Why anyone would ruin perfectly good cereal with .. cow secretions .. is a mystery to me. But, to each their own.

Same, but I'm usually trying to find a good YouTube to watch.

As a side note, watching YouTube (Netflix, TV, Hulu, take your pick) while eating has got to be one of the worst habits. You start watching and eating, you finish your video but you still haven't finished eating. Time to find another video then. But then you finish your food before the second video ends. Well, I have to finish watching this, so I might as well get something else to eat while I do. And repeat until sick in the stomach, head, or both.

How about when you look up any route like "VA-20"  or "NC-33" , but the results end up being something completely different, like some random fighter jet?

Or Arkansas State Highway 15.

I'd love to fly in a State Route 71 though

When searching for the Wikipedia entry on a given route, I try to avoid hyphenated constructions for this precise reason.  This is unavoidable for Kansas because the entries do follow the local idiom of K-2, K-3, etc., so I add "highway" in the search box.  This usually leads me to the desired page without a stop for disambiguation.

The firearm iteration of M-14 is arguably more interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(U.S._state_and_territory_highways) is the master key in case anyone was wondering. This page basically exists because NE2 decided this was the hill he wanted to die on back in 2007 and basically led to everyone having to go to Wikipedia Supreme Court over it.

Milk ≠ Cereal
Liquids ≠ Cereal

Cereal is better dry.

Same here (when I used to eat cereal). I can't stand soggy cereal, and when people would say "you just eat it quickly so it doesn't get soggy", I then wondered "why do you even put milk on it to begin with?".

I went to ANI for a handful of reasons, but being Roadgeek Anal™ was certainly not one of those reasons.

This went way past ANI, all the way to freakin' ArbCom.

So did a recent ANI case of mine, but again, it was for a bigger reason than being Roadgeek Anal™.

I forgot to take down my satellite dish down during Hurricane Wilma, and the winds bent up both sides like a taco. The post mounted to the side of my house eventually broke free, but now had an additional 30-degree bend in it.

I really felt like Hughes did a decent job mounting it -- the thing didn't budge when he tried to wiggle it around, but it has been very bigly windy around here lately.

A minor thing that used to bother me...

Ever since I got my Pixel 6 phone, the song/media information would only display on my mother's 2016 vehicle, but not my 2013 vehicle... same make and model, but just an older model. Apparently, there was a patch to the Android 13 OS just recently, as the media information is now displaying again. This makes me happy as my vehicle has just 97k miles on it, and is no immediate need for replacement.
