Sorry - I don't think I worded that well. I'd try dates with folks who I didn't feel chemistry. When I say chemistry, I mean social - not sexual. There are a handful of people that I click with socially, and then the vast majority that I don't.

I ended up marrying one of the few people I do click with socially.

I've never really considered sexual chemistry before. In my experience, sex is an activity like many others: you need to practice to make it work; when you're doing it with someone else, there's a learning curve to get it right for both of you; and sometimes one or both of you don't get it right, so it kinda sucks.

Asexual is a tag that came around long after I'd left the dating pool. I'm not really familiar with what it means.

I really enjoy winter. It's the one season where I can regulate my temperature. I'm glad you're getting out more though.

Nope. I thought maybe I could find chemistry with people if I got to know them better, but that doesn't seem to be the case. At least for me.

Going out to bars when I was a student. I wanted to spend time with people, not spend money on the outing.

Not pretended, but when I was dating, I'd say yes to a first date with anyone who seemed vaguely compatible. I'd try to make some chemistry happen. It didn't.

Downvotes and no comments. Nice.

They aren't balancing the budget, just jettisoning stuff they didn't like and running a deficit.

Agreed: rewrite the law to avoid obvious edge cases. It doesn't seem like a difficult proposition.

You can totally pet bears. Once.

As someone who read the post: there's no actual reporting or substantiating, just a few quoted tweets.

I held my parents hands when we were in crowded places. Until I accidentally grabbed some random woman's hand and felt really awkward. I probably stopped around age 7.

I love holding my kids hands. They're big enough that I don't think I'll get to hold my elder son's hand again, and I might get to hold my little guy's hand a few more times. Here's hoping.

I have to roll in the open, otherwise I'm tempted to lie about the rolls to benefit the players. I don't want to, it just happens.

One senior NDP source and two Conservative sources say the path believed to be most likely is that some of the NDP’s seven MPs could abstain from voting, allowing the budget to pass.

That's the meat of the article.

The Conservatives aren't in a great place in the polls (compared to last fall) - and they could suffer blowback by triggering an election.

I'm guessing they'll complain about the carbon tax (stupidly) and cost of living issues (rightly) and then orchestrate enough abstentions that the government doesn't fall.

You can never have enough doves

If it's readable and well organized, I read it. I did the vim tutorial because it was very easy to run through. Ditto for some of the Android lifecycle docs.

But there are a lot of bad docs out there.

All, new

I need content

I just got around to listening to Selu Vibra. They're awesome! Thanks for posting this.

It's a preview, so that doesn't seem too surprising. Like the post says, you can switch back to the regular client pretty easily.

How do you clean up leaves? I'm new to lawncare, so I've bagged up the thickest piles and run a lawnmower over the slight detritus that's left. The "mulch mow" didn't chop up the leaves as much as I expected, so I'm not sure if I should rake up those bits or let nature take its course.

We're not monolithic. No generation is. Those movies were kinda popular, but they found their success with a subset of the generation, not the entire group.

Just like every other generation, when we're relatively comfortable (or exhausted from daily survival), we don't have time to foment revolution.
