Can't say I've ever much enjoyed it myself either. It's something I've always just done for her and I'm just happy to get it over with. One of the best things about being single is not having to even think about it.

For most construction related stuff: on the job with someone with 30+ years of experience. You can only learn it by doing it but it's good to have someone telling what you should and should not do.

I'm just here to figure out what that word was even supposed to be

So I'm not the only on sitting on my bathroom floor watching the front-loading washing machine do its thing through the window. I find it mesmerizing and oddly meditative.

I always use the web app when possible and when not possible, I don't use the service at all.

This is yet another of those american things I never understood.

I don't ever use the credit side of my card and I virtually never pay cash for anything nor do I as a bussiness owner want cash either.

I do keep some amount of cash and do not want to ever move into cashless society but as a payment method I consider it virtually obsolete.

I've probably done something correctly in my life since I can't say I even know what that sounds like. I think I've done one video call ever when I was getting my permit for hot work. I don't remember what app I used for that.

I've heard about this as well. Though if I remember correctly, it still requires you to go through the medical examination, and then be prescribed the pills. If you just order sugar pills online they don't tend to do anything.

In fact, I think this even applies to things like some forms of surgery. People have thought they got knee surgery and have gotten better when in fact they didn't.

Not sure what to conclude from this. Perhaps next time I'll just say that my dishonest opinion is that the food was great.

It's not the metal can I'd be worried about but the coating that now is in the content itself.

The closest you can get to a general purpose drill bit is a basic twist drill made for metal. That works equally well on softer materials like wood and plastic. Other than that, no. You typically choose the bit based on what you're drilling into. Also, not all twist drills are made equal. HSS-R (rolled) works for wood, plastic and soft metals like aluminium, copper or brass. HSS-G (ground) is the bit you probably should be using especially if you're drilling into steel. Then there's also HSS-Co or HSS-E (cobalt) which is for hard metals like stainless steel. Then there's also carbide bits but those are for drill presses and such.

Diamond bits work the way you describe but they're for ceramics and glass. If you try using one on wood or plastic it'll just clog up immediately. There's a reason twist drills look like that: they're designed to lift the removed material from the hole so that the bit can drill. A bit similar to how an orbital sander works much better with a vacuum attached so the dust layer doesn't sit between the sanding disc and the surface you're sanding.

Then again, for concrete you not only need a masonry bit but ideally one with an SDS+ attachment for a dedicated hammer drill. You could technically use a diamond or non-hammer masonry bit as well but it would be extremely slow and you'd probably overheat the bit which affects the heat treatment of it which then causes it to get dull and quit drilling and just start heating up even more.

I doubt it's anything highly toxic but you're still not supposed to eat it as it probably isn't good for you. Teflon isn't good for you either but it's fine for as long as it stays on the pan and doesn't transfer into the food.

The only exception I could come up with is if it’s like in a workplace meeting a question of “what do you think?” ...

Lying would still be a bit pointless as you could also just say that you wish not to tell.

Last time I was searching for a job I didn't even look for ones with open positions. There's so many people applying that I won't even bother. I simply looked up a company I wanted to work for and cold-emailed them with a free-form application. I didn't even attach a CV or anything. The second company I emailed called me in for an interview. I've previously also just gone to the physical location and asked face to face. If they tell me to send an email application I say that I won't and then go to the next place.

Every time I bring this up I get ridiculed for my boomer advice yet somehow I'm not the one ever complaining about unemployment or financial struggles.

Nowadays I run my own company and if I ever hire an employee it's not going to be someone who sent me a formal application. It's someone who calls me asking for work while also demonstrating genuine enthusiasm about it. I could not care less what their credentials are - I want someone who is motivated and takes pride in their work.

The trick is to drive a 20 year old car. I've got zero interest in new cars - I wouldn't want one even for free. Every time I have to drive one I get extremely frustrated by all the pointless features that I have no use for and are just acting as a distraction. Hell, I almost hit a cyclist once because the car wouldn't let me cross the centre line.

The day my truck dies I'll just buy another identical one and keep the old one as parts truck. It has everything I need and nothing I don't.. ..except automatic wipers.

Worry about population decline isn't about wanting more people. It's about wanting there to be enough working-age people to cover the retirement and medical payments of the ones no longer working. We know exactly how many 30-year-olds we'll have in 20 years and it's simply not enough. Something has to give and usually the first to go is the benefits for the people who most need them.

How does one follow from the other? You're just making a statement without any explanation about your reasoning.

If contributing to the economy the most means lower taxes then doesn't that suggest that the people with lowest income would be the ones taxed the highest? Doesn't quite fit my sense of fairness.

I have no issue telling people I'm not doing good if that is the truth. The meal example I can't say. Telling the truth there would be the right thing to do according to my principles but a situation like that almost never occurs - at least it hasn't for me over the past 7 years or so. Therefor I can't say that I absolutely would.

However, I've answered truthfully to even more uncomfortable questions than that in the past - regarding people's appearance for example - so from that perspective I see no reason why I wouldn't.

I'm unsure how I feel about a lie by omission. For me the point has always been not to actively deceive people by telling them something that's not true. I'm not obligated to tell everything that's on my mind. I can also just say that I don't want to answer. However if I evade answering the thing they are asking by dancing around it then that would count as deception.

Would you want to be lied to if your guest didn't like the food you served to them at all?

What do you exactly mean by "hoarding wealth"? I keep hearing this and nobody ever explains what they actually mean by it. Surely you're not imagining that wealthy people are just sitting on a pile of cash?
