    The worst feeling

    Hard to say but I suspect being lowered feet first into an industrial grinder is pretty high on the list.

    Simple kitchen tips

    That's interesting - I've always tended to find the opposite is true. I'd rather do all the cleaning at once rather than keep stopping to clean stuff. If I start to run out of space then I'll stop and clean everything I need in a single hit. If "cleaning" simply means putting stuff in the...

    Child rape cases

    The trouble with any arbitrarily defined line is when it creates vastly different treatments for people who are only very marginally different, but straddle the arbitrarily defined line. Well, yes, that's why I said the bit about child molesters not having a whole lot of fun in prison. From...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday's suggested workout was "rest" so I went for a walk with my wife instead of running. Today's suggestion was "tempo" and it was a long enough time to need my 8-mile loop to fit it in, so I did that one again. If it's not sweltering hot I enjoy that loop - I'm not sure why I got out of...

    An emergency fund

    I always keep something in hand for unexpected scenarios. The farce that was COVID also indicated that we need to be more prepared than having some cash on hand - when the toilet paper disappeared it didn't help to have a bit of cash on hand.

    PVC pipes

    Mostly copper. A small amount of PEX. Some of the heating is old cast iron stuff.

    Your definition of "too loud"

    It depends on the context and what the noise is. I have a very low tolerance for things like screaming children in nice restaurants. I have a much higher tolerance for distorted guitars at a heavy metal concert.

    Our interaction with AI seems to debunk Biblical ideas

    It's not hard to see how anger, over an extended period, can turn into other things. Since you mentioned Paul's comment about his thorn, he also wrote that he received an answer even if it wasn't the answer he wanted. I wonder what Paul might have thought had he not received any answer at all...

    A new chapter in life

    It depends why you're starting a new chapter. If it's something you chose, the uncertainty of whether making the changes are the best way forward and wondering if you can get back to where you were before if the new chapter doesn't work out. If it was something forced on you (redundancy...

    Presumably Paul wasn't deemed out of line for asking to have the thorn removed though, right?

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    For some considerable time now I've routinely run the entirety of all of my loops. The only time I've stopped is if there's traffic at a road crossing, or the occasional time I stop briefly at our church for a comfort break. A week or so back we had a really hot day, and today was really hot...

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

    I definitely need to remove at least one column of old bricks. I need to move the doorframe a few inches, and I think for that to happen I need to take out some bricks. I might be able to take out a few half-bricks, I'll need to measure stuff and see how it all looks. I'll also need to move one...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Well, so much for my longer run. I noticed a fatal flaw in my original plan for the room I'm working on and spent some time thinking about how to salvage things. It's doable, just takes a little more work than I hoped to have before I could box in the room and consider it ready for drywalling...

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

    I got some more of my walls framed yesterday. I thought I could build an entire section of wall but then realised I need to measure where the end of it is going to be more precisely. I need a stud at the very end of the wall, with other studs suitably spaced from there to the other end. If...

    Claim your cut

    Probably not. If Facebook has over a billion users that sum that looks huge as a headline figure works out to less than $1 each and that's before the lawyers take their cut. Even if it's restricted to users in the US the chances are it's going to turn into a huge payday for lawyers and a fistful...

    Beer brewed 86 years ago

    If it's been stored properly it might still be good. I'd certainly be up for trying it, although I'm not sure I'd be quite so willing to pay for it.

    The dead malls

    Seriously, I'm struggling to see how this even makes sense. A good use for a mall that is totally unrealistic isn't really a very good use, is it? Otherwise we could all come up with all sorts of grand ideas ideas that would be lots of fun if it weren't for tedious realities like, you know...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout for today is "recovery" - little over half an hour at a 12-minute pace. I hate those suggestions - I struggle to run as slowly as a 12-minute pace. I'm trying to teach myself to run slowly but so far haven't managed to sustain anything lower than about a 10-minute pace. I...

    Are you creative when you cook?

    I like to customise things but my wife does most of the cooking. When I'm in the kitchen, think of the burnt offerings from Leviticus.

    Our interaction with AI seems to debunk Biblical ideas

    I might be misunderstanding the intention but I think that's exactly what Lucian is doing. Perhaps his choice of wording isn't always what we might have chosen but I'd rather see someone who is posting based on what they are thinking than someone who is trying to sound ever-so-holy while...
