| ^^ Perhaps an arbitrator? Certainly not Yoko Ono. Or, to do it yourselves, go through the lists of what you find preferable and look for points where three or two agree. You may have to put the fun of playing together ahead of playing at your very best. Find the lowest common denominator - maybe jus... |

| Perhaps you can create a virtual manager. Have meetings, as if a manager was calling them, and ask each other what an organized manager would do. Draw on your observations of others in the business. Make "to-do" lists. Vote on what "BigBoss" or whatever pet name you like would de... |

| Greta Thunberg is a Climate Activist who is on The Spectrum. I'm just wondering how People on this site feel about Her. Do you consider Greta to be a good role Model/Influence? Just looking for some opinions, please no hateful comments. I think she really has her priorities straight, and should cer... |

| P.S. - I live on almost flat land, but I see a ridiculous number of bikes that are really only suitable for downhill racing. The really expensive ones are not extremely heavy, but then are hard to park securely. Unless you will spend a lot of time off-road or on gravel, hard, narrow tires will save ... |

| ^^ If I'd waited for infrastructure, I'd never have gotten anywhere. Quite a few guys rode high-wheelers to the Yukon gold rush. I won't write out a whole manual here, but I can help you choose worthwhile instructions. If you see anyone like yourself riding, you might ask them for advice. The basic ... |

| Good to hear this. Germany and Denmark also has a good infrastructure for bicycling, right? I'm pretty sure Denmark does, but I don't know about Germany. I would not like riding on a crowded bikeway, which seems to happen in the low countries. I like to go at my own speed. If you want to get seriou... |

| I recently had to make a custom keyboard drawer and mounting for it. It was complex enough that I had to make a sketch first, and a list of parts to cut. The list then helped check the dimensions planned without the need for scale drawings. I like drafting, too, when it is needed, but a sketch and a... |

| I think I understand. What I hate is when I have problems and they take too long or too much energy to solve. One well-known scientist said that his biggest advantage was being able to tolerate uncertainty about how to properly understand the research for much longer than average. When small childr... |

| One day, I'd been working on a house renovation with a crew for a couple of months, and we were almost done. I was asked to make sure that the building was secure, so I went around to each of the doors and windows, made a list of missing hardware, went to the store, and installed the lot. Then, I we... |

| I did all my bicycling in North America, where most experienced riders prefer the roads to the official bicycle facilities. The Netherlands have excellent bikeways, lots of company on them, and no hills, but there are very few places I consider unrideable. With a bike, you can find alternative paths... |

| Humans like to pretend that their lives are proceeding in the most harmonious, natural way - parents loving and caring wisely for their children, and eventually receiving loving care from them. When there are enough resources, the urge to nurture anything in need is quite enjoyable, from house plant... |

| I've always had trouble with good byes in group situations. If I don't want to interrupt to join a discussion, interrupting to mention leaving, which needs no elaboration, feels like a worse interruption. Generally, I'm irrelevant to the group and I doubt that anyone cares. In this case, we have bee... |
