"pole bending" What a great, descriptive phrase! It is nice, isn't it :) Most occupations seem to have such slang in-jokes that aren't used in other circumstances. Given the minuscule amount of force necessary to move the stick, the concept of bending it is unthinkable. I always assumed i...

It depends on the person using the word I find. Pleasure from a closely related person's achievements is the textbook definition of pride. It's when it crosses into glory and making it about yourself i.e. achievement by proxy, there's a problem. She did the work and got the degree. I am happy for h...

Hey, there was zero duck-tape or WD-40 abuse on this project.

I'm a man. But I can change. If I have to. I guess.

Thanks; that's what I was going for: Looks like it was made that way.

mnem
yes, you may touch it.

but you need to explain why volts are better in blue.

No I don't.

green would actually have been my first choice.

Like who ever thought that wasn't gunna happen ? Will T'rump and his BFF Putin fall out? Will T'rump notice that Putin is stringing him along? What happens then? Does that mean Putin has a deadline for reconnecting Kaliningrad to mainland Russia at the Suwałki gap, or as some have suggested, restor...

Trump doesn't understand anything beyond the tip of his own penis. :roll: mnem Again, on behalf of all sane Americans ...

Hand to god! Baby geese... goslings. They were juggled!

I have a picture somewhere of daffodils in full flower, weighed down by about 3 inches of snow. I recall it was taken in early April about 8 years back. Very unusual for the south west of England, but it does happen from time to time. For the past three weeks the weather has been unusually warm and...

Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum...

What I find much more telling is how many owners of such animals' appearance is so very much like them. It's as if looking like you were swallowing your face were a cultural value or something. :lol: mnem "It's like watching a train wreck; you're horrified, but you can't look away..."

"I suspect that, as with the BBC, that is because there is no pressure from the advertisers to create ever more episodes until the content becomes homeopathic. Yes M*A*S*H, I'm looking at you" probably why we still praise the quickly canceled "firefly" . if they had killed off &...

I can't remember the series. It was about 1958. I remember those other series including Lost In Space and Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea. There are some episodes on Youtube. They seemed great at the time but crude and dated now. I always thought Space Patrol was silly. Star Trek wasn't much later ...

As for the larger issue surrounding the whole shitty mess... yeah, it's a shitty mess. As has been mentioned; "volunteer" shitty mess. :roll: It sucks, but I think this is a "pick your battles" scenario. You're probably best off treating it as a life lesson about working with dum...
