I just want to commend your "got given" passive imperfect sentence construction.

Reply to Is Fidium worth it for WFH? by Alkivar
So far, so good. As far as reliability, the last big storm I knew some folks nearby that had Spectrum outages but our Fidium connection kept working like a champ.

Vitamin D helps your body use Calcium (basically doubles the amount you can absorb). Your body produces it by exposure to sunlight, thus the recommendation in the winter months.
Vitamin C helps you to avoid scurvy.

Yes, and what I said was also correct. But your bias clearly differs from mine.

> can't be banned without banning all temporary signage on public property
I think what you meant to say was can be banned, provided the rule is applied evenly for everyone. Makes perfect sense.

Get in front of them, then slow down to even slower speeds. Once they get out of the lane to try and go around you... speed up.

No, they would use underline. Using quotation marks like this predates the typewriter by a few hundred years:
> The 1549 edition of a French book entitled Champ Fleury, for instance, set Latin quotations in italics, creating a precedent for later books to employ quotation marks or italics to call out text that their authors felt was worthy of note. The marking of such “gnomic utterances or sententiae”—weighty, proverbial or otherwise notable aphorisms—was immensely popular among readers and writers of the time
Also, Boomers (born in the 40s-50s) were already young adults by the 1970s and 80s and would thus be pretty familiar with keyboards and computers.
