Do you type with 2 fingers or all fingers in a sweet touch typing symphony?
I hold the Ipad in my left hand and type (fairly quickly) with the middle finger of my left.
Same question.
touch typer, learned in high school. Thank you Mrs. Breathspeare!
Digital books or physical books? (This question is standard)
Physical
Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd
Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Tom Petty or George Harrision?
I'll go with Petty. I like Harrison's stuff, but I think he worked better adding flavor to the Beatles than as a solo.
The Cars or Devo?
The cars?
John Updike or Phillip Roth?
Philip Roth by a light year...Updike becomes more overrated with each passing year.
The Portrait of a Lady or one of the novels from James' Major Phase (The Golden Bowl, The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove)?
The Portrait of a Lady, I like the confronting of destiny and human conciousness 'stuff'
Great paintings should be in (ideally) museums or places of some public access or privately owned? The latter, perhaps(?) encourages and spawns more art and more artists, but it comes at a societal price. More and more great paintings are ending up privately held and museums don't have the budge to compete.
I say both for the solid reasons you gave. Painters' labor should have as much access to the free market as any other laborer. However, once it is established a certain artist is a significant part of a country's, or the world's, culture, there should be some requirement for private owners of that culture to share it in a manner benefiting both society and the owner.

PS Hoffman.

Songbird or raptor

Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett
Raymond chandler
Raymond Carver or John Cheever?
John Cheever by a nose. Carver's structure and sardonic wit may barely edge Cheever's, but Cheever's style and profound social commentary make him the winner.
Quentin Tarantino or P.T. Anderson?

Spiderman. Daredevil is just another Satanic ploy.
Long hair or short hair?

Eastwood. McQueen was always flaunting his sensitivity.
Mister Rogers or Big Bird?
Big Bird.
John Malkovitch or William Macy (actying ability-wise)
Both great talents. I'll give it to Macy for realism and believability, despite my fondness for Malkovitch in Dangerous Liaisons.

Black coffee.
Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts?
Peanuts.
Snoopy or Bugs Bunny?
Snoopy!
Bugs or Daffy?
bugs bunny for sure but daffy is a good foil.

FUDD!
Chief Wiggam or Mr. Teeny?
Wiggum!
Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen or -bonus- Angela Merkel (to rule over your country with an elected majority, none of the above is not an option)

highlighter (difficult choice)
