Thanks!

I didn't really think it was, just being funny when I couldn't find the word I wanted.

Heading off to etymonline now...

Of you're bothering someone it's not because you're confident, it's because you're socially inept.

I say this as someone who was very socially inept for a long time, and today I'd say I'm just not as socially "ept" as some people I admire or as I'd like to be.

Socially "ept" people are first interested in others, not in their own ideas or goals first. Or at least they're damn good at focusing on the needs of others first. I've worked for some people who are incredible at this. Some actually care about other people, others are good at giving people what they need, to get what they want, yet you still walk away feeling good. (That's a very interesting experience).

(Is "ept" a word? I haven't looked up the etymology of "inept" yet).

Check out Rockbox

You don't need the Rockbox OS on your iPod to use their sync tool, if I remember right. But it's a better experience in my opinion.

Also, you can uograde your iPod with more storage, more battery, and Bluetooth.

Not always.

Sometimes it's so integrated into the other systems there's no separate component to "rip out".

You may be able to pull the antenna cable and put a dummy on it (like used for testing radios). It'll absorb all the RF from the transmitter.

It's not just Honda.

And I blame you for MY getting sucked in. Interesting stuff

No, they don't change inside (I've had them). They do have a slight tint all the time though, which isn't a big deal.

The ones I've used time the pedestrian lights with the traffic, so it's safer for them. Still tricky for peds going across turn lanes.

Holy cow-had no idea they made those.

Yes, and well-made crust like this is delicious.

Unfortunately lots of it isn't great

They transition just fine in winter, even down to 10f or lower.

They have a version that works in cars now. But that's an issue with the car windshield blocking UV. So leave a magnetic "clip on" shades in the car. They look exactly like your frames, with them attached you can't tell they just stick on from the front - they look just like your glasses.

Never had them not work in cold. They change even during heavy snowfall when it's well below freezing and well, no sun, heavy clouds. It's great because they help with the glare from snow.
