  • Boy is this exactly the sort of “go down to that parking lot and hire a couple of ‘Mexicans’ (whatever country they really come from)” scenario that Trump is ruining in the US.

    Should you live somewhere else, there’s probably unskilled day workers who would hold the other end for a pittance and a lunch, and skilled day workers who would be more expensive but would have the whole thing done by lunchtime if you’d just get out of the way, dinnertime if you help.

    I say crack that box, and/or look online to find the instructions. If you know how to do what’s required, hire the cheap guy who will just do what you say. Still better than drunk friends who will argue with you. And he needs the money.


  • Be very careful, boys (and others) have been killed by collapsing sand holes. No matter how fast their friends tried to dig them out. The sand is not just cutting off your air, and filling your mouth and nose if you try to inhale, it’s also a crushing weight on your lungs, much more than avalanche snow for instance. If you want to dig a hole deeper than your chest, do it in more-solid dirt, not sand.

    I didn’t read the linked article but from skimming the intro, it seems they found that unprovoked men are more likely to be violent but hell hath no fury like a provoked woman?

    I initially connected your previous sentence, so I incorrectly thought it was the victim statistics that evened out, and the disparity was because the male victims were provoking, i.e. asking for it.
