I wrote two novels in the past 10 years during downtime at work. If the work to be done gets done, it shouldn’t be a problem.

- Comment on I am at a loss on words 2 weeks ago:
Position meaning ‘the way in which something is placed or arranged’. I’m aware it’s a different door, but the position / tilt / angle / pose / arrangement of the door is the same, being . Taking \ to indicate standing, it can’t indicate lying down.

It’s a different door but it’s the same position. This doesn’t work. If \ indicates a person standing it can’t indicate a person lying down, whichever door it is.

America is such a shitshow.
- Comment on Hate crimes 2 weeks ago:
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

Where is ‘abroad’? Many countries will speak English pretty well, so you may not need it depending on where you are. Any vocab book for that country will give you the basics if English isn’t commonly spoken
- Comment on I am at a loss on words 3 weeks ago:
You don’t want to. It’s an abstract reference to an uninteresting meme about miscarriage. People post things with the format of the position of the people in the meme in 4 frames, and everyone congratulates themselves and each other for getting the reference.

- Comment on This letter from "Friends of Zion" my grandmother received today 3 weeks ago:
My great uncle moved to Rhodesia in the 70s with his family. Northern Ireland in the 70s had some dangerous groups and people. Someone in the family was threatened and they had to go. The mainland UK wasn’t far enough, so they chose Rhodesia as his son was offered a job in South Africa.
He worked for a charity (I don’t know which one) and was a piano tuner and handyman. He could fix anything.
Some people went there through circumstance and seeing a better life.
He also supported the anti apartheid movement from day 1. And he was happy when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. He wasn’t a great fan of the English pillaging and ruining the world through history, despite where he had ended up.
About 15 years ago his bank accounts were emptied by the government (he had worked hard his whole life and had several hundred thousand pounds) and his house and land (nothing grand, small house on less than half an acre) were taken by Mugabe and his cronies.
He moved home and lives in the village where he grew up. Turned 93 last week.
Happy birthday, John!
