Years ago I followed my GPS down an increasingly narrow road that stopped at a locked gate. Since then the road has been re-signed so it's clear it doesn't go anywhere. You can get through on foot or on a bicycle but not in a car.

It's always a shame when people who claim that things are based on a misunderstanding (as the author does in point 13, rather predictably bringing up the whole LGBTQ issue) and they don't even attempt to explain why they thing it's a misunderstanding or what they think is a correct...

I read an article this morning that featured a restaurant owner in NYC saying it's hard to operate when there are no consequences for crime, when the staff don't feel safe and when customers don't feel safe. It's sad, NYC was a place I felt perfectly safe last time I was there, although that...

Carpet in the bathroom.... yick. Had that when I was a child. It didn't last long before my parents got rid of it. Having two young boys in the house - ahem - learning to aim and a carpet on the floor.... not a good combo.

We have mostly hardwood floors, although some rooms are carpeted. It's nice to have something warm underfoot in the wintertime, but in the summertime it makes less difference. One room I refurbished had a huge rug in the middle of the floor that turned out to cover a really badly done staining...

If it's someone I know I'd just keep talking to them. No need to specifically ask the question, "So, did you come back to Jesus yet?" because that sort of question just gets annoying. I wouldn't see a need to stop associating with them and, if the relationship is appropriate, I'll get an ongoing...

In theory it's good. In practise I wonder if it will just create another pay model where instead of using cookies the companies have to pay Google to get at the same data. I'm finding more and more sites won't work with ad-blockers enabled. So it's always a question of whether to disable the...

Or in a similar line when you've got a thread posting about a specific local event where emergency services are involved and it takes forever to find anything useful in the thread because everybody and their dog insists on posting "prayers", "praying", "prayers for all involved" and the like. By...

Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

Lots of interesting factors. Given his claimed wealth one might expect him to be able to borrow a few hundred million, especially since it could be secured against one or more of his properties that are apparently worth that much. Perhaps he's not worth anywhere near as much as he claims...

Even if he does have a 10-figure net worth that doesn't necessarily mean he has hundreds of millions in cash sitting around idle. I suspect most people who are very wealthy only have a fairly small proportion of their total net worth readily on hand in a checking account.

Sometimes I feel old enough to wonder if music back then was just banging rocks together or something.

It can be a tricky one to figure out, although the first step (as it looks like you've done) is to figure out what's important to you, what you'd prefer to see, and what showstoppers you have. When you refer to good music, what are you looking for? Are you looking for strong solid traditional...

I'm quite happy with scrambled eggs the way they are, with a good slug of hot peppers or hot sauce added. If we ever end up with some spare ricotta I might give it a try. Then add some hot peppers...

Posting. It would put an end to social media, which overall would probably be a good thing.

A good one can be gently warmed and eaten on its own. I don't think I've found one that is particularly good on its own when not warmed at least a little.

Way to ask someone their age without asking their age.

You could try reading what I wrote instead of throwing out another strawman. If you want to make a point, how about summarizing the contents of the video in your own words? Anyone can post a video link and say "what do you think of this?" Well, you made lots of comments about me so the fact...

I'm not over 65 so perhaps this is of limited use but, for what it's worth, I haven't taken the COVID vaccine or the flu vaccine or the shingles vaccine. I probably won't take this latest one either. I've been vaccinated against a whole load of other stuff - the usual childhood things and...

Sadly when God planned the end of the world he forgot to copy me on the memo, so I can't say for sure whether there will be any more popes after Francis. I may be mistaken on this but I thought he took the moniker Francis I specifically to imply there may be a Francis II in due course, which...
