  • So here we are in the deep freeze

  • A trebuchet, but made with modern materials.

  • Do you enjoy nail art?

    Jump

  • I just wish I could grow decent fingernails. Mine are so weak and crumbly.

  • What item in the house do you secretly want to break so you can replace it?

    Jump

  • The hot water heater. I would love to replace the huge gas heated tank with an electric unit that takes up a fraction of the space. It's new enough that it probably has another 8 to 10 years of life in it though.

  • Creative Wednesday... how have you been creative recently?

    Jump

  • Making a new swimsuit as the old one is getting too loose.

  • This smoking pipe made from asbestos

    Jump

  • "Now with extra cancer!"

  • Hispanic voters sent Trump back to power. Now some are souring

    Jump

  • The "good businessman" part is especially baffling.

  • When do you know to stop investing in an old bike and buy a new one?

    Jump

  • I used to do track racing years ago. You always knew who was about to buy a new track frame by the loud cracking noise their bottom bracket shell made as it broke away from the seat tube when they started a kilo (1000m time trial). It was always some sprinter with enormous quadriceps muscles.

  • How high is your sex drive?

    Jump

  • These days, almost non existent. My libido plummeted after menopause. In a way I don't miss it, because it feels like my rational brain has got control of my body back. In my 20s I had a very strong sex drive and it was a major distraction. Used to "fall in love" with unsuitable men quite a lot.

  • I'd wear that

    Jump

  • That white one looks like a cone coffee filter.

  • xkcd #3196: Aurora Coolness

    Jump

  • Ideally you want to be out in a rural area, far from city lights.

    Jump

  • Same in Saskatoon. We seem to miss all the good night sky experiences.

  • xkcd #3196: Aurora Coolness

    Jump

  • My best aurora experience took place in August, oddly enough. It was a warm night, so I went out on the deck and laid on the chaise lounge, my big cat of the time flopped out on my chest. The moon was about 3/4 full and for some reason a small prop plane was circling overhead (there's a flight school out at the airport, probably it was from there). Then I saw the ghostly curtain of an aurora to the north. Very poetic experience.

  • Monday motivation... what are you going to sort out this week?

    Jump

  • Best of luck to you.

  • What's a way your body aged that you didn’t expect?

    Jump

  • Dry skin. It's as if my sebaceous glands just switched off after menopause.

  • What's a way your body aged that you didn’t expect?

    Jump

  • Woman alarmed after being asked to leave Conservative town hall over T-shirt

    Jump

  • A lot of die hard right wingers view life as a zero sum game. It's why they want to dismantle universal health care.

  • When do you know to stop investing in an old bike and buy a new one?

    Jump

  • I sold the touring bike that I commuted to work on for 23 years when the frame started feeling really whippy, especially going uphill out of the saddle. Metal does fatigue over time, even steel.

    Also, it was a mid-80s bike with a 6 speed freewheel and those were getting harder to find.

  • Pretty accurate description...

    Jump

  • I find that reading about it is somewhat better than watching it. At least that way I don't have to hear his grating whiny voice.
