Re: Lex Fridman on Leonard Cohen

check out this resource: https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/ I have finally finished reading this article, albeit not exclusively. I did find it very interesting, but not intriguing enough to take it up as a full time study. My favourite example is: I never generalize, because everyone who does is a hypoc...

Re: a lot of activity

Geoffrey and 4, I thank you both for your recent posts and the openings of your souls contained therein. Australia is a lot younger than USA and Norway in regards to European settlement, and my house is only about 60 years old. Unusually for this country, and bad for real estate agents, we have not ...

Re: Lex Fridman on Leonard Cohen

check out this resource: https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/ If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never take Philosophy of Logic courses is my advice! HI Panjandrum, Many thanks for this link. I haven't time to read it all now, but it looks fascinating. I have bookmarked it to allow me to re...

Re: a lot of activity

Hi Geoffrey, As with many Australian houses, mine has most of the internal walls constructed of a wooden frame covered by gyprock sheets. There tends to be a lot of ground movement here with very dry summers and quite wet winters, resulting in contraction and expansion of the clay subsoil. Thus gene...

Re: Lex Fridman on Leonard Cohen

i just have opinions sometimes. Many years ago I attended a seminar where the main speaker said something along the lines of "someone with an opinion without data, is just another person with an opinion." I must confess that it took me until long after the seminar was over to think that I...

Re: little activity

looks fabulous, alan. doesn't matter at all about the seam; if anything it just enhances - encourages one to realise how big it is. did you join the two boxed canvases together at the back before hanging, or did you do it the hard way and hang them separately? Hi Geoffrey, Thank you very much for y...

Re: little activity

I think it's really cool that you will transition the train set to a canvas print of a favorite set of photos. The wall art may likely go where a train set never could. Thanks for sharing that info Alan. The next update must be a pic of the print! Canvas print NZ panorama 40%.jpg Here it is. We dec...

Sorry, Vickie, I can add nothing to what Bev has posted.

Re: little activity

that was both sad and funny, alan, a tragicomedy - with scant details that awaken tantalising questions. for example: 1. how did it come into your possession, and what age were you? 2. is it a valuable collector's item, or simply a sentimental keepsake? 3. did you approach both male and female grand...

Re: little activity

Following on the journal/diary theme of recent times, yesterday I said goodbye to the last remnants of my childhood. Coming to terms with the realization that my grandchildren have no interest in my toys from last century, I sold my electric train and related bits and pieces. I am at peace, knowing ...
