    Decals & Bumper Stickers

    No, partly because of the issues you describe here and partly because I figure it's harder to sell a vehicle if it's adorned with stickers that the new owner dislikes. I wouldn't want to deal with removing a load of stickers from a car, especially since the paint underneath them is likely to be...

    Thermometer

    I have a few that sit around the house. Most of them are simple digital thermometer/hygrometer doodads. I use them in areas I'm working where the heat is turned off, to make sure it doesn't get too cold. If it does I wheel in an electric space heater. The thermostat for the heating also shows...

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

    The project certainly seems to go on and on :) Today I pulled down the last couple of laths, filled a few gaps in the wall I'd found (a couple went right through to outside, and were letting in very nasty drafts), and got a bunch of cellulose poured down between the wall studs. The cellulose...

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

    I got the first section of coving taken down. I had to cut the top of it because the ceiling tiles covered the top, but the cut will be hidden once the corner trim is put back on. So now I've got a nice big gap in the coving at the top of the cupboards, I pulled down some more lath and plaster...

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

    I'm debating whether to remove the coving carefully enough to put it back or just pull it down and plan to replace it. It's covered in an elderly wallpaper that is unique within the room so it's not like I need anything to match - I can put fresh coving up and paint it and it will look nicer...

    Taking care of our elders

    Why do illegal immigrants get healthcare when citizens and lawful residents of any age have to pay for it? The elderly aren't special in that regard. Why do illegal immigrants get housing while veterans sleep rough? That's maybe a more pressing question.

    Gay Nutcracker and Black Disabled Santa

    I'm not sure why anyone cares what color skin a fictitious character is given. Disabled Santa seems odd, if the tradition is that Santa comes down the chimney it's hard to see how he could do that in a wheelchair.

    Downsizing your housing

    Downsizing is great if you can find somewhere suitable. My wife and I considered downsizing but found that for some reason moving to a smaller house would mean putting in extra cash as well as seeing taxes go up. I'm not sure how that works, but it means any money we'd save by not having such a...

    Online shopping

    I seldom buy online if I can avoid it. Courier services in this area are usually OK but sometimes do stupid stuff like leaving parcels right beside the door with the sign saying it's not in use, in full view of the street when they could have tucked it somewhere less visible. Usually I like to...

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

    Today's job is to figure out how to remove some coving in the kitchen so I can insulate the walls. The crucial part is removing the coving such that I can put it back again when I'm done, so we don't have ugly gashes in the wall in the kitchen. But first my wife is cooking something, so I don't...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My watch suggested another threshold level workout, but this time the interval I was suggested to run at threshold pace was long enough to cover a little over 5k. I'd been thinking about making an attack on my 5k personal best for a while now, so thought I'd do that. I hadn't got very far into...

    Deepfakes

    To produce deepfake video you'd probably need more than a single image or two. I remember back in the 90s every once in a while there would be pictures floating about the internet that claimed to be famous people wearing less than might be expected, and most of them were very bad Photoshop...

    Old age lifestyle

    My wife's aunt lived out her days in an old peoples' home. She started out in the section where you live more or less independently but things like lawn care and snow removal were done centrally, and there were a few protective rules against door-to-door soliciting and the like. Then as her...

    Adopted children

    They can find out a certain amount but not necessarily the location of their parents. DNA testing for the masses seems like it has the potential to wreak all sorts of havoc.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I did a gentle run today and figured that since the forecast indicates it could be cold tomorrow and wet on Sunday I might as well just extend my run a bit and pick off the badge for doing a 10k. Nothing hard today, I kept my pulse down quite well and just focussed on covering the ground...

    Don’t nuke plastics

    It could come in handy if you ever need to fashion a makeshift bomb out of whatever Steven Seagal used in Under Siege. Assuming you have whatever he used on hand, and a means of unexpectedly supplying power to the microwave, of course.

    Adopted children

    It's sad but if parents are given the right to say they want nothing to do with their biological offspring it saves the children from conducting a long search only for it to end with a door shut in their face. Whether that door is literal or metaphorical, if they knew in advance that the parents...

    Old age lifestyle

    It's always hard to know what will trigger the decision that a home is no longer suitable. Steps are an obvious potential problem although a house with a large enough downstairs can be used as an effective ranch even if an upstairs exists. If you have living space, sleeping space, cooking space...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My tracker suggested a threshold level workout twice this week and both times I wasn't able to do it. Today it suggested a threshold level workout harder than I've seen it suggest before, so I figured I'd go for it before eating a heavy meal. And I actually managed to go somewhat harder than it...

    Censorship

    Consequences can take all sorts of forms. On another Christian forum the automatic censor is so strict it censors the Bible. If you look through the Old Testament there are all sorts of names that include an arguably naughty word tucked away inside them. Gilgashites, Elkoshites etc, all contain...
