I get that. In my city there are at least 2 makerspaces and 1 communal workshop where you can use all their tools at any time, for a monthly membership fee. I would totally use that option if I didn't have my own house. Not sure how common that is around the world though.

Sounds awesome (except the stealing part)!

My local government is pushing for people to bike more instead of driving, but if you have a decent-looking bike it will be stolen. Bike theft is so bad that there is a satirical movement to oppose biking until the bike theft situation has been dealt with.

What are you doing, step-grandmom?

Woodworking! Yes, you can obviously spend lots of money on equipment, but you'd be surprised by how nice furniture you can build with just a track saw and a trim router.

A little bit of shit is good for your immune system. I'm microdosing on feces to stay strong and healthy.

...and not checking if you need to use the brush? I would be divorced in a heartbeat. Or do you advise closing, flushing, and opening again to check if you have tainted the bottom of the toilet bowl?

I frequently dream about having an upcoming quantum physics exam which I have not studied for. It's 12 years since I handed in my master's thesis and got my engineering degree.

Am I normal?

I sign papers with customers from all over the world, and if I get to sign first and need to add a date, I invariably go for YYYY-MM-DD from ISO-8601. If they go first it's most often illegible to readers without any cultural context.

Me agrees.

Yeah, in those cases I sometimes just put "she" instead. If they are the type of person to get upset by that (presumably because it's a he that doesn't want to be mistaken for a she), it's precisely the person I want to offend. Reasonable people don't care.

This holds true for many professions. "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber comes to mind.

Never go back to front.

Yeah, let's call it a self defence cable instead. Like a corded taser.

Nah, industrial communication protocols in the IT industry uses lots of master/slave terminology. E.g. Modbus and Profibus DP comes to mind.

That's really clever, I'm stealing that.

When a toddler is finally all dressed up and ready to go, they invariably suddenly need a diaper change. Is it the same with your wife?

That cheese sounds interesting, where would I find it?

Ted sounds like quite the importer/exporter. I feel like he should focus more on the imports than the exports. E.g. latex, diapers, chips and long matches.

Makes sense. Wanting to sleep is basically choosing unconsciousness over consciousness. Even when tired I'd rather be conscious.

The majority of users are either a communist or almost a communist.

I was 97% communist at the last measurement. I think I will get the final 3% any day now, God willing.
