Maybe the biochemical warfare agent - aspartame - has something to do with it as well? It still boggles my mind people consume that stuff. Oh please. That's such an old myth. The *only* place you'll see that repeated is on the various pseudoscience health sites where you'll also find screeds on how vaccines cause autism. |

During the day keys in the pockets are of course different, I have my keys in my pocket during the day at work etc., but when I get home I take everything out of my pocket keys, cellphone, money etc., then I change clothes and the last thing I want is anything in my pockets.
Ditto
In my case, it's because I will often lay down on the couch and don't want to worry about sticking myself with the keys or rolling over and activating my car's "panic" button.

I do find it odd that you have a lock that requires a key to be used from the inside.
Dual cylindar locks are more secure than single....
Actually Blue's is one of the few excuses that makes sense. If you have an armload of grocery's or something I can see that happening. Leaving the keys in the lock. I've done that.
I always have safety on my mind, and never have full arms when going to and from the door. I would rather make an extra trip to the garage to get whatever I couldn't carry rather than have both hands undable to protect myself.
I keep my wallet, keys, phone, gun with eachother at times. And they are always in 1 of 3 places together. Kitchen counter, desk, bed side. Makes it easy. And I hate things in my pockets. I wear jackets and outerwear so that I don't have anything in my pants pockets. It is annoying to sit on things or dig in pockets.

Diet soda tied to stroke risk, but reasons unclear.
The "reason" is correlative, not causative. People who drink diet soda are concerned about their weight. If they are concerned about their weight it's likely with good reason, i.e. they are heavy. If they are heavy, they have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Is the logic really so torturous that this needs to be explained?
Well put - - I was thinking the exact same thing ....

Our deadbolt is keyed on both sides too, but when we're home we leave a key in the inside lock to avoid any fire issues. If someone breaks in when we're home, we would definitely hear the noise I got a house last year. When the inspector did his report he made a point to stress that when I get the house rekeyed I should NOT use the two-sided key deadbolts because it's a fire hazard. Screw him. The house is a security nightmare with glass EVERYWHERE. I'm putting in that kind of deadbolt and doing what you do - make sure there are keys in there when I'm home. If I forget and there's a fire I'll just throw myself through the glass.
OK, a year from now when I'm typing a Blues News post with scarred, fleshless burn victim hands you all have my permission to laugh good and hard.
On Edit: I apologize for unintentionally offending anyone who might be actual burn victims or who have friends or family who are. |

It's probably a New York thing to prevent being able to break a pane of glass in the door and reach in and unlock it
It's the same here - - we have a long strip of glass along side our front door, and although it's a beefy piece of security glass, it's still breakable and would be an easy way to break in. Our deadbolt is keyed on both sides too, but when we're home we leave a key in the inside lock to avoid any fire issues. If someone breaks in when we're home, we would definitely hear the noise ...
BTW, the Encyclopedia Brown reference is *really* dating you!

It's probably a New York thing to prevent being able to break a pane of glass in the door and reach in and unlock it, though if you are willing to break glass to get in you could always use a window. This certainly seems like overkill for us, as this is not a high crime area at all, and I'm guessing it is also possibly a building code violation as a fire hazard, which is one of the reasons I like to keep my keys in the lock (which completely eliminates the crime prevention aspect too). If I ever change that lock again I'll probably get one with a knob on the inside. |
