    Cuckoo Clock

    I have one that belonged to my in-laws. It needs some work to get it going again, it's just a royal pain in the rear to disassemble the bellows mechanisms so I can get at the movement inside, and even more of a pain in the rear to reassemble it so the bird pops out and the bellows operate...

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    As an aside, it's a shame the video producers couldn't be bothered to print the text sufficiently clearly to easily read it, or indeed to just post a transcript since at least the first minute or two seems to be nothing more than someone reading the blurry text on the screen.

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    I'm not up to date on nanotechnology but still don't find it entirely credible that such a device could be produced, let alone produced in such a way that each person gets one and only one such tracker and that it continues to function reliably over an extended period. When the first rumblings...

    Gift cards

    Cash can also be combined. My recurring memories of gift cards from my teenage years was that one person would give me a $5 gift card to one store, another would give me a $5 gift card to another store, and the result was that I still couldn't get the $10 item I wanted, that I could have bought...

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    Yes, but you still need to make something that is small enough to fit through a hypodermic needle and still powerful enough to power itself, identify itself and broadcast itself over Bluetooth. If you assume your theory about being chipped is true then the unknown address might be him. I've...

    USA: Thanksgiving Meal

    I'll stick with my tradition and bump the sweet potatoes.... off my plate and into the trash where they belong :)

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    There's really no point. As I said before it's clear that we're not going to make any progress in the thread. I'm not the one who is unhappy so if you don't like what I have to say I don't feel inclined to keep saying it. Good luck with whatever you decide, if you decide to change anything.

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    I don't think anybody is trying to say your reality is wrong. You asked what people thought, people told you what they thought, and you decided to post another opinion and then defend it as if it were eternal truth. Try this instead: Person A: Why am I unhappy? Person B: Try doing something...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    About all you've done so far is mark "disagree" on posts that express a different viewpoint. People are trying to give you some pointers but all you seem to do is say how much you disagree. As I said before, if you want to keep doing what you've always done it's your life and you can live it as...

    High School

    I was a pretty good student, getting mostly As (except in the subjects that bored me, although I still got As in some of those). Which was probably just as well, because some of the stunts we got up to back in the day would probably get us branded terrorists these days.

    Horror of Horrors! You may already be chipped!

    Back when people were first talking about tracking chips in the vaccine I wondered whether it was technically possible. The biggest question I'd have is how such a device would be powered, given it needs enough power to transmit a radio signal. I'm not sure how, or even whether, you could build...

    Chat iPhone vs Android

    I use Android, simply because I'm not interested in locking in to Apple's ecosystem. I'm not a big user of phone apps anyway so that side of things makes little difference.

    Gift cards

    The only reason I buy gift cards is if there's some kind of bonus involved. My favorite brewpub often does a special where you can buy a gift card and get a bonus gift card. If I can buy a $100 gift card and get a $20 bonus then there's a reason for me to do it. Otherwise it just turns money I...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    Or maybe it's because the honeymoon period has worn off and you've come to realise that you're still the same person you always were, that your partner hasn't fixed you (because they can never do that), and you're thinking that maybe you need to be with someone else who can fix you. Rinse and...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    To follow on from the first paragraph here I'd raise the question of what value you (generic you, not ValleyGal specifically!) have in and of yourself. What do you bring to a relationship? Why would someone want to enter into a relationship with you? Whatever the nature of the relationship -...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    From my personal experience it's absolutely true, which is why I wrote it. If you don't fundamentally like yourself, how can you expect anyone else to like you? It's kind of like a salesman who is trying to sell something that he wouldn't buy himself, except your sense of identity and...

    USA Dump Trump

    I guess what makes it hard to know is that it's easy to imagine that a Trump endorsement would get some people motivated to get out and vote but could also get others motivated to get out and vote for the other guy. I think the thing with Pennsylvania is that in many ways it's much like the...

    USA Dump Trump

    The numbers you presented certainly look impressive at first sight. My question (which I know can't be answered objectively because such things are hard to measure) was more about how many of them would have done very well with or without any particular endorsement. If you've got a deep red area...

    Would it help or hurt

    I think it should go further - I think that a voter should select a candidate and then have to select a few of that candidate's major political stances. If the voter gets that wrong their vote doesn't count. The idea is to make sure people actually know what they are supporting rather than...
