That's exactly why I started using a purse. I keep it by the door, and I find it very easy to remember to take it with me every time. It has my wallet, house keys, bike lock key, reading glasses, etc. All the things that I have forgotten so many times before.

I'm a guy, btw, and I'm sad that I let societal pressures keep me from purses for so long.

I mean, it is literally fantastic. I was hoping at first that was what they meant. But no.

What are you trying to accomplish here?

Everyone else: next one is September 1st.

Trumpstein didn't kill himself!

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.

But also the work itself is never the worst kind of work. Everything that must be done as a matter of survival in a society like that is stuff that some people do as hobbies in a society like ours. It probably helps that there is no one thing that anyone has to do all day every day.

Also their leisure time was probably much more fulfilling. They sang instead of listening to Spotify, told each other stories instead of watching movies, played sports instead of watching professionals do it, etc.

I suspect drudgery is a symptom of modern societies and not a natural state. Imagine being part of a small tribe of nomadic people 500 years ago. When the hunters return to camp with an elk and it's time for you to help tan the hide or what not, are you really going to feel put out because it interrupted the game you were playing with beads and sticks? I doubt that.

Uphill both ways!

I make table with dates in the columns often, and reuse them yearly with new dates. I haven't had the exact problem you discuss, but I bet my lame workaround would help: I edit all my table content in a spreadsheet as a csv file with ampersand as the delimiter. Then I open the csv file with a text editor and copy/paste it into LaTeX.

Not that this solves the problem you found. It just makes editing and reusing tables much easier for me.

There's a difference between the party's politicians, whom you described, and the rank and file voters who want small government. The reason the politicians always succeed in lying to the voters about what they intend to do, is that they appeal to the racist hatred that trumps everything else.

Dude is a pos, and old, but ageism like all bigotry is always wrong.

In a democracy the winner of the election doesn't get to do whatever they want. They have to only do what's legal. The election is no longer relevant, because the US no longer has a democracy.

I don't think more difficult is correct, just different. Take cars as an example (because I don't know anything about the engineering of large buildings): In the 1930's and 40's it would have been completely impossible to design and build a 2020's car. But the cars that they did build then were not "more difficult" to design and build.
Engineers don't work harder when they get new tools, they just make different things.
