Do you have issues looking where you're going and where you're putting your feet at the same time? Because with tied shoes, I can keep my eyes up and surveying the world around me, assured that I'll not have easily avoidable tripping hazards I have to keep my eyes on. Regardless, I think the conclusion we can both agree on, is why don't people just wear velcro strap shoes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall those being hard to acquire when I was a kid, though I am not sure why. My grandfather had MS and do recall that my grandmother converted all his laced shoes and button shirts to have concealed Velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I tend to do both with the same gaze. I don't look too far ahead, but I see enough of where I am going and where my feet will land to not trip.

I was half worried you were talking about recycling that into hotdogs...🤢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Nominally speaking there's just about nothing in an animal that is actually waste if it is used correctly... That's especially true for pigs who are easily rendered and don't have true hooves. American culture is not good about using an entire animal the way others (even EU cultures) are. I am a product of that culture so I tend not to like thinking about what a sausage (or hotdog) casing is. Similarly, Pork Rinds is an acquired taste in the US but chicharrones are widely used in recipes across Mexico and elsewhere in the world. Same for pigs knuckles and all the other "trash" portions...

Isn't that the whole point of recycling, though? To minimize waste. If it is recycled, it ceases to be waste. Definition of waste: "Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use." So recycling is kinda an oxymoron. To find use for waste is to establish that it isn't actually waste.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Nominally, recycling is taking something that is not useful in its current form and altering it to make it useful in a new form. That's the difference between reuse and recycle. Regarding bits of pig, pigs are entirely useful... No such thing as recycling (unless you are a USer who turns your nose up at things like pigs knuckles, blood sausage and pork rinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It grows on you, same as any show you watch lots of episodes. But no, if you didn't like the first episode, Lucifer doesn't really change much from episode to episode. I like the show, but definitely to each their own. Show is alot like The Mentalist, or one of like a dozen other similar shows. It's crime show, but show revolves around a supernatural protagonist that doesn't really follow the law while fighting crime. Makes for an upbeat crime drama that's easier to detach from reality - realistic crime shows can be really depressing, better to keep them very fictional.

Like Pax said, it's basically Castle with satan. Some elements are akin to Supernatural (inspired by the same myths). It has a decent budget, filmed well. Some story arcs better than others. Lots of non-judgemental thinking promotion. Family boundaries and issues. Feeling from episode to episode is similar to Gotham. That said, it did take me a few episodes to get into the show and attach to a character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 When you wave a greeting to someone else, are you showing kindness by acknowledging them, or are you selfishly trying to get them to acknowledge you? For me, sometimes it feels kind and sometimes it feels selfish. Have only really just started considering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
