The wind would scatter the tiny microchips, which could sense their surrounding environments and collect information. The scientists say they could potentially be use to monitor for contamination, surveil populations or even track diseases.

Not quite as bad since it won't happen in motion, but there's no way to release the parking brake on my Honda if it has a dead battery. I really hope I never have to push it partway out of a parking space so the jumper cables can reach.

My Outback has an electric parking brake and I curse Subaru every goddamn time I reach for a nonexistent handle like I should have next to my manual shifter. But nOoOo, it's gotta be eLeCtRiC, because ReAsOnS.

I just leave it in first or reverse all the time anyhow.

this was a human DNA test kit. the animal ones are even less regulated.

I wonder if there are some SNPs that are common between humans and dogs and the company just said "gently caress it, give a report with what we got". Though they don't seem to give the raw data results for download, so no way to check how broken the sequencing became. They might just fabricate everything for all we know.

Are there nonsexual orgies?

Anyway, the orgy both lasts for decades in narrative time and is sprinkled throughout the book, so the answer would have to be “during”.

Eh, better option during the dry season than wasting water every day to try to keep it green. It would suck to sit on or walk on barefoot since dead grass is ouchy, but a lot of lawns are purely decorative.

the ones that are also a potluck and some brain genius brought a maximum bean taco spread are usually nonsexual unless everyone has enough willpower to not eat the delicious tacos

considering its a fuckin' orgy it's safe to assume nobody has any willpower
