Samesies!

Not an answer to your question, but…

are you saying I need to be worried about fonts spying on me now? Like typeface?

I think I would drive electronics as something where electricity is being used as a signal, not just for power. So lamp no, heater no, amplifier yes. Lamp with dimmer knob is borderline.

Sadly the Co-op bank nowadays operates pretty much like any other bank.

(I think they’re exaggerating to emphasise how bad other things are for comedic effect.)

Those are all good examples of the sort of thing you mean, but it’s not a definition. I think if you want to be able to put into words where to draw the line, you’ll need to define this term more clearly. If that’s too difficult, then be satisfied with judging each situation as it comes, your instincts will help guide you. But go easy on yourself, you shouldn’t feel bad for doing what you need to do,

May we know?

lol. you failed to fully grasp what the other comments were getting at, and still you went in strong with a confident and aggressive tone. I commend you 👏👏👏

I wouldn’t want to assume, but do you identify as American by any chance?

The OP is about a different country, it’s possible ‘most people’ in that place do live ‘downtown’. But even if it’s not most, still there’s a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations.

Have you been wwoofing? I did a little, a long time ago. Good times (mostly).

Which countries have the best flags in terms of flavour?

I didn’t think I had one, but when I read yours I remembered mine.

If I see someone parked carelessly all the way over in the side of the space, I’ll park nice and neatly right in the middle of the space next to them, not allowing any extra space for their selfishness. I’m OK with squeezing in and out, and my car is much older and less valuable than any of theirs if they damage it, so I feel like I’m doing society a small service by making my weird passive-aggressive point this way.

From what I heard, that flight did not go high enough to be in ‘space’ by the generally accepted definition, and also those passengers did not meet the criteria to be called astronauts (basically you need to do something while you’re up there for it to count).

Yes, that ‘void’ would still have fields running through it - electric, magnetic. Whatever the fuck gravity actually is.

The universe apparently has an edge, so maybe on the other side of that is the absolute nothingness? But does it really exist in any meaningful sense? If spatial dimensions themselves are part of what ends at the edge, there kind of isn’t an other side.

Maybe not really existing is part of the definition of absolute nothingness.

Have heard some great ones in Glasgow. The best part of you slid down the inside of yer mother’s leg.

Always finish a shower with cold water!

UK forestry (as far as I’ve seen) mostly consists of felling sitka spruce and lodgepole pine monocultures that were planted right after WW2 and never taken care of again. As a result the wood is shit quality and mostly goes for pulp/chipboard or biomass.

Higher grades of timber need to have straight grain and less knots, so that is achieved by selectively thinning out the forest maybe every 10 years, and pruning off lower branches. But this adds a lot of man-hours and cost, so I’ve never seen anyone doing that in UK. Tbf I haven’t been around the industry at all since COVID, and the price of timber went up so much maybe things are changing.

The Sopranos!

Yeah I think getting the attachment point down to your hips should help a lot. Less wasted energy working against gravity, and you’ll be applying force more directly with your legs, rather than using a lot of core strength.

What about it is too difficult? Is your harness hurting? Or is there a jarring sudden load with every step?

Thank you for that wonderful image of Sean.

I imagine you’re spending a lot of extra energy pulling up against the downwards component of the tension, and similar effects from the curved rigid cart handle. I agree with the comment that suggested a sled-pulling harness because more of your force would be in the direction you’re interested on.
