  I consider the ideal distance for friends and family to be 1hr walk/5-10 min drive.

  Except for my youngest sister. For her, an Emirates gold flyer program.

  I didn’t say I don’t have scouring pads, just that the main tool is the brush.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using a dish brush as much as possible now. If you must use scouring pads, use 3M scotch brand. They last way longer than other brands, so less waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also brush as much as possible. When replacement time comes, I will get bamboo brushes.

  Nice life pro tip! Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart option⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I lived with my ex-wife, I always ordered more or larger, and when at home, Id make more of whatever. Always. First couple of years i simply got annoyed, then I realized I couldn’t fight it, so samity prevailed.

  Sure. I simply point out that developing above ground rails much cheaper. I’m not criticizing. I’m all for nay kind of public transport, and electric car and moto sharing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean that that is all the public transport in Toronto, combined?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of misleading. That’s metro+light rail. Above ground light rail is massively cheaper to build than subways.

  If you get the pay wall, the Rticle is kind enough to let you know about removepaywall.com

  I’m downsizing and have a lot of stuff in marketplaces. I generally price at about 50%, plus 10-15% for haggling. I won’t go lower. When someone lowballs, I don’t waste a minute replying.

  The ideal is a mix, planes for the long haul, trains for short haul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name? ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and try that PLUS bipolar. You actually do the things, but fail miserably after a while because you mind is like a pinball; uuuuuuup the channel like a rocket, and then spend time bouncing really quick randomly, and then plonk, down the pocket

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A completely useful compulsion I have.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense

  Yeah! Did yours sprinkle the shavings on top of your cereal like mine did, too?

  As a Spaniard I was going to comment that it is kind of overpriced dog food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump White House Cited My Research to Justify Tariffs. They Got It All Wrong.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all for tariffs, but… Reduce by a 1/4? That is also idiotic. General tariffs are bullshit. Tariffs can and should be used, but in a surgical way. Full blast globalism allows nations like China to dump with the objective of killing other countries sectors. Also, they should be decided by political consensus, in a long term strategy, and supplemented with incentives, to allow local reindustrialization to happen.

  I’m a SCUBA diver, and have seen and interacted ( and fished. Not anymore.) with cuttle fish and octopuses many, many times. Their ability to change colors, and even shape, is fascinationg. It’s widely accepted that among other functions, these abilities include communicating
