I knew before looking, that this would be the first comment on this picture 😂

Speaking only for myself, I only do this if I think there’s some risk that I’ll whallop my head on the lintel, placing my hand on the lintel helps my body figure out if it needs to duck or not.

Did Semele just… Show up one day?

I conflated conflagration with conflation 🤦‍♂️

Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!

Languages are fun :)

I’m almost certain this is pine, the grain lines are very spaced apart, suggesting it was grown very rapidly too, so probably not a very old table.

It took me a while but “cocktails” for anyone else out there like me

“You ARE the droid I’ve been looking for”

20 years is extremely optimistic.

This feels to me like one of those optical illusions where the “wall” is in reality the floor.

Yeah, it did suck. It is much much better now though. I genuinely enjoy it at the moment.

I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I’d actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That’s a one way trip to the toilet…

Haha, if someone remembers something that everyone else has forgotten is it really embarrassing… No one would believe him anyway!

This is a great quote, I also like to say (especially in places like airports or government buildings):

It’s not a rat race, it’s a rat queue.

Ok, I can agree with this logic “it’s better to try than to give in” much more than “there’s always a solution”.

That to me still leaves some people starving of hunger due to a lack of money and an excess of bills. But I agree that even in that horrible situation it’s better to keep trying than give in.

I was worried the argument here was closer to “you’re in this terrible situation because you didn’t try enough” which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

I feel now that we’re in agreement though?

This is reductive to the point of absurdity, if this were true no one would ever die from any problem (i.e. drowning, falling, etc.) They’d simply activate ingenuity.

Some problems do not have a solution in a given circumstance.

E.g. I’m locked in a prison on a sinking ship that’s already 1km underwater, and my cell is completely full of water and I’ve held my breath for 2 minutes now.

I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing

Not trying to suggest that this makes an ebike your answer, but an ebike typically moves at ~25kmph (and can be cheaply jigged to go up to 50kmph), so the trip should be 2 hours or less, depending on terrain and all that fun stuff.

Even so, 4 hours of commuting is still too much, and as I said, I’m not trying to argue with you - or tell you how you should be moving yourself around - just looking to correct what appears to be a bad estimate of travel time in your comment.

I’ve had this game since ea with 4 hours played time. I decided to give this update a go, and I’m so impressed. Performance is much better and I’m actually having tons of fun.

The missions to slowly grow the challenge and reward science work so well. I highly recommend giving it a go, if you already own it
