    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Saturday was an hour of speed repeats, yesterday was a gentle walk because neither my wife nor I really felt like doing much of anything, and today was a longer gentle run. I think my running shoes are ready to be retired, there's not much support in the heels any more.

    Unwanted Snake

    Able to? Yes, it's not difficult. Willing to? Depends on the snake species. Something venomous isn't to be messed with lightly. If it's a constrictor they are safer, you just don't want a bite to get infected because it will probably try to bite if you grab it. If you know how to grab a snake...

    37 Banned Vintage Toys

    Hard to say, when a web site designer assumes my attention span is so short I need to click "Next" 36 times, rather than simply listing things on a single page, the usual outcome is I click the X and don't bother.

    LGBTQIA+

    I'm not sure what the I means but think the A means Asexual, namely the people who don't want to have sex with anyone. Apparently they need to join protests to assert their right to not have sex with anyone. I remember the columnist Dan Savage mocked them for it some time ago, asking why they...

    You keep in your car "just in case"

    In the winter I carry enough warm things that I can either ride out a night in more or less any weather within normally expected winter parameters, or walk to somewhere safe. I'm reasonably competent driving in snow and ice but just about every year the first snowfall is soon followed by...

    The most disastrous date

    It really depends on how you decide something was disastrous. Back in the 90s I went on a date with a young lady. We were both interested to see the film Jerry McGuire but both of us came out of the cinema thinking it was garbage. On that basis the date wasn't brilliant, but the young lady in...

    The Northern Lights

    I saw some pictures showing them in London. I got a good view of them in Norway many years ago. They were beautiful.

    Neglectful supervision

    The trouble is "left home alone" is such a vague term it serves no purpose beyond rabble rousing. It's one thing to leave a 10-year-old unsupervised while you go to the store that's a 5-minute walk away. It's another thing entirely to leave a 12-year-old unsupervised while you go away for the...

    USA Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight

    Is it any more "dictatorial dynasty" than former President Bill Clinton's wife becoming secretary of state and a presidential candidate in her own right, or former presidet George H W Bush's son becoming governor of Texas and then president in his own right? Is it any less appropriate than the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I got a load of drywall pulled down, smashed up and bagged up ready to put out with the garbage. So far I didn't tackle the lath and plaster but did remove a bunch of manky wood trim that will most likely end up in the fire. Tomorrow maybe I can start pulling down the lath and plaster.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Wasn't sure whether I'd get a run in today, the forecast wasn't great but I decided to go for it. My suggested workout was 75 minutes, and I also wanted to tick off a 15k run this month, so I did the suggested workout and just didn't stop when the timer beeped at me. So I ended up running my...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Hoping I can finish a run before the forecast rain. Then more wrecking. I've got a couple of sheets of drywall to pull down and then some more lath and plaster. I'll be putting some more building trash out with my weekly garbage for a few weeks to come now...

    If someone is paying for dinner:

    So much depends on the circumstance. If I'm meeting a friend and we take turns to pay, or they are celebrating, I'll typically choose the same sort of thing I'd normally eat. If a friend is paying to mark an occasion I'll tone down my order a bit if I know they aren't awash with cash - I can...

    Sunburn

    As a child I burned really badly if I wasn't careful. One time when the sunburn started to weep I needed my parents to help me get out of bed because I was stuck to the sheets. These days I burn a lot less, but wear something to protect my head now my hair isn't thick enough to do the job any more.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Running, then wrecking. So far today I've pulled down a wall with a nasty undersized door in it, preserving most of the wood that made up the structure of the frame. The trim around the frame is nasty wood covered with more coats of paint than I can be bothered to strip away for what's unlikely...

    How many points did you get?

    How many can go older than this? For "used a floppy disk" was it 3.5", 5.25", 8"? What about using a cassette for loading and saving computer files? I remember accessing BBS services before the internet was really a thing, with the cover of a rotary phone removed so that the computer modem...

    Gadgets From The 1980s

    Were PDAs worthy of the name around in the 80s? I remember them being popular in the 90s and early 2000s, just trying to remember when things like the Apple Newton came out. I remember the 80s being the season of the fil-o-fax, proudly wielded by people who were less important than they liked to...

    Gadgets From The 1980s

    I find it hard to imagine anyone lived through the 80s without owning at least some cassettes or CDs. I remember having a pager for a short time - it was related to the job I had. I didn't stay long because I got a better job, so the pager went away. I also remember seeing people at...

    USA Public Schools and Religion in the USA

    In theory I'd have thought it wouldn't specifically promote the church itself, as long as the school was equally willing to hand out information for comparable events from mosques, synagogues, temples etc. My guess is that the people who would howl the loudest at a school refusing to hand out...

    French Bulldog Walter

    If a dog makes a noise that sounds like someone is being murdered I wonder why the owner thinks it's a good idea to keep it in an apartment.
