    Oldest piece of Tech you still use?

    That reminded me of the time I took a couple of trees out from my back garden. I cut the branches off with a saw and fed them to a shredder (mains powered, not totally done by hand). Then I cut the stumps until they were about six feet tall, tied a heavy rope in a loop around them both and...

    Needing help...

    I'd second this. It's impossible to come up with a diagnosis online but what Victor is describing here sounds like it's pushing into the kind of thing that could really use professional attention. I'd suggest a counsellor first but seriously suggest professional help.

    Time for bed!

    One pillow as long as it's thick enough. Whatever sheets and blankets are necessary to stay warm or cool enough. In the winter that usually means a sheet and blanket, in the summer just a sheet. I don't go for all sorts of custom pillow, cushions, blankets etc. They seem like the kind of thing...

    What's Happening in Ukraine - Analysis

    I'd read a transcript but have little interest in watching videos of someone speaking. I agree that the US has a weak leader although in fairness the US overall seems like a very weak country right now. It seems there's more interest in renaming schools and fussing over pronouns than in...

    Oldest piece of Tech you still use?

    I have a landline phone. It's a DECT doodad from about 2009. We have an older style phone that plugs into a socket and is corded that we bought in 2012 when we were expecting a major storm. It has only been used a couple of times to make sure it still works, and sits unloved in a dark closet...

    Do you get a yearly physical?

    Usually, although my doctor knows I don't opt for medical intervention unless I believe it to be necessary. I specifically choose my doctor on the basis that they respect and support my preference to not medicate everything in sight.

    Oldest piece of Tech you still use?

    Load of older stuff. My tablet is from 2014. My laptop is from 2012. I have a Bluetooth speaker that's from about 2012-3 (I forget just how old it is). If appliances count as technology I have a chest freezer from 2009 and our fridge, oven and washer/dryer are at least 20 years old. I have no...

    Places that no one likes to go

    Probably more of a concern for ladies. I certainly wouldn't want to sit down in very many public bathrooms.

    Needing help...

    You can do your thing whatever people around you are doing. It's not always easy, but nobody ever said it would be. The best thing you can do here is look at people as individuals rather than as parts of uniform groups. Remember that what you're describing is SOME youth, SOME churchgoing...

    Church Newsletter

    We did have a newsletter. It was distributed by email and in printed form, and also put on the church web site. The person who compiled it served to the end of their term and nobody volunteered to continue, so we haven't had one for a while now. I think people read it as a printed publication...

    A 1972 vehicle vs a 2022 vehicle

    A manual gearstick, or maybe those mirrors right at the very front of the car that you can't adjust without getting out of the car, meaning you have to take a best guess where to set them.

    Mediums and clairvoyance

    Some people turn to that kind of thing looking for comfort. If a loved one dies and someone is uncertain what they believe about whether there's anything beyond death it's easy to see why they might "just want to know that (whoever) is OK". In some ways it doesn't seem all that far removed from...

    Mediums and clairvoyance

    This is the sort of thing where you can't stop someone from going - at the end of the day people are free agents and all we can do is warn them. Sometimes people can be accurate because they do have divination abilities. Sometimes people are well versed in speaking things that are generic...

    Places that no one likes to go

    Anywhere medical. Anywhere that has anything to do with the government. For most people, work.

    You should get rid of

    If you have space to store them you could always put them in a box in the attic or something. If you get rid of them, if they are in even remotely useable condition you could always donate them. Years ago we had a friend who worked at a home for severely disabled children and they would always...

    You still have memorized

    All sorts of things, although they were once useful. At least some of them were :) Hard to differentiate between "memorized" and a general memory though. How would you differentiate the two? Does it count that I still remember the phone number of a girl I dated 36 years ago even though I've...

    Last thing you accidentally broke

    Hard to answer that one, I don't often break things unless I meant to. Discounting things like bent saw blades when cutting cast iron pipes, probably the time I opened the door to a small cupboard in my back breezeway only to find it wasn't properly attached to the wall. I caught the cupboard...

    Amen or Amen?

    The second way. Or the first, depending on which way round you pronounce them.

    Friends

    Because I don't use social media as a primary way to interact with people. I don't regard anything I do on social media as nurturing anything - if I want to spend time with friends I'll hang out with them, call them, text them, or do something for just the two of us even if it is limited. A...

    Friends

    I don't even know who is on my facebook friends list and I don't really care. If I see someone's posts and would rather not I drop them from whatever list they are on. I don't share anything even remotely personal, and everything I do share is public. Hence I don't really care who sees it. I'm...
