  1. Yes but like what Donald said to the media (lying media) my post is immaterial to everyone except butthurt liberals. I've already moved on with my life and don't have any recollection of it nor any desire to go back and analyse it. Or anyone else's, for that matter. Or any need to remember which side of the issue anyone is on. It simply doesn't matter to me, because the political world is moving in a direction of which I approve.
  2. Not that I'm one to talk, having only done three trees so far - but - make yourself a strong telescopic pole with a hook on the end. 3 foot to 6 foot painters pole would be ideal.
  3. Good grief, I feel like Jeff Sessions facing the Dems at his Senate hearing....I don't even remember my post, seems it left an impression though. I get the feeling that you sense conspiracy going on behind the scenes? Or maybe that's just me, projecting. What on earth does it matter who my intellectual collaborators are? They could be a think-tank of sociology PhDs, or they could be the cats.
  4. I was most likely using the "royal" we.
  5. To be perfectly frank, Eggs, I don't have the attention span to keep a running mental spreadsheet of who said what and which side so-and-so is on. There's probably an app for it, but I can't be bothered. I just read the posts, take a glancing look at the poster, and move on or reply to the content if it interests me. I don't keep score on internet forums, just couldn't be bothered. Maybe that's not the way to to do it, I don't know, never did a course on web forums, just kinda feel my way through.
  6. A family friend who's a brain surgeon says he almost never sees a patient on the operating table who was waring a bicycle crash helmet. 95% of bicycle related casualties were not waring a helmet, he says. So important. Ware my stein, minus the visor and muffs, for everything now, even going up a step ladder.
  7. Just following my thought a bit further - rather than saying people's egos are invested in their position on immigration, lets rephrase it and say that their sense of identity and self-image is tied to their politics, and the rawest form of politics, the immigration issue, cuts to the quick. Some folks (not necesarrily all) may hold liberal views on immigration in order to make themselves feel good. They may fear that they have racist tendancies lying dormant, and if they admit to themselves and others that they don't like the Islamic culture and are actually none too crazy about refugees, it would be letting the genie out of the bottle and they might discover things about their own personalities that they don't want to. Or they know what lurks beneath, and consciously keep a tight lid on it by reinforcing the defence of immigrants. It could be like a guilt thing. Psychology is complex. Maybe that's why the hate for outspoken trolls like Milo et al - its not the views of the right that frighten them, its the feeling that they might actually be racists themselves. (Stubbes out cigar) - "That'll be £200 thank you, see you next week at the same time...."
  8. Names have already been filed with the WCRFD (world central racist fascist database). Of course I'm not going to name the butthurt, why add insult to injury? I mean people generally, on here, at home, in our communities and in the public eye - there's a general trend of private awareness and public denial. That's what I suspect to be the case anyway, coming from my own experience of once being a true believing hippie to gradually being a closet Deplorable surrounded by militant hippies. And recently noticing that some of my most staunchly tie-dye acquaintances have changed sides.
  9. I'd be interested to know if anyone has tried climbing in Vibram 5-Fingers.
  10. I get the feeling most people actually do smell the coffee at this point, but they've committed a certain amount of ego into their political position and its hard to shift now, without losing face.
  11. why not run a flood light on a pole off the battery from your grinder?
  12. How many of you guys use RADs I wonder? - where you're hanging from a gri-gri with a hand ascender and pulley combo up ahead. When tie-in point is reached, the ascender can be left there, and you can then limb walk on something very much like a DDRT system with the gri-gri replacing the zigzag?
  13. Just throw this in the circle... [ame] [/ame]
  14. Couldn't you pound lengths of rebar through the bag wall to "pin" the bags together before the mix cures?
  15. When he admits to kicking cats...until then, total support. From me, at any rate.
  16. Get a mulcher blade for your brush cutter and never look back!
  17. Why does the stone in your boot always materialise just after you lace it to perfection and tie a double knot? Also, how can the thorn in your sock be so painful, yet cannot be felt with fingers or found by sight?
  18. While we're on the subject of after shave lotion, I'll post a wee advertisement I made for my favourite brand, Weleda Aftershave Balm. [ame] [/ame]
  19. Why does it always hang to the left? Or is it just me?
  20. Steve, those mushrooms (toadstools?) of yours are so incredibly white, I'm fair triggered every time I see them. Of all the fungi in the forest couldn't you have picked a specimen representing a little more diversity? What's wrong with brown or tawny? Just larking, don't take me seriously. If Clinton had won I'd still be in a catatonic fetal position.
  21. Or look into electronic ear plugs - they cut out when decibles rise above a certain level, much like the auto-darkening welding shields. Expensive though
  22. I tried to read it - couldn't hack it, too boring. It's just a disjointed rant, with bits of psychotic rage thrown in here and there. The Old Testament is just as horrible, but at least has some kind of logical narrative structure. Eventually got round to listening to the words of the Prophet (Allah be good to Him) on audio book. Ran it three times and still none the wiser.
  23. Was waiting for someone to say that. Angled top is key, just a 20 degree angle or so, and some tar, followed by a bit of aluminium mobile home siding or something cut in a circle, with four or five nails. The water won't get in if the tops are angled.
  24. What kind of questions does he ask you? Sounds like there's potential with this guy for a complicated practical joke
