Single, male, no kids. But I still know that babies appear when people have sex. And they normally don't appear when contraceptives are used, i.e. the pill. What will you do if she doesn't take the pill anymore and does not tell you? Honey, it was an accident. The only way you can prevent having a kid is by not having sex with her. Are you ready for that? It doesn't really matter if you want a kid or not, it's mostly up to her.

I agree, there could be a good reason for not telling. But then, Trump promises a lot of things, and somehow, he refuses to give details. And then he lies a lot, all the time. That combined, should we really believe he can and will do all the things which he promises? Did Mexico pay for that wall already?

Yes, we trust each other. Are there shackles? No legal shackles. But I am sure if one of us would want to walk away that wouldn't be an easy task. We both know that we have a good relationship. Is there a perfect relationship somewhere out there? Maybe. Is it likely? Not so much.

Is she stupid? Or does she know me, after we live together since forever? I think she knows how to live happily together, and she knows how she could make life miserable, i.e. by nagging all the time. Mostly she does her best to live happily together. And I do my best to live happily together. Win/win. She could complain i.e. that I am sometimes lazy. Maybe she does that, but not too much. She knows that sometimes I go out to gogo bars and look at the girls. She doesn't complain. Because until now I always came back home - and I never brought a disease or trouble home. I guess we both know they I could try to start a relationship with a younger girl. And maybe I would be excited about that for a few weeks or months. But would it last? Would it be long term as good as with my current gf? Unlikely! So, I won't try to find something better as long as I/we am happy. Could she tell me: Marry me or I go away? Sure. And then? Probably I would let her walk away. I would miss her. But what would happen if I married her because she insists that I do that? Will she be happy to be married? Or will she then demand this and that or else? I remember a friend who told me before his marriage that he talked with his fiancé, and she told him she won't make any trouble. Later, married, she changed her mind and told him what he is allowed to do and what not. I avoid such trouble.

It seems randomly I just picked that moment when they talked about Putin and Trump said he won't tell any details. Later I read two or three articles about the (highlights of that) interview and in each of them they mentioned above details. Like: Sure, I can do this. How? I won't tell. Obviously, there could be some secret how Trump might be able to convince Putin. But looking at the past, it seems it is a lot more likely that Putin tells Trump what to do and think. I would love to hear how Trump would end the Ukraine war. And I would love to hear what he would do with the situation in Israel. Trump does not want to give any details. And in a way I even understand that. Because whatever he would say, he would alienate some of his voters. So better say nothing and just tell everybody: I will make it better...

Maybe a week or two ago there was a thread in this forum about home automation. It seems a couple of members do those things. Maybe look it up. Sorry, I have no link. Personally, I work with Home Assistant and until now I never used Zigbee.

This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Ryan_(American_politician)

I am since a loooong time together with my gf, but I never married her. Why? Because I don't see the point why I should legally make my life more difficult. Probably I will stay together with my gf until one of us dies - most likely me first. And she will inherit if there is anything left. But somehow, I like it that in theory I could end it in 5min - if I wanted to do that. She also knows that. And I am sure that helps her to appreciate the good life with me. Unfortunately, I see too many guys who had a lot of fun in their life until they married and especially until the kids arrived. Now they work mostly for the kids, and the wife gives them s#$@ if they want to go out with the boys. I guess if you want to take your darling back home and/or if you have kids then marriage makes kind of sense. But apart from that it's like a huge weight at the ankle.

I think with some cheese that is not a problem.

I saw lots of JRE interviews. Some are interesting. I think it's good that often he lets people just talk. Do you want to tell the world about aliens or this and that conspiracy theory? Just do it. So, listening to some people is enough to know that they are full of s#@$. I watched randomly a few one-minute sections from this interview. IMHO it's all just typical Trump. "I would have done it better." "Putin would not have done that if I would be president." Why? No explanation. Trump fans will obviously agree that he would have made everything better. But how many skeptical people will see Trump in a different light after that interview? It's hard (for me) to imagine that people see that interview and then think: Wow, what a guy, let's vote for him.

I will never forget one BBQ street food guy which I saw most days. One day I saw when most of his raw meat fell down into the gutter. And what did he do? He picked it all up, cleaned it a little, and 10min later it just looked like before, lots of "fresh" meat to BBQ. I never eat anything from that guy again. But I still have that bad feeling that he is not the only street food guy who would have done that. Would it kill anybody who eats it? Probably not. But that something like that happens at all is scary.

I guess that is a better way to die than worrying all the time about healthy food.

Thanks YaBaa? Or what are the options and effects (as far as you read or heard)?

Do you really expect "blood in the streets" is the official result shows that Trump won? I am sure some DEMs supporters would complain. But more with words than actions. The other way around is obviously a very different thing. Let's hope for the best.

I have no idea. As far as I know it would be easy to sniff white powder without a construction like that.

It seems you know that there are differences. That's the important part. People have different opinions of what is good or bad, fine. But if people have different opinions about the meaning of words, that makes no sense. There are definitions out there for a reason. And it's easy to look them up - if people want to learn and educate themselves.

Really? Is that what all stupid people do?

a) I am not American, and I obviously don't vote in that country b) I don't care about some badly edited something which someone put together. c) If I want to see someone talking with no sense, I can just look at any speech from Trump. Nothing has to be edited; he just talks like an idiot.

I saw this construction of a plastic straw and (it seems) some cigarette box paper in a bathroom. Is this something people use for taking drugs? If yes, which drugs? Or is this something completely harmless?

"You" also elected Boris. But to be fair, you learned that you better don't vote for him again.

I remember some videos from a so-called audiophile called Danny. He was promoting weird ideas and products, and he called others flat-earthers because those others didn't understand that he is a genius - at least in his opinion. Otherwise, I stay away from supporters of the orange one. For that reason, I don't often hear about the flat earth. 😉

Tyranny Fascism is Far Left? Free speech is Far Right? Mob Rule is Extreme Right? Where did you get that from? TikTok? And then your attitude to "nuanced differences". It's like writing a Ford Model T is the same as a Porsche 911. Yes, sure, they are both cars. But there are some differences... With post like above I never know if people are actually that stupid and ignorant, or this is a joke or what?

What's wrong with an impact driver?

Millennials?

You just made it to my ignore list. Thanks for your confirmation.
