatives. Tell them to do the right thing, they’ll not do it just to spite you. Tell them the wrong thing, they jump down your throat for telling them the wrong thing, like they suddenly care about facts when it suits them. They’re intentionally going to be unhappy no matter what you do.
It’s all they have left. They’ve abandoned anything other than “No!”
In the vaxx poll I voted other. Really, if my opponents are that contra-factual, there’s no point in gaming the system to try to kill them. You can account for crazy, but trying to understand and play mind-games with crazy is more likely to damage you (mentally) than them.
So, my other, is do the right thing (and get to preserve your mentality) and let the crazies do what they’re going to do, and blame who they’re going to blame.
The only way to win is to not play.
Of course… if I was said politician, and wanted to remove my enemies on the subject from the field, I’d just do my best to pass legislation/Imperial Ordinances that made NOT complying with the public best interests/good science illegal.
And then I’d enforce this against the idjits. I have no problem watching them spend all their money contesting it, it’s a rounding error when it comes to government expenses, but it’s less money than they can then use to support their fellow crazies.
Of course I am Lawful Neutral with evil tendencies… 
I’m trying to figure out how he functions with being tied up in knots that way
These are both things I do. When you mentioned your cat, I remembered a dachshund we had when I was a kid. If you didn’t push in the chairs around the dinette table, she’d use to chairs to get up to the table. If the butter was left out, she would (time allowing) lick it until nothing was left.
The out of state travel thread was weird, which a massive emphasis on many different fractions of a day / week / month and then seldom and never.
I picked seldom, since I go out of state 2-3 times a year, but part of that is that I’ve lived most of my life in the bigger Western states, where I can drive 200ish miles [322 km for people not using stupid units] or more in almost any direction and still be in the same state. 
Agreed! I had to pick seldom, but would have picked a frequency between seldom and “regularly: several times a month” if that option had been available, since regularly I go out of state around 8-10 times a year.
I’m a medical courier. Sometimes I leave the state a couple of times a day. Sometimes all my deliveries are “local.” My Red Cross facility covers 62 of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania as well as hospitals in West Virginia, Maryland, and both Carolinas. (Thank goodness for GPS.)
Before I was a driver, I mostly stayed here in PA. I used to live close enough to the border to travel to Ohio for flea markets and such, but now I’m further east so I dont do that anymore.
I live in a small state, but don’t leave it very often. Still, i would have said maybe once a month. I probably travel to nearby states 5-20 times a year, depending on where various events i go to get scheduled.
I also picked “seldom”.
Yes, this. I didn’t answer because none of the choices really felt right to me.
I did mean to put in a once a month choice but missed it.
Our old house was right by the NC/SC state line. We went that way nearly once a week. Now we’re smack dab in the middle of the state.
Yeah, I didn’t bother voting, even though I leave my state probably a dozen times a year. A major excluded middle!
I expect it’s going to make a lot of difference, for most people, how close you live to the state border. For some people the border almost literally is in their back yard.
And very much music – but not all the time. Mostly silence; but that doesn’t mean a lack of enthusiasm for occasional music.
When I lived in San Diego, I travelled to Baja California often, but rarely made the long drive to Arizona. Now I’m in Canada, and cross the Washington state line often, but never into another US state. Cross state lines? Often. Cross from one US state to another? Seldom. I didn’t answer the poll.
Agreed. Between going to Wisconsin to see my parents, out-of-state gaming conventions, and occasional business travel, I travel out of state probably somewhere between once a month and once every two months, which I consider to be reasonably frequently, but the poll’s options make that “seldom.”
