You don’t have anything better to do, right? I'm already working on some Robin Hood ballad translations. Yes, fucking really.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Informal Poll - Did you watch the Queen’s funeral?: Since people have been talking about little else for quite some time, at least at some point, I'd guess the viewing figures were pretty high. I bet Trump is pissed. He might fake his own death just to get back some attention. (I know, I know - living rent free in my head!) Sure you're not paying him rent? How else could Trump appear in a QE funeral thread?

    This flight crew applied for and got 8 weeks of mental health leave. The copilot's full recovery is in doubt. And that's the truth.

    Yes that’s one I’ve heard many times but not in such a verbose manner. My favorite is the one where the young lady picked up in a bar says to her partner after some quick hotel sex, “you must be an anesthesiologist” “Why?” “I didn’t feel a thing”

    @George-K What works well for my hands is to play the upper line with 5-4-3-2 and the lower line with 2-1-1-1. If you have tiny Trump hands, that might be difficult, though. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlG5bCaP5olHL5kiOBpEmqKbJBGokXnr/view?usp=sharing

    Styling is bad, but that's a pretty good engine/transmission combination. GM still uses the U-body frame in China

    @LuFins-Dad said in Kind of a sad day: On the plus side, I’m stocked on firewood for next year and the Christmas lights just got A LOT easier. I don't know, but I think maple would be tough to split. Stack and tarp it after splitting. You can burn green wood in an open fireplace. Best to mix it with a little bit of dry. It'll be better next year, though. How much did it cut out?

    I've got a two note range. My wife's family sings harmony just as easy as breathing. But there's a couple of reasons for that: A. They're a musical family. When you grow up with, it's easier. B. Church. Used to, local churches had singing schools. The Free Methodist church closest to my wife's home was noted many years ago for not allowing families to sit with each other. You were seated with sopranos, altos, baritones or basses, depending on what you sing. Shape notes, mostly out of Heavenly Highways. It's a shame, but most of those folks have died out and the young people aren't as interested.

    @Klaus said in Thou shalt not show smokes: @Doctor-Phibes said in Thou shalt not show smokes: @Klaus said in Thou shalt not show smokes: That's the definition of adult, in my opinion: To be able to evaluate and bear the consequences of your actions, be it positive or negative. So how do you test whether somebody is an adult or not? Because most places just look at your age, and we all know that being 18 doesn't make you an adult. We've decided that there's a point, usually 18 years old, when adulthood begins. That's of course a somewhat arbitrary number, but you I see no alternative that is significantly better and still practical. If people are no adults when they turn 18, bad luck for them. I have no use for 25 year old children. They are a disgrace. Yeah, that's how I used to think when my kids were younger, too.

    My solution to this problem was to only go out really early at weekends, and plan out my rides, as Aqua said. Getting stuck on a really busy road is miserable. Lockdown was great as the roads were so quiet, but now everybody's back driving the whole time, God knows where.
