Thursday complaints
  • Yesterday (Thursday) I spent the day shifting stuff out of the garage (about to be knocked down) into a self store. The room we've got there is up some steps.

    After a long day, I dropped a heavy thing on my foot. Felt like a fool, and also in amazing pain. Took my sock off there sat on/in the car boot to have a look (gross is all I'll say). That's all my race training postponed for a week at least (supposed to be Triathloning).

    Then had to hulk the rest of the stuff up the stairs and finish up, because it was just me! Luckily that was the last car load.

    Learned my lesson, next time I'm bringing a friend. And possibly steel capped boots.

  • What if the length of a term was proportional to the amount you won by in the election?
  • Short sightedness in politics is already painful for all of us.

    Nobody's tackling climate change, nobody's building anything fairer for younger generations, especially in places without enough housing (and what there is owned by older generations).

    I won't list all the problems this would make worse, but for example, do you really want a government with only 6 months to do 2-3 extreme populist things, hoping to dredge up enough support to get a larger mandate next time?

  • I actually use a dice (D6, 50:50 choice usually) to decide between two options sometimes.

    The idea is to fool my brain into revealing what it really wants. Like, if I can't decide, I'll assign each choice odds or evens, then roll.

    If I'm OK with the result, then it decided for me no problem. Maybe I didn't care, maybe I preferred what I rolled.

    If I don't like it, then RNG just showed me what I really wanted – now I can go with the other option.

    Reduces decision fatigue, and speeds up my life. I've been teaching it to my kids (although their favourite RNG is the Chwazi app.)

  • We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands
  • Only place I use cash for is the Fish and Chip shop. They did have contactless during covid, but the transaction fees from the bank are a big % if most of your custom is small orders, so they bite those for online orders and it's cash only in the shop.
