    What would it be?

    I guess if you can talk to people on the internet (including video link etc) they don't know if you didn't shower for six months. But I'd rather hang out with people in person, which isn't really an option if I haven't showered in forever. If I can lose showering but still bath then I'd go with...

    Who decides?

    If you repeat a lie often enough people believe it. I think a quote something like that was attributed to Hermann Goebbels. It's certainly curious how many people believe what their preferred talking head on TV says when they obviously haven't really thought about it for themselves.

    Sit down restaurant

    Hard to say, I tend to avoid chains because I prefer to support a local business. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I had a meal in a chain restaurant.

    Modes of Communion

    That's the one. A fiddly film lid to reveal the bread, then another fiddly film lid to reveal the juice. I was more concerned with how much of the juice would end up on the floor because of older people struggling to open them than I was about the noise of them being opened. I guess film is...

    Comfortable piece of clothing

    I have a bunch of shorts and T-shirts, mostly promotional T-shirts, that I wear all the time. Promotional T-shirts are great because if I wear them running, hiking, working, burning, whatever, it doesn't matter. If one of them gets too badly damaged to be wearable any more I retire it and move...

    Christmas music

    In stores and shopping malls I'd prefer never as an option. I hate canned Christmas music. I guess enough people like Christmas music that they keep shopping but I've been to enough places that have the same very few songs played on an endless loop that I just won't tolerate it. Assault my ears...

    Modes of Communion

    Curious. I don't think the ones we had made any discernible noise, they were just intensely fiddly. Far too fiddly for the more elderly members of our church to like them. I'm used to working with small components and I didn't like them. At least they did actually open as indicated, unlike so...

    Modes of Communion

    Sure, back when people were afraid of their own shadows we replaced our regular communion (we file forward, take a piece of bread and an individual cup, eat and drink, then return to our seats) with individual all-in-one packages. It had a double-sealed lid where you peeled back the first lid to...

    Modes of Communion

    Interesting, I didn't know that. I guessed some places must do it for it to be listed as an option :) Maybe Anglican churches do things differently in different countries. The church where my wife and I got married was an Anglican church and I never saw that method before. When they did...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I went for a moderately gentle run in the end. About half a mile from where I drop to a walk to cool down I still had plenty of energy left so broke into a much faster run. Much like the other day I took about two minutes per mile off the pace, although only for a bit over a quarter mile.

    Modes of Communion

    I find option 4 curious. It's different from the other in the concept that the bread may be dipped in the wine rather than the bread and wine being consumed separately. I don't know that I'd consider it doctrinally wrong, it just feels a bit odd to me. I'm not even entirely sure why. As far as...

    Chat Am I the only one, or does anyone else wish that Walmart would go back to 24 miles per hour?

    I can't help thinking the world was a better place when you couldn't endlessly pop out to buy some random item at a stupid hour of the morning. It's great in theory being able to do that but we coped as a society for decades without it and few people want to work the overnight shift (not to...

    Buying a laptop

    A lot would depend on your budget. Personally I would never buy a Dell computer because I've had so many problems with their insistence on making everything non-standard, insisting you enter their product code into their system to get a recovery disk because a standard Windows installation disk...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I hate walking indoors as well, it's so tedious. At least with music playing I can kinda sorta zone out and just keep pacing until it's done. Debating whether to go for a walk or a gentle run today. I won't push anything hard because I did that yesterday. I'm leaning towards a gentle run.

    Queen Elizabeth dies

    Yep, it's just a question of how many it would take to actually abolish the monarchy and whether the republican groups have any realistic chance of gathering that much support. Since public opinion seems less hostile to the concept of Queen Camilla (even if technically Queen Consort Camilla)...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday the weather was dismal so I didn't get out to run. Today the forecast was for clouds during the morning and heavy rain during the afternoon so I went for a morning run. Towards the end of the first mile my pulse was much higher than normal, which concerned me at first until I checked...

    Queen Elizabeth dies

    I think after Diana's death in 1997 the Queen did make the changes so that the monarchy continued to be relevant to the people. By 2002 the crowds in the Mall for the Golden Jubilee spoke far louder than any words could that there were still an awful lot of people who favored her. It would be...

    A Home Phone/ Landline

    Most of the calls we get on our landline are political canvassers wanting to speak to the previous occupant. In fairness it is only 14 years since she left. I still keep it because it gets better reception than the cellphone and because enough people know it as a primary contact number it's...

    Queen Elizabeth dies

    Louis XIV? I thought it was XIII but couldn't remember if it was XIII or XIV. Thanks for the correction. Elizabeth II reigned for 70 of her 96 years. It's curious to think what proportion of the nation's population was even alive at the last coronation. After Victoria there were a few monarchs...
