I'm still not a fan of the new shape, bring me back my sharper edged bricks...

The concept of house of lords has never been a problen for me, the issue is the undemocratic makeup of its members.

It somewhat invalidates non-binary people by not including them. Grammatically it isn't necessary (and as an aside is unnecessarily clunky, 6 chrs vs 4) so by using it instead of singular they, it can be seen as exclusionary.

Singular they is not a new concept designed to appeal to the "woke crowd". I was very much taught in school to use singular they, it was always something used when the gender of the subject was unknown and often even if it is known but unimportant. It has been part of the English language for a long time.

I was so confused when i found out not everyone had channel 5. And we had the vhs tuned to 5 on the tv so channel 5 was on 6...

Norton made a few, the Commander (not Commando) in the late 80s and early 90s was the main one, they bought the tooling from Hercules. Didn't really work out in the long run.

Thanks! Time is quite hard to estimate as they are all experiments in different techniques, the bigger cuffs take a lot longer just because of all the edge finishing and stitching. Some were probably about 4-6 hours.

The blue one was fun, I should make more and it was actually really fast. Its a 'mystery braid' bracelet, so named because it is done without any cuts in the leather. Probably one of the fastest things to make as it is just a simple strip, 3 cuts and a fastener. Most of the time was spent watching how to do the braid and how to get the right measurement. I think it took around an hour to make but it would be much easier and faster the more you make.

Big fan of bracelets and cuffs, i make quite a few myself. Most of these are experiments as im still learning but a couple i wear fairly often.

There are non-venomous vipers?

It strikes me as extremely stereotypically american and to be honest I've never really understood it. To me a name seems such a big part of being an individual that to have the same as a parent seems a little odd - and it always seems to be for men and not women. It also makes me think of rich white oil barons, like Dallas, a very nouveau riche thing to do and maybe a little pretentious.

The main thing i would be concerned of is if there or may be two sons, will the non-inherited name child think they are somehow lesser? Would it create some resentment?

Sharing generational middle names is a thing here but I can't say I'm personally a fan of doing it for first names.

Thats not to say I don't find it quite impressive you have already got the counter to 4 or that it is some awful thing like calling your child something stupid or unpronounceable, you know better than an internet stranger in that regard.

Whats the wrong way of crossing your legs?

I used to read Dresden Codak a million moons ago! Haven't thought about it in a long time (unless Carl Jung gets mentioned).
