    Self-Righteous Celebrities?

    I can't help thinking that if the only reason people donate a few bucks is because someone with millions of dollars tells them they should then the charity doesn't really have a whole lot to work with. It feels like the guy who owns the chocolate factory telling me I should share my last bar of...

    Self-Righteous Celebrities?

    Hard to argue with Brian. Even in my younger years I was always aware of the big fund raising events on TV where some celebrity or another would be giving their time at no charge to endlessly pressure the viewers to send a few bucks to support the cause. You know, the celebrity who could...

    How do you differentiate

    It can be hard to strike a balance. The thing I've often found is that the people with the greatest need are the least vocal about it, which makes it particularly hard to identify needs. In an age where we can connect with people across the globe, even to the point that we connect less with...

    Filtering Web Search Results

    Even so, it's an improvement on what search engines were like around the turn of the millennium where it seemed whatever search term you typed the first dozen pages or so were endless porn sites. From what I recall what the porn sites were doing was putting the entire dictionary into their page...

    School lunch food

    Up to about age 11 school lunches were slop. Most days I'd rather eat nothing than the garbage put in front of us. From 11 we had a cafeteria system so lunches were mostly sausages, fish fingers, burgers, fries etc. Not particularly healthy but at least they were edible.

    The most lost

    I lost a hiking trail in the woods and really wasn't sure how best to salvage the situation given the presence of waist-high brush and lots of very wet, ankle deep mud underfoot. It turned out the trail simply isn't marked on the ground at all, so I ended up having to maintain as constant a...

    USA Fair Tax Act 2023

    As long as there were exemptions on essential items (food, clothing, heating oil etc) it would be less of a giveaway. That would also be consistent with other countries' implementations of VAT in various forms. Of course there's disagreement about what counts as "essential" - I believe in the UK...

    What happens

    I assume you can leave your estate to whoever you choose - you don't have to leave it to family even if you have surviving family. A guy my wife and I loosely knew many years ago died with no family and left a substantial estate (I don't know exactly but believe it ran to several million...

    Transgender birthday cake

    Because it's apparently very important to pick the highest profile baker in the state to have another go at branding them a bigot on another high profile stage. Let's face it, there are no other bakers anywhere in the state of Colorado so the poor transgender people have no choice but to try...

    Pope Francis & homosexuality

    It seems to be a topic that generates far more heat than light. There's nothing wrong with being tempted. Jesus was recorded as being tempted. Having homosexual desires is no more sinful than a married man having desires for another woman, or being tempted to steal the cash from your employer's...

    USA Renters Bill of Rights

    The trouble, like with so much else, is that the government tinkers with stuff and then complains about the results, only to then try and avoid the inevitable results of their own actions. When interest rates are very low the price of property rises. When property is expensive rent is...

    Netflix's password sharing

    No, I went for the one concurrent user option so there's nothing spare to be shared.

    Food Labels

    Usually artificial sweeteners. As Strav said they are common in sugar-free products but depressingly common in regularly sweetened products as well. Why flavored Doritos need to have sweeteners in them is beyond me, but I've found that they often do. Beyond that it's usually just about...

    USA Fair Tax Act 2023

    The current system is a disaster. It seems every which way you turn you're getting taxed and taxed and taxed again. Then comes the disaster that is the Unaffordable Care Act that simply piles on more taxes, striking people with low incomes and poor health particularly hard. From what I can see...

    Removing animal fur from clothes

    My wife has a tape roller that she uses when needed. You'd have thought the thing in the house with the most cat hair on it would be the cat, but apparently cat hair sticks to everything except the cat.

    Dreading going to work

    If it's a hard week ahead, suck it up and get on with it. If you don't like it don't cash your paycheck. If it's something you dread every week it's time to find another job.

    Your best travel tip

    Take some time to plan the travel and make sure the travel, particularly the travel home, doesn't end a relaxing week with a pile of needless stress. It's remarkable how fast a week's worth of unwinding can be undone if you hit the traffic around a major city at 5pm on a Friday and still have...

    Good or Bad Valentine Gifts

    Flowers are a really bad gift to someone with severe allergies. Some of them are very poisonous to household pets. The idea that a gift is universally good isn't really very helpful.

    How much hourly for a handyman?

    Don't know about a general handyman but the contractor I use for electrical and plumbing stuff I can't do (or don't want to do) myself charged me about $100 for some work on my toilet. The job was to drain and remove it, remove and replace the wax seal at the bottom of it, and reconnect...

    Egg prices

    The sad thing is that unless they are buying a huge number they'll probably spend more on gas than they save on cheaper eggs.
