  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I spend a lot of time fixing and making stuff. So soldering, cutting, grinding, drilling etc. probably means a lot more stuff hitting the fabric in front. And I pick up stuff that I sometimes brace against my chest. My dad used to make comments about the difference between guys with knees worn out of their jeans as opposed to those for whom the seat was worn out first. Just saying.

Why do they keep putting those awful things in my mixed nuts?

They also have very high levels of selenium. It's very possible to be poisoned from eating too many Brazil nuts. But given their taste and texture, I don't suppose that happens very often.

On the first page of this thread I admitted that I don't do much. I'm a man of ideas. :study:

Having a bowl of mixed nuts sitting on your belly while vegging out in front of netflix would definitely cause more wear and tear on the front of your shirt, especially if stirring the bowl to segregate the brazil nuts from the others. I think we've solved @Chesterton's conundrum!

Hmm... Most of my ideas involve "well, let's go and see what actually happens." I was 14 when my chemistry set was banned to the garden shed.

I occasionally did stuff. My chemistry set was banned when I put a snail in a test tube of sodium.

This reminds me of the mystery small holes in a t-shirt I once had...

My freshman year in college I (like many in my dorm) got a particular lowish quality t-shirt for signing up to the "hall association" (prime non-tshirt benefit was the weekly movie series). At some point that year I noticed several small holes in the shirt and it was "weird". That summer I realized that the source was probably a splash of weak acid from chemistry class.
