Comment on Local coffee/tea cultures? in ~talk
Enoch Link ParentI wish people went back to that wholesale. Freshly ground coffee is just delicious. Or it could be the lingering smell from the grinding, I don't know.I wish people went back to that wholesale. Freshly ground coffee is just delicious.

That's changed a lot these last 20 years I would say. I do buy some things for functionality but most I think about and match with what I have. I'd go batty seeing myself in the same togs every day. Maybe try a little variety see what "suits" you? (sorry had to)
same dress
There you go again non sequitur'ing ... So how do you do that without people asking things?

And most importantly, put anyone with their back to the wall and see what happens.
I'm for a friendly co-existence with anyone, but purely logically speaking my bigots are someone else's champions, and who am I to force my view? I've seen enough people deflate if you just pay them no mind and keep saying "Hi" in the street.

If that happened as you describe it you shouldn't just drop that some place and say nothing else.
It's not a personal dig, but a friendly tip, OK?

There used to be articles and I think at least one book by an Englishwoman living in France who wrote from the point of view of a stodgy major visiting France. Very funny stuff cause spot on observations. Not saying turn it into comedy but you know, hold up a mirror?

Enoch Link ParentAn old Sparc 5 workstation. I love that thing. Functionality-wise you're probably better off with Open- or Free-BSD, but this is one slick little machine that works so smoothly I can't let it go.An old Sparc 5 workstation. I love that thing.

I was carrying an Atari 1040ST and in too much of a hurry to get home. Difference is I never did anything about it.

Got to agree with you there. I was under the impression it's due to the tensing up as well. I mean you can lose weight by taking cold baths cause your whole system tenses up like mad. Our athletes do this to quickly slip into a nearby weight class, so your heart/lungs/adrenaline idea, and I'd say most muscles in the limbs having a workout while you're stationary sounds about right.
