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

    This thread went quiet... I've been building a temporary floor over a stairwell. I need to work on the walls and ceiling, and figured having a solid floor was a good way to start. So now I've got some beams fastened in place with some more lumber across them as a floor surface. Each individual...

    For free!

    I've seen some reasonably nice looking furniture put out for free. I didn't need the furniture but considered taking it for the wood. I decided against it because it seemed a shame to break something up only to find it was veneered chipboard, if someone else could use the furniture. If I'd...

    Your wedding date

    I honestly don't remember. I think we just picked a date and went with it, I don't recall choosing the specific date for any particular reason.

    Before winter hits

    Finish getting some ceiling insulation put into place. There's a small patch of ceiling that has nothing except floorboards between the heated indoors and the unheated attic. Thankfully it's on the side of the house we're not using but it is getting colder than usual over there. I want to pull...

    How do you tell your loved one you're sorry?

    I've found the phrase "I'm sorry" to be particularly useful at times like that....

    No money

    I managed to run my bank account down to a single penny at one point, the day before I was paid. That said I was living with parents so didn't have to pay rent or utilities.

    In your opinion,

    It wasn't that long ago that claiming to be deeply offended by every little thing would result in an admonition to not be silly. Now a claim to be deeply offended by something trivial is met by a no-holds-barred insistence that the thing must be removed. I can only imagine the response even 20...

    Earth just hit 8 billion people,

    I don't know many people would trust any scientist who did. After all, if there are too many people who gets to decide which ones are allowed to reproduce and which ones are not? Who decides which people are exterminated to bring populations under whatever level someone says is appropriate...

    What now for Republicans?

    Sure, my post wasn't to say that the Republicans offered nothing, but I wasn't seeing anything relating to inflation specifically. To untie the hands of the police while hiring more police to fight crime makes sense, but doesn't bring the price at the pump down. It doesn't make the weekly...

    Racism

    The trouble with all of this is that it divides things along racial lines. What about the white boy growing up in a trailer park with no father and a mother who sells herself to whoever's paying in order to pay the rent? I'm sure he'd love to enjoy some of that "white privilege" he keeps hearing...

    What now for Republicans?

    The simple reality is that it's not as simple as "it was Biden" or "it was COVID" or "it's global supply chains". For starters, the pandemic didn't cause anywhere near as many economic issues as the government response to the pandemic. Shutting down everything in sight was done by the...

    Racism

    While I don't dispute there's some truth to this it's also a massive oversimplification. I remember some years ago reading about how young black men couldn't succeed because they lacked positive role models. That morning I saw a black man wearing a very expensive suit driving a very expensive...

    Large retail store

    I seldom shed many tears when a huge retail store closes, because it's usually on the basis they failed to meet the needs of their customers.

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    It's a shame they didn't post the video so people could see what they were describing. From what I can tell of the description it could be something sinister but could also be something utterly unremarkable.

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    Thanks, I can read the article and get an idea of what they are saying now.

    Cannabis

    There may be. There are innocent non-users who are hurt by those who obtain legal drugs as it is. We accept those risks. We prohibit the things that cause danger to others as things stand. Hence you're not allowed to drink and drive. We accept that there are risks associated with people...

    Cannabis

    There's quite a difference between the choice to use a product myself and spiking what someone else is consuming with it. I'm not sure what connection you're trying to make with regard to speeding. If I'm speeding on an empty road I'm only risking my life. If I'm speeding on a busy road I'm...

    Cuckoo Clock

    It also helps if the movement isn't gummed up :) You're right though, they can be very temperamental if they aren't quite level. Some of them are more forgiving than others - the one we had would work if it was more or less level. Over time it stopped working - it turned out one of the pivot...

    Cannabis

    I don't honestly think it's any of the goverment's business what substances I choose to consume. By all means restrict combinations of activities - we have rules against drinking and driving even though both are legal in isolation - but I don't see why any drug should be illegal.
