A real headache to argue over
  • First they would have to carry the head to the coast which is no easy task without a Toyota. You make it sound like crossing the Mediterranean is easy but storms are frequent and problematic. The ancient Israelites were not known for their seafaring prowess. In fact, they once got lost in the desert for 40 fucking years, so their ability to navigate by the stars is doubtful. Once they arrived in Italy, then, they would have had to cart that monstrosity hundreds of miles to Rome. And remember, this was before all road led there so, even more difficult. Finally, one should ask themselves why they would bother.

  • House of Terror
  • I visited by accident. I was expecting a 'house of horrors' or a cheesy wax museum of ancient oddities. It was way more serious and depressing than I expected. And I have no regrets. The tragedy of humans fucking over their neighbors and acquaintances was eye-opening

  • Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled

    Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

  • Interesting choice of word. 'Killed' implies that there was a human action that caused the death. Considering that the boat was stolen, overloaded and that the parents were present, who does Al Jazeera hold responsible?

  • what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you?
  • There is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, "Aren't you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?" The older monk replies without breaking his stride, "I put her down hours ago."

  • Bargain
  • Tastes may vary but it looks like it's constructed pretty well. If there are grooves for the base and top of the wine bottle those turn buckles will hold it tightly in place. Not my thing, but nice upcycling design.
